#NSTviral: Khairul Aming draws jokes after F1 ticket struggle at Sepang

Popular content creator Khairul Aming, better known as Rembayung, shared on Threads his struggles to secure tickets for the Formula One race at Sepang International Circuit in October. He recounted falling asleep while queuing online for the Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix tickets only to wake up and find they had sold out. After repeatedly refreshing the page, he eventually managed to secure four Main Grandstand tickets.

However, followers quickly chimed in with their own experiences trying to book Rembayung. Many users echoed the frustration, with one user stating, "That's exactly what we feel every time we try to book Rembayung — fully booked." Another user added, "Serves you right. Taste what we taste." While some responses were brief, others drew parallels to their own experiences trying to purchase Rembayung's products, recalling failed attempts to buy his sambal due to sold-out items.

Youth and Sports Minister Dr Taufiq Johari later announced that Madani tickets for the Formula 1 race had sold out due to high demand, with prices ranging from RM200 for the G Hillstand option to more expensive categories. The Formula One return to Malaysia, marking the first since 2017, will take place at Sepang International Circuit from October 2-4.
