“Do Not Pay” Talanta Sports City Exposes 3 Fake Websites Selling Bayern vs Ajax Tickets

Football fans hoping to watch Bayern Munich take on Ajax in Nairobi are being urged to watch out for fraudsters.

Talanta Sports City has warned the public against fake websites attempting to sell tickets for the upcoming FC Bayern Munich versus AFC Ajax match.

In a notice on Wednesday, November 11, the facility cautioned fans against making payments or sharing personal information through unauthorised platforms, and urged supporters to verify ticketing platforms before buying.

“Fraudulent websites are attempting to sell fake tickets for the historic FC Bayern Munich vs AFC Ajax Amsterdam match on 5th January 2027,” the notice read.

It named three sites as unauthorised: talantasportsciity.com, talantasportcity.com and talantasportscity.online.

“Do not purchase tickets or share your personal and payment details through them,” it said.

The only official platform is TalantaSportsCity.com, the facility stressed.

It also noted that Phase One tickets are sold out, with additional tickets to be released in subsequent phases through official channels.

Tickets for the friendly went on sale on November 5, with prices starting at Sh2,500, and the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports said they would be sold exclusively through the official Talanta Sports City website.

The match will inaugurate the 60,000-seater Raila Odinga International Stadium at Talanta Sports City.

Demand has been high: organisers described the response to Phase One as overwhelming.

With demand this high, the facility’s advice is simple: check the web address carefully and buy only through official channels.

The warning comes days after detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) arrested a man accused of conning a woman of Ksh130,000 in an online accommodation scam targeting holidaymakers heading to the Coast.

Police say the suspect was arrested in Bamburi by Nyali Sub-County detectives and remains in custody ahead of arraignment.

The DCI has advised the public to verify properties, confirm a host’s legitimacy and think twice before making suspicious payments.

The two cases carry the same lesson ahead of the festive season: verify before you pay, and use only official channels.

Anyone who paid through the flagged sites should report to police.
