Jakarta, CNNIndonesia —

Comedian Lies Hartono or as he is known Cak Lontong made a laugh-out-loud joke at the ticket price press conference Indonesia vs Argentina.

The press conference for Indonesia vs Argentina ticket prices took place in the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium area, Senayan, Jakarta, Monday (29/5) afternoon WIB.

The media crew has filled the room to cover the announcement of ticket prices for the FIFA Matchday match against Argentina. However, the journalists were surprised by the arrival of Cak Lontong.

“I purposely came to meet Mr. Erick Thohir in person. This is a rare moment and I hope all the cameras are turned on,” said Cak Lontong who was greeted with laughter.

“I want to say that there is something that needs to be discussed seriously. It’s not that I don’t expect Argentina to come. I hope Lionel Messi makes a contribution to my life,” he added.

The man from East Java also presented a number of joke material, including mentioning that the Indonesia vs Argentina ticket could be a through ticket to watch a concert by the British band Coldplay. However, there are impossible conditions that must be met.

“The condition is that they must remain at the Senayan Main Stadium from the Indonesia vs Argentina match (June 19) until the Coldplay concert in November,” said Cak Lontong, who succeeded in making the atmosphere even more broken.

Cak Lontong, who is also used to being a stand-up comedian, joked about Indonesia’s chances against Lionel Messi and friends.

“Many are not optimistic, many also say we will lose. Football has wins and losses. Argentina thinks the same, they are also afraid of losing.”

“If the Indonesian national team loses, the risk is smaller. If Argentina loses, it will be a shame. We lose, we understand. Argentina is more worried if they lose because their immunity will drop,” he continued.

PSSI chairman Erick Thohir and the federation’s board finally entered the press conference room after Cak Lontong managed to churn the journalists’ stomachs.

Announcement of the ticket price list began. Erick revealed that ticket sales will take place starting June 5, specifically for BRI card holders. Sales to the public open on June 6-7.
