Prices of tickets for Super Eagles matches slated for the
Stephen Keshi Stadium in Asaba on Friday and Tuesday have been increased, the
Delta Government announced on Wednesday.
The State
Commissioner for Information, Patrick Ukah who announced this at a news
conference in Asaba said the new rates were introduced to enhance crowd
management.
He said the crowd
of football fans who thronged the stadium to watch matches was always huge and
there was a need to effectively control the situation.
“The Stephen Keshi Stadium will now have new
gate fees. The VIP box is now N10,000 with lots of refreshment and
entertainment for ticket-holders.
“The covered stand
will now go for N3,000, while the popular stand still remains N1,000,” Ukah
said.
Before the new rates,
the VIP stand was usually free for those who were allowed in with invitation
cards.
These were usually
the State Governor and his entourage, as well as other dignitaries as may be
determined by the match hosts.
The covered stand
used to go for N2,000.00.
NAN reports that
the Super Eagles will on Friday host the Pirates of Seychelles in their final
game of the qualifiers for the 2019 Africa Cup of nations (AFCON).
They will also take
on the Pharaohs of Egypt in a friendly encounter at the same venue on Tuesday.
