Football enthusiasts have voiced their dissatisfaction with the ticket prices set by the Super League of Malawi (SULOM) for the much anticipated TNM Super League clash between Silver Strikers FC and FCB Nyasa Big Bullets. The match is scheduled to take place on November 23, at Silver Stadium.
According to SULOM, tickets for the open stand have been priced at K7, 000, while VIP stand tickets are set at K15, 000.
The pricing has sparked debate on social media, with many fans expressing their concerns.
Some have suggested that SULOM might be using these prices to regulate attendance, given the match’s significant implications for the league standings.
In response to these concerns, SULOM General Secretary Donnex Chilonga clarified that ticket pricing is not solely determined by SULOM but also involves the stadium owners.
He speculated that the decision might be influenced by the limited capacity of Silver Stadium, aimed at managing crowd numbers.
“I will provide more detailed information after consulting Silver Strikers to see if any adjustments can be made,” Chilonga stated.
Silver Strikers are currently leading the TNM Super League table with 57 points, while Mighty Wanderers FC follow closely in second place with 53 points.
This fixture is expected to play a significant role in shaping the league’s outcome.
