Fans hoping to watch Bayern Munich take on AFC Ajax Amsterdam in Nairobi may have to pay more for tickets after the first sales phase sold out, with organisers preparing to introduce a higher-priced category.
Sports Cabinet Secretary Salim Mvurya said the next batch of tickets would move to a higher price tier, although the revised rates and number of available tickets are yet to be announced.
Speaking about the sales, Mvurya said the initial allocation attracted a strong response, with all the tickets released on November 5 purchased by fans.
“We are happy that there was a very big response, and we’ll be announcing the next tranche very soon; we’ll be moving up the ladder. So we’ll be announcing to Kenyans when they can buy the next tier of the tickets,” he said.
The CS explained that the first category had the lowest prices, meaning the next phase would see a slight increase.
He added that organisers would announce the new prices and the number of tickets available to help fans plan for the next sale.
“This one was the lowest, so we expect a small mark-up, but we’ll be talking about it at the right time,” he added.

The announcement follows the sell-out of the first phase, which comprised 15,000 tickets, according to Talanta Sports City.
The tickets were released on November 5, with prices ranging from KSh2,500 to KSh20,000, alongside premium hospitality packages.
The three lowest-priced categories, going for KSh2,500, KSh3,500 and KSh5,000, were reportedly sold out within about three hours of the opening of sales.
Talanta Sports City confirmed the complete sell-out of Phase One on November 10, while assuring fans that more tickets would be made available.
“The overwhelming response to Phase One is a testament to Kenya’s passion for football and the excitement building ahead of the historic FC Bayern Munich vs AFC Ajax Amsterdam clash,” organisers said.
“Only Phase One has sold out. More tickets will be released in subsequent phases.”
The phased ticketing arrangement allows fans to choose from different seating categories, with online buyers permitted to select their preferred seats. Each order is limited to a maximum of 10 tickets.
