Was thinking of going...but need ALL details..the last thing i want is to be con to pay

Thanks

You have to pay if you want to view it from PICC. however, there are rumours that they are plannign to block road access to areas that has a good free view of the show.

Funny thing on the ticket is that it states that no video or photography allowed. This is also hearsay though. Haha i dont have a printed ticket with me.

zio: dude..u paid for the dinner package ?? Hmm thats just plain odd coz they state you can take pics and how to set up your camera but now u cant take pics.... errr....weird...

btw which day are you going ?

Actually why so many day?

I tot suppose to be 1 day every country together put and compete...

See see 1 day each.. Sigh

every country do together in one night?
where got enough space?

refer here http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/434135

not all in one night, different country different night... anyone going? i'll definitely be there. Not paying, planning to shoot from outside

Every country do 30 minutes or whatsoever mar.

What is Team Global then? 31st August & 1st September

I see no reason to pay. It's in the sky. There's no way they can block viewing areas unless they fire it off behind a hill or something. The tix probably guarantee you a "great view" but I bet you can probably see it from almost anywhere in Putrajaya (the goverment centre, not the surrounding housing).

Kinda weird how they advertise it on billboards but never mention they're selling tickets.

huh? hav to pay to shoot ?i tot the sky is free ? or is it for the location to shoot?

the sky is free, not free to watch.

i got a convoy that will goto putrajaya to find free spot and shoot...
we aint gonna pay for it..

Im travelling from Johor to attend. But not sure whether to go for the opening(Sat) or the Sunday one.

Friends of mine from LKW staying at CYBER have been scouting around for vantage points. But we are puzzled regarding the ticketing and how they plan to impose this. Fireworks will be visible from a distance and for photographers, you wouldn't want to be very near it or under it. This road closure issue is unsettling. And to add to my woes, AKONt@l will be performing that night as well(19th) and the whole place would be jam packed as the organisers for the AKONt@l concert mentioned the fireworks as one of the attractions for the concert.

Should anyone here who are cheap like me and not intenting to pay a single cent have any info or advice regarding this event, please do post here...

thaanks.....

Guys n Gals...

Thats the thing...its like a sneaky plot... COME COME see Fireworks......in small print..at $$$ only.
Also with the concern going on and certain road closures its sure gonna be jam packed not to mention getting lost coz of the reroute of traffic. sigh...

i also wont pay...heheh
my click i think got 5 of us...park near cyberjay..walk to the lake area...and shoot from there

@evirober I haven't bought my tickets yet but i will probably get the one without the tickets, if I do buy it.

And I think you can't snap pictures inside of PICC which makes buying tickets a bit redundant.

Probably going for the final show.

rediculous...charging us for the firework...sian...

is the competition held everynite ???

@jeremy the schedule is posted above man..

@hellfire8888 well, it is a competition, and they do have to cover cost. Just that the competition is in the sky doesn't mean it has to be free..

More maps on where is restricted access:
