(I want that many will watch and can experience the Sinulog, the ticket price of P1,500 and P1,000 are for early birds only, and wait for the announcement, we will cut it by 50 percent.)
The discounted rates apply to tickets priced at P1,500 for General Admission-Green and P1,000 for General Admission-Yellow.
Revenue loss concerns addressed
Moreover, Garcia addressed concerns about potential revenue loss, explaining the thought process behind the decision.
“Naay nangutana nako, ‘Di malugi ang Cebu City ana? Ang (Sinulog) Foundation, kay mao man ang mangolekta ana?’ Kahibaw ka unsay akong tubag? Last year man gali, wala man gani miy halin didto sa SRP, duha na ka tuig zero. Gipahatag nalang namo ang ticket wa gihapoy nangadto…. So, I’m sure we will make more money now compared to last year,” the mayor stated.
(There are those who asked, Will the Cebu City government experience a loss in revenues for this? The (Sinulog) Foundation, because that is the one who collects this? You know what my answer to this is? Last year, we even did not have any sales there at the SRP, two years we did not have sales. We just gave away the tickets and still nobocy went…So, I’m sure we will make more money now compared to last year.)
The 2025 edition of Sinulog is expected to be grander and more festive, with organizers banking on a surge in public enthusiasm and participation through this discounted early bird initiative.
