Amount in Kenyan Shillings George Ruto Likely Paid to Watch PSG vs Barcelona in Paris

George, son of President William Ruto, attended the Champions League fixture between Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, and shared videos and photographs on his Instagram Stories. His exact ticket price is unknown.

Judging by the view in his posts, he appeared to sit in the middle section of the stadium, where resale tickets were reportedly selling for €600 to €850, or roughly Ksh87,000 to Ksh124,000. That puts the likely spend between Ksh80,000 and Ksh130,000.

Other sections show how wide the range could have been. Upper-section seats were going for about €500, or Ksh73,000. Premium seats near the players’ tunnel and the front rows reportedly cost €1,000 to €1,300, which is more than Ksh145,000. By my arithmetic, the conversions imply a rate of about Ksh145 to the euro.

Because the photographs cannot prove what he paid, the figures rest on seating position and resale prices alone. Face-value prices, hospitality packages or a complimentary seat would change the picture entirely.

The match itself gave fans plenty to talk about. PSG won 4-2, ending Barcelona’s run of 11 straight wins at the start of the 2026/27 season. Désiré Doué put the hosts ahead in the 38th minute, and Barcelona’s Xavi Espart levelled on his Champions League debut.

Lucas Hernández restored PSG’s lead with a header before teenager Lamine Yamal struck back with an individual goal in the 79th minute. Late goals from Vitinha and Fabián Ruiz sealed the result and handed Barcelona their first defeat of the season.

George’s posts captured the atmosphere: players gathered around the Champions League logo at the centre of the pitch, home fans celebrating under red flares, and banners reading “Fiers de nos couleurs”, meaning “Proud of our colours”.

He also posted the final score. A photograph of Yamal, set to The Weeknd’s “Starboy”, suggested the Barcelona forward was among the players who caught his eye despite the loss.
