MBABANE – The Premier League of Eswatini (PLE) has announced that match
tickets will be sold at the gates this week to address complaints raised by
fans.
The Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Pat Vilakati, confirmed this
yesterday, stating that there will be no prepaid sale of tickets for this
weekend’s MTN League matches. “They have had concerns such as the sales
centres not being close to the stadiums, but we are looking at ways to bring
them closer. We would like to thank MTN Eswatini, who has assisted us in ticket
sales so far, as some of the ticket point centres were their outlets,” said
Vilakati.
Some of the concerns from fans included tickets being sold far from the stadium
and a technical issue during the Mbabane derby. The biggest derby match tickets
were sold at E50, but a few tickets were also sold at E30 causing much confusion
among football lovers. Furthermore, in a statement released on Thursday, the PLE
said, “Tickets will be sold at the gates at all venues. We request fans to
ensure a smooth and efficient process, minimising queues and delays,” reads
part of the statement. The current sales agent for the organisation is
Nomakunini, which was given a trial before any agreement could be reached.
