Watch World Cup matches for only RM1
IF YOU think that RM1 cannot get you anything substantial, think again. Maxis has announced its Astro World Cup match passes that lets users view any match for just RM1 per game.
On top of that, users will also receive free data to stream the match on their mobile.
“Every four years, football fans come together to cheer on their favourite teams at the single biggest sporting event in the world. Maxis is excited to bring the World Cup to more Malaysians than ever before with Astro World Cup match passes. Whether you’re at home or travelling back to your hometowns for Raya, Malaysians have more choices on how to keep up with all the action and latest matches, together with family and friends,” said Maxis consumer business head Dushyan Vaithiyanathan.
The free data will be activated three hours before the game begins, and users will receive an SMS to notify them of the free data activation, as well as when it expires.
All Maxis, Hotlink and Hotlink Flex users are eligible to buy the pass to watch any World Cup match, and they can purchase passes for as many games as they like.
To get the pass, users need to go to their Maxis, Hotlink Red or Hotlink Flex apps, and select the match before confirming purchase. They will receive a coupon code on the app, as well as via an SMS, which can be used to view the match on the Astro Go app or Astro Go web portal.
Maxis states that users will only be charged upon receiving the coupon and not at the point of purchase. For Hotlink prepaid users, credit will be deducted from their account upon receiving the coupon code.
If a purchase is not successful, the user will be notified via SMS. Passes can be purchased in advance, and sales for each match will also stop three hours before the game begins.
So better hurry if you want to catch Sweden vs South Korea (8pm), Belgium vs Panama (11pm) or Tunisia vs England (2am) later tonight.
The pass is valid for the duration of the purchased game, which includes pre-match, match time and highlights.
However, the Maxis Astro World Cup match passes are not applicable outside of Malaysia. For more information, visit www. maxis.com.my/bolaraya.
