Accra, Jan. 27, GNA
– Mr. Kurt Okraku, President of the
Ghana Football Association (GFA), has said his outfit will soon roll out
e-ticketing strategies to help facilitate the purchase of match tickets in the
Ghana Premier League (GPL).
He said the
phenomenon of queuing to buy match tickets across match centers had become a
worrying trend, which had affected the patronage of games with certain
individuals taking advantage of the loopholes to make money for themselves.
Speaking at the
press briefing in Accra on Monday, Mr. Okraku said “I didn’t enjoy seeing
lots of our countrymen waking up in the morning to queue at the Accra Sports
Stadium in their quest to buy tickets and that side alone is very worrying.
“We have received
about five proposals on e-ticketing strategy and the Executive Council would
consider these proposals and we are hopeful to implement this measure and
ensure that advanced tickets are made available,” he added.
Mr. Okraku expressed
the hope that the system of digitization would help improve the patronage of
football in the country.
