Solomon Islands 2023 (Sol2023) Pacific Games organisers have called for public to act fast to secure tickets for the multi-sport event.

The tickets for Sol2023 went on sale earlier this month, following an official launch at Our Telekom's Point Cruz office, with Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare the first to purchase them.

According to ticketing revenue supervisor Mike Vereseni, tickets for the Opening Ceremony is the most purchased and in demand.

Vereseni has urged fans to act fast to "avoid disappointment" due to the limited availability for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies.  

"So, to avoid disappointment, don’t delay or wait until the last minute," Vereseni said.

"Family members and individuals who intend to purchase tickets should do so earlier.

"We forecast that Opening Ceremony tickets will run out soon based on the purchase rate and demand."
