Ticket Drama as Kenya Prepares to Face DR Congo in CHAN Opener at Kasarani
Just days after CHAN organizers announced that tickets for Kenya’s highly anticipated opener against DR Congo were sold out, a wave of controversy has emerged over how fans will access the game at Kasarani Stadium.
Reports indicate that several businessmen and politicians are now calling on Kenyans to show up in large numbers, promising to distribute free tickets at the gates in what appears to be a last-minute mobilization effort.
The move has sparked mixed reactions, especially as a section of the public has begun reselling tickets at inflated prices.
Originally priced at KSh 200, the match tickets are now reportedly being resold for as much as KSh 500 each.
A growing number of Kenyans, especially online, are admitting they plan to take advantage of the ticket scarcity to make a quick profit.
Kenya is set to host DR Congo at the Kasarani Stadium on 3rd August, and all eyes will be on how CHAN organizers and authorities manage crowd control, security, and access amid the ongoing ticketing chaos.
