President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is keeping to his promise that he will watch the 2010 Asean Football Federation (AFF) Cup semifinal match between Indonesia and the Philippines tonight at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium.

Indonesian Soccer Association (PSSI) secretary-general Nugraha Besoes confirmed the information.

“The President bought 400 VVIP tickets,” he said as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.

A VVIP ticket costs Rp 500,000 (US$55.5), meaning that Yudhoyono spent Rp 200 million to attend the match.

The match's organizer has raised the ticket price for the West VIP section from Rp 205,000 to Rp 350,000. Tickets for the East VIP section also rose from Rp 150,000 to Rp 250,000 while tickets for other seating categories increased from Rp 25,000 to Rp 50,000.
