Fans on Thursday queued in vain for tickets for Saturday’s 2015 Africa Cup qualifier between Zambia and Mozambique set for Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola.
The tickets were supposed to go on sale on Thursday morning in selected post offices on the Copperbelt and Lusaka.
In Kitwe, by 12h00, the Main Post Office had not started selling the tickets.
Fans formed long and meandering as early as 06h00.
“We are disappointed with FAZ over the manner in which they are handling the sale of tickets. Imagine we came here around 06h00 but FAZ is yet to start selling tickets,” said one fan.
“FAZ should decentralize the sale of tickets to all parts of the country as opposed to selling in few towns,” another fan added.
Last year, a fan was shot and wounded in Ndola as police tried to control the crowd at one of the selling points.
The gate charges are as follows:
VIP – K500
West Lower Deck – K150.00
West Upper Deck – K100.00
East Upper Deck – K50.00
East Lower Deck – K50.00
North Upper Deck – K20.00
North Lower Deck – K20.00
South Upper Deck – K20.00
South Lower Deck – K20.00
I dont understand why us Zambians are backwards in all things we do. In other countries tickets are sold even one month before the game to basically allow soccer fans have enough time to buy tickets and not to panic. This also allows FAZ to check which outlet has run out of tickets and where they can transfer tickets from one outlet to the other.This should be done country wide. Can someone tell me if this idea needs someone to have a Degree in order to think like this. This 50 years celebration is just in vain with no change in thinking.
Post offices,Spar and shoprite can be used as selling points just like South Africa uses Spar to allow fans have more outlets.We are a FOOL.ISH nation.
Yes we are a FULISH nation
