Tens of Thousands of BRI Customers Can't Wait to Watch FIFA Matchday Indonesia vs Argentina Live at SUGBK

Kapanlagi.com - In just a few days, the historic match between the 2022 world champions, the Argentina National Team (Timnas), and Indonesia will take place. The enthusiasm of tens of thousands of fans is already felt ahead of the FIFA Matchday event, which will take place at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK) on June 19, 2023.

This is also felt by tens of thousands of PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk or BRI customers who have the opportunity to watch the match live at the stadium. This was proven when BRI customers received the privilege of early ticket purchase on June 5, 2023.

Tens of Thousands of Tickets Sold Out

At least, more than 20,000 tickets were sold exclusively for BRI customers, including users of BRI Credit Cards and Debit Cards, as well as BRI Virtual Accounts (BRIVA), which sold out in less than 15 minutes.

Chairman of the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) Erick Thohir appreciates the enthusiasm of fans who continue to support the Garuda squad. "The sale of FIFA Match Day tickets: Indonesia vs Argentina on the first day exclusively for BRI customers sold out in 15 minutes. Thank you very much for your enthusiasm, Garuda friends," said Erick Thohir on June 5.

The number of BRI customers who will watch this match is predicted to be even higher following the opening of ticket sales for the general public two days later (June 6-7, 2023). A total of 60,000 tickets provided have already been sold.

Ticket Exchange Process Has Been Opened

As is known, the owners of these electronic tickets (e-tickets) have started exchanging them for physical tickets on June 16-19, 2023. All exchanges will take place at the GBK Multipurpose Hall from 10.00 AM to 5.00 PM and will be divided into three stages.

Starting on June 16, exchanges are reserved for category III ticket holders, then on June 17-18 for all categories reserved for Jabodetabek audiences, and finally on June 19, 2023, reserved for audiences from outside Jabodetabek.

BRI President Director Sunarso is also proud of the fans' enthusiasm in making this match a success. Because this match not only ignites the passion for national football, but also creates a significant economic impact for the community.

As is known, based on the results of research by the Institute for Development of Economics and Finance (INDEF), the Indonesia vs Argentina match is projected to generate a turnover of Rp500 billion.

Meaning, the impact of this match can improve the economy of the community, including UMKM players.

According to Sunarso, "BRI's involvement in the FIFA Match Day Indonesia vs Argentina is a form of support for national football to continue to achieve achievements on a global scale."

On the other hand, this match will provide good opportunities and potential to move the economy, including for UMKM involved in this match.
