The Pahang Football Association (PBNP) has decided not to raise match ticket prices although it is charged the Goods and Services Tax (GST).
Its match management committee chairman, Raja Mustafa Shah Raja Jalil Shah said PBNP president, Tengku Abdul Rahman Sultan Ahmad Shah wanted to thank loyal fans of the Pahang football team.
"The price of tickets at Darul Makmur Stadium, Kuantan will not be raised despite the implementation of GST on 1 April. PBNP will absorb the six percent tax as subsidy," he told reporters here, today.
Tickets at Darul Makmur Stadium are priced at RM12 for open area, RM15 for terrace and RM25 for grandstand seats.
Raja Mustafa Shah said the step taken by PBNP may be different from other football associations and based on their respective financial situation.
"I am told there are associations that raise the price of match tickets while some have retained them. Everyone has their own stand on this matter."
In Kota Bharu, Kelantan Football Association (KAFA) general secretary Datuk Ismail Md Nor said it has not decided on whether to impose the six percent GST on match tickets.
"Everything is still under discussion. We are studying it from various angles to see the implication of GST. The decision to be made must satisfy all parties, especially the football fans," he said when contacted by Bernama today.
Bernama had reported that the Football Association of Penang (FAP) will raise match tickets following the implementation of GST.
The new prices will come into force during the Premier League match between Penang and Johor Darul Takzim II (Johor DT II) this Friday.
Meanwhile, Local Government, Housing, Health and Environment Committee chairman Datuk Abdul Fattah Mahmood said the state government has not decided whether to raise the rental for Sultan Muhammad IV Stadium.
"We will discuss and examine the need and the law governing local authorities," he said when met after attending the State Executive Council meeting today.
