Fantastic day out with great atmosphere and unbelievable badminton
Great standard, good venue
I am giving a good rating only because I love watching my favourite players play! But the organisation of the event was bad. No food items were available within the campus for fans. No place where we could watch our favourite players and take their autographs
Amazing event , excellent results
Match viewing experience is good. No issues with that. Washrooms are clean. But there's no provision of drinking water anywhere in the entire complex. VVIPs/VIPs are having buffet lunch, dinner, are getting served coffees, water and other facilities available as well. No issues with them availing those facilities, but atleast allow the commoners to get their own water and some eatables. If that's no possible, atleast set-up a canteen and drinking water facilities.
This time management was good. Last year it was a hassle. This was a great great experience. I came & enjoyed 3 days it was super good.
The ticket is expensive shd be cheaper to enable more people to watch and the food also expensive esp the mineral water ,this is taking really taking big profits from the spectators …everyt expensive taking opportunity to harvest the poor spectators
Excellent entry - best players in the world. Disappointed in the seating allocation and lack of oversight by Axiata Staff.
the booking was fast. the QR code helps in checking in. overall good buy
The badminton court location was not shown correctly in the arena for fans to buy the proper tickets. No schedule was shown in the tickets.
We did came to the event last week. We bought the online tickets at the very last minute and since the seats are automatically choose we finger crossed we can get a best view in Block 308 (Platinum) and thankful we did! But I really hope we can choose the seat number in the future to avoid any disappointment.
1. Please do many Meet & Greet session for athlete and their fans.
2. Please do straight rules for seat. My seat another people sitting in my seat for 3 days.
4. Please include Zuss Coffee, KFC, MCD, Kenny Rogers stalls outside.
5. Ticket should be cheaper a little bit. Not everyone T20. For upper seat for season pass rm100 should be okay.
6. PMO 2022 still the best for me. Everything like setup, poster, stall, ticket price, petronas jersey, meet & greet session, final stage & final ceremony still the best.
7. Please allowed horns and trompet in the stadium like 2022-2023.
all good
Tickets purchasing was simple and easy. Entry was fast, officials were able to assist any enquiry, especially the seating location. All the booths and attractions were awesome. My only complain is the exit. You’re expecting thousands of people but only one exit point, this cause huge bottleneck. Something that the organizer should look into on how to manage exit points. That includes re-entry too.
The overall experience was good but the seats were not good. I knew nothing about the Axiata arena and the seating. I choose the most expensive tickets I could find called "superfan". Half of these tickets were good, the rows A, C, E and G. However the rows B, D, F and H were really bad since they were on the same height level as a row infront of them. This means that row A blocks B, C blocks D and so forth.
I watch the tournament from Tuesday to Saturday and ended up with bad rows all days except Saturday which really made the experience a lot worse compared to what it would have been if I got the tickets to the "good" rows.
Outstanding in all areas except view.
Attended Malaysia 1000 was a really good experience! I enjoyed it
Ticket Pricing: On the Steeper Side
Firstly, the ticket prices were quite steep. For a sport that has a massive following in Malaysia, more accessible pricing would have encouraged a larger turnout and made the event more inclusive for all badminton enthusiasts.
Exit Woes: A Single Door Dilemma
Post-match, attendees faced a significant inconvenience. The decision to open only one exit door led to a bottleneck situation, with crowds squeezing through a single point. This not only caused discomfort but also raised safety concerns. Efficient crowd management is crucial, and this was a clear oversight.
Mysterious Closure of Sections 317 - 319
A puzzling aspect was the closure of sections 317 to 319. Despite being closed, there were reports of tickets for these sections being sold, leading to speculations of unfair practices. Transparency in ticketing is key to maintaining trust among the public, and this incident certainly raised eyebrows.
Comparisons with PMO22: A Step Down in Experience
When compared to PMO22, this year's event seemed to have taken a step back, especially in terms of stage design and player-centric features. PMO22's stage was not only higher but also equipped with a lift, and the players' names were prominently displayed on a large screen, adding to the grandeur and spectator experience. These elements were sorely missed this time around.
Last-Minute Layout Changes: Unfair and Disconcerting
Lastly, the last-minute changes to the layout were a significant letdown. Such alterations can disrupt plans for spectators/fans, leading to an unfair experience for those who had strategized and planned based on the original layout.
In Conclusion
While the Malaysia Open remains a highlight for badminton fans, the organization of this year's event left several attendees feeling shortchanged. It's crucial for future events to address these issues, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for everyone who walks through the doors, celebrating the spirit of badminton in Malaysia.
Awesome
Hope to have less hours break in between as it has wasted a lot of times. Morning session only able to view 3 matches then followed by a very long break. After all, it is tough for audience like me that unable to sit until all the matches finished. Hence, long break in between is really unnecessary and wasting time
