Rollers Ponder Cheap BPL Tickets After #PackTheStadium Success :: Mmegi Online

Local football has recently failed to attract good numbers at league matches as fans continue to shun the games for various reasons. For the past seasons, only the Mascom Top 8 final has been able to attract thousands to the stadium.

However, on Saturday afternoon when Township Rollers hosted Young Africans of Tanzania in the second leg of the CAF Champions League second round, an estimated 19,000 fans thronged the 22,500-capacity National Stadium, making it the largest crowd to be pulled by any local football club.

This mainly is due to the cheaply priced tickets for the rather high profile fixture. The lowest ticket was sold at just P10 with the highest priced at P60. The prices were drastically reduced compared to 2015 when Rollers hosted Kaizer Chiefs of South Africa in the club continental competition. The lowest ticket that time was priced at P70 while the highest was P200.
