The season passes for Sarawak FA home matches in 2015 are now on sale. Our checks on the online shop reveal that the sales of the season passes have been activated with no price changes detected.
Those interested to buy the grandstand C tickets would need to pay RM730 for their season passes, those preferring the roof terrace would need to pay RM530, and those interested to buy the open terrace would need to fork out RM330. The additional RM30 for each season pass would be for handling and online transaction fees. The season passes would allow one entry into all matches including friendly games, just like last season.
As per last year, TiketPanas.com had also put a reminder that the passes are only for Sarawakians, making the identification via their MyKad number.
The move will however disappoint Sarawakians born in other Malaysian states as they would not bear such number, and therefore be unable to purchase the season tickets.
It is our hope that the management of TiketPanas.com and the Sarawak FA would therefore change the method of identifying Sarawakians and non-Sarawakians as our checks with the registration department have revealed that the number 13, 50, 51, 52 or 53 in the center of MyKads is not a reflection of if someone is a Sarawakian or not, but rather only proof they were born in Sarawak. The real indication of if one is a Sarawakian is theletter ‘K’ located in the MyKad.
UPDATE on 29 Jan 2015:
TiketPanas.com has quietly omitted the blanket rule reserving the season tickets for Sarawakians only. Read about it here.
