The price is considered too expensive. In fact, said Sandiaga, DKI has released the tax on Asian Games tickets. According to him, DKI has exonerated 100 percent tax. It is based on Local Regulation No. 6 of 2010 on the general provisions of regional taxes
The law allows tax exemptions or 100 percent deductions based on the principle of justice. Unfortunately, even though the ticket tax has been released, ticket prices remain high.
Sandiaga is worried that if the ticket price is high, it will be calm. Therefore, DKI plans to mobilize students so that they come to the site to make the Asian Games more alive. "If the ticket price is the decision of Inasgoc, but we are looking for a way to be affordable for the citizens of Jakarta," he said:
