Ahead of his massive concert on Saturday, Beta Cinta Indonesia (I Love Indonesia), Guruh Sukarno Putra said that he had sold 95 percent of the tickets.
Guruh said he had prepared 5,000 tickets priced from Rp 350,000 (US$39.55) to Rp 1 million for three days of shows. "Almost all the tickets have been booked. Tickets for Sunday's performance have been already sold out," he said as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.
Beta Cinta Indonesia will mark the 40th anniversary of Guruh's contribution to the performing arts in Indonesia.
Guruh said that his latest show would also contain satire about President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Comedian Butet Kertaradjasa would play the President, Guruh added.
In response to rampant corrupt in the country, Guruh said he had prepared several special songs.
"I wrote the songs in the 1980s, but I just expected that such practices would increase," he said.

Liverpool's Steven Gerrard had doubts he would return from injury
(BBC, 19 October 11 09:02 GMT)

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has admitted to being concerned whether he would return from injury during the "hardest six months of my career".
Gerrard, 31, scored against Manchester United on Saturday in his first start since groin surgery in March.
Asked if he feared for his career, Gerrard said: "I think it's only natural you have doubts and different things do cross your mind.
"There were times when I was as low as I've ever been as a footballer."
Gerrard said that before the operation he needed injections to get through games.
"Basically, I knew that wasn't right," he added.
"I was missing training sessions and coming in the day before a game trying to get that last session in or having injections to play the next day.
"You can only do that for a certain amount of time before your body gives in - and mine gave in.
"My groin packed in on me and, when it happened, I was down and I was low.
"I knew it was going to be a serious one, something I wasn't used to. I had to try to be positive but I will admit that I was down."
Gerrard had expected to return for the start of the season but caught an infection related to the groin injury in July. He was admitted to hospital for further treatment.
"When it [the injury] happened, it took time before I got back into a positive frame of mind," Gerrard said. "Without doubt the last six months have been the hardest of my career."
