The Jakarta Fair 2022 Formal Opened, Visitors Complained Of Expensive Ticket Prices and Inadequate Facilities

Pekan Raya Jakarta (PRJ) or Jakarta Fair is the largest annual exhibition event in Southeast Asia. Although called "week", this exhibition usually lasts for a whole month from June to July to commemorate the anniversary of the city of Jakarta.
Jakarta Fair or PRJ is an annual event that is regularly held to enliven the anniversary of the City of Jakarta. However, the last two years the Jakarta Fair was not held due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The presence of the Jakarta Fair / PRJ in 2022 feels special because it is finally being held again after two years of absence due to the pandemic that hit the country. In 2022, the Jakarta Fair or PRJ will again be held at the Jakarta International Expo Arena, Kemayoran, Central Jakarta.

One of the visitors, Kezia (22) admitted that she was happy that the Jakarta Fair 2022 would be held again. According to her, this PRJ event was the first after two years that it was not held more lively than the previous years. However, he regrets that this year's ticket price is quite expensive, which makes some people unable to enjoy this event. 

There are two types of Jakarta Fair / PRJ 2022 tickets that visitors can buy, namely without a concert or with a concert. Jakarta Fair / PRJ 2022 tickets with concerts are of course priced at a higher price. In addition, the Jakarta Fair / PRJ 2022 ticket prices also vary depending on the selected day. If you choose a weekend, then visitors have to spend more money.

Following are the ticket prices for the Jakarta Fair / PJR 2022 entry in Kemayoran: 

Jakarta Fair / PRJ 2022 Entrance Ticket Without Concert. Monday: IDR 30,000, Tuesday - Thursday: IDR 40,000, Friday - Sunday: IDR 50,000 

Bundling Entrance Ticket with Jakarta Fair / PRJ 2022 Concert. Monday: IDR 60,000, Tuesday - Thursday: IDR 70,000, Friday - Sunday: IDR 100,000

Inside the Jakarta Fair, there are thousands of booths consisting of the provincial government, provincial and district pavilions, business-scale BUMN, UMK and cooperatives from all over Indonesia. The booth also exhibits various types, garments, lifestyle, cosmetics, telecommunications, health, sports, medicine, medicine, foodcorr, automotive, culinary, playground, Betawi village and others.

In addition to the expensive entrance ticket, it turns out that parking rates also apply a fixed price, which is Rp. 30,000 per vehicle for one entry. This rate is too expensive.

But at that price, according to visitors, the condition of the parking area is very uncomfortable, open, and dusty. In addition, PRJ management should be able to measure the maximum capacity of PRJ area and parking area.

One of the visitors, Arkan (21) "visitors continue to be accepted into the PRJ area so it is very difficult to find a parking area, and the PRJ area is very crowded, there are no restrictions on entering the PRJ" he said.

According to him, this is very inconvenient, while consumers have already paid for very expensive parking and expensive entrance tickets.

In addition to the expensive parking and ticket prices, the facilities provided are also not very adequate, related to the social facilities in the PRJ area, the number of toilets and prayer rooms is also inadequate. Lack of markings that give visitors directions to the location of toilets and prayer rooms.
