The executives of Ratchadamnern and Lumpini muaythai stadiums are considering raising ticket prices.

Ratchadamnern chief Prai Panyaluck has reportedly approached the executives of Lumpini for a deal to have both stadiums raise the ringside ticket price to 2,500 Baht starting on October 1.

On Lumpini’s part, its executives earlier proposed to raise the price up to 3,000 Baht but the plan has not been finalized. The decision may be delayed for some time due to the upcoming annual military reshuffle which may end up appointing a new chief to the army-owned Lumpini Stadium, replacing Major General Tera Kripanon.

The last time the ticket price was changed, it went up double, from 1,000 Baht to 2,000 Baht. The increase, however, seemed to be acceptable to the fans who sympathized with the stadiums’ rising costs.

The stadiums claim that the increase of the price would not affect the foreign tourists, the main target of the ringside tickets, as most of them are one-time visitors who do not care much about the price changes.
