Badminton was first played in Malaysia way back in the early 19th century, so it’s no surprise it is one of the most popular sports in the country; the game has a huge fan-base, and Malaysia is one of the most successful nations in Olympic badminton history. As a result, professional events within Malaysia are well-attended - and the Petronas Malaysia Open is no exception.
As a Badminton World Federation (BWF) Super 750 event, the Malaysia Open is among the top 10 events on the BWF World Tour, and consistently offers plenty of prize money and ranking points to the best badminton players in the world. After the 2020 and 2021 editions of the Malaysia Open were cancelled due to the Coronavirus pandemic, excitement has been building ahead of the 2022 tournament, which will return to the nation’s capital, Kuala Lumpur, between 28 June and 3 July.
This year’s venue, the Axiata Arena, will house up to 4 courts at once, and matches across all 5 draws – men's singles and doubles, women’s singles and doubles, and mixed doubles – will take place across all 6 days of the knock-out tournament. With the news that tickets are now on sale, fans can choose their seating category, and start looking forward to seeing their favourite players compete! Day tickets, which allow holders to see an entire day’s play, start from RM 25 (USD $5.71) in the Upper Tier, whilst seats positioned closer to the courts – such as those in the Super Fan category – start from RM 160 ($36.54).
Season tickets are also available this year, allowing fans to enjoy every single minute of this prestigious event. Season ticket prices start from RM 180 ($41.11) in the Upper Tier category, but fans can also pay up to RM 1,600 ($365.38) to have some of the best views, all week long! Whether you want a whole week of action, or just fancy popping down for the day, with so many price points on offer there’s no reason you shouldn’t grab a ticket and make a racket, at this year’s Malaysia Open!
