T Global Tiket Network (tiket.com) has been appointed as the official ticket and travel app for MotoGP’s upcoming event Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit in South Lombok in March 2022. The honor was bestowed on the company by Mandalika Grand Prix Association (MGPA) and Dorna Sports, as the promoter and management of the sports event. MotoGP enthusiasts will be happy to know that tickets, including hotels and accommodation, are available for purchase and have been accessible on tiket.com apps since Jan 6.
The Mandalika Street Circuit is a MotoGP and SuperBike class racing highway spanning 4.31 kilometers and consisting of 17 bends. The route also gives racers beautiful views, such as the stretch of white sandy beaches in Tanjung Aan and Seger, lined hills and more picturesque views of the island.
The circuit offers up to 50,000 seats, while the non-seated area can accommodate 138,000 more people. It was inaugurated by President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo in November of last year (12/11/2021). The occasion was soon followed by the 2021 World Superbike event, where Yamaha's Toprak Razgatlioglu won the championship, making it the first event hosted by the circuit.
“It is an honor for us at tiket.com to be part of Indonesia's important history, this being the first time Indonesia has hosted a MotoGP event located in Mandalika — one of five super priority destinations being developed by the government to become a post-pandemic tourism superpower area,” said Gaery Undarsa, cofounder and chief marketing officer of tiket.com. He added that the event would surely encourage the promotion of Mandalika tourism.
“We are really excited to be able to establish a strategic collaboration with tiket.com as the official ticket and travel app partner for MotoGP events in Indonesia,” said Aji Aditra Perdana, commercial vice president of MGPA. “We truly believe in the superior performance of tiket.com as an online travel agency (OTA) pioneer in providing many conveniences for the community by providing complete payment methods and travel solutions, to witness firsthand the most prestigious motorcycle racing event in the world.”
The race will be a historic moment, for MotoGP fans and the country, as this is the first event that will be held in Indonesia. Tickets for the Mandalika MotoGP event itself are available in various price options for daily passes, ranging from Rp 115,000 to Rp 10 million for a 3-day series package in the hospitality class (Royal Box, deluxe).
As the leading OTA, tiket.com has prepared packages for visitors beyond the race. In addition to the tickets, the company will also provide a wide selection of travel packages to Lombok and destinations in Mandalika, including hotel and accommodation options. Moreover, offers include entrance tickets to various tourist destinations, vehicle rentals for travel, tour guides and swab tests, which is an obligation for every inter-city traveler.
"I invite the people of Indonesia to witness the important history of Indonesia as the host of the MotoGP event together. We will experience the excitement of world-class MotoGP racers competing and the beauty of the Mandalika area in South Lombok” Gaery concluded. “We cannot forget to remind everyone to apply health protocols both during the trip and when we are at the destination. This is done for the good and comfort of fellow travelers, tourism workers and local residents."
