Next step: fall back to good old proven method to make people attend: hand out cash afterwards.

What a shame the money isn't spent on education.
Re: FREE Tickets to SEA Games Events for All Cambodians
They seem mighty worried that there won't be any spectators to be seen. How about serving free snacks (and beers lol) on top of that free entry?

Isn't this why the schools have been ordered shut?
Seriously, who wants to sit in a stadium in this heat and direct sunshine watching a bunch of foreigners running around in circles?

Are tickets available to be purchased at the stadium or are they going to release some half working app? Nothing like spending an hour just to purchase tickets.

Free tickets to a great sports event? Excellent!
I'll see if I can get my partner to take the kids to some stuff.
An international sports event in a state-of-the-art arena is not something kids who've grown up here get to witness.

If anyone is planning to go to the opening ceremony: you have to be there 3 hours before due to security reasons (basically, the Big Man will show up).
