The finals happen in two parts, one on Wednesday in Indonesia, and another match on Saturday, Dec. 17, in Thailand.
The venue for Wednesday, Pakansari Stadium in West Java, has a seating capacity for 30,000 spectators, but local reports noted that many of the people who came to buy tickets failed to get any.
Liputan6says 10,000 tickets were sold within the first two hours.
Organisers reportedly tried selling tickets just a day before the match commenced, in order to prevent scalpers from having enough time to scoop up tickets for resale.
