On August 18, 2019, Gor Mahia fans showed their enthusiasm for the Super Cup match against Bandari at Kenyatta Stadium, Machakos.
Infinity Tickets, a Kenyan company, is set to revolutionize the ticketing industry in Kenya through their partnership with Gor Mahia. The company aims to take the digital market by storm with their e-ticketing system.
As part of their partnership, Infinity Tickets will handle Gor Mahia's ticketing this season, starting with the CAF Champions League preliminary round return leg tie against Burundi's Aigle Noir at Kasarani on August 18, 2019. This marks the second Kenyan Premier League club to adopt e-ticketing after Kariobangi Sharks.
Infinity Tickets' electronic system is expected to improve revenue collection and management, as well as reduce ticket forgery, a common issue at the club in recent times.
Infinity Tickets' Kodi Barth expressed concerns about security at the match venue, stating, "We have been monitoring traffic on Gor Mahia's social media pages and we know the fans are really excited with this partnership... But the only concern we have is the security at the match venue. If the police keep law and order, I am confident this project will be successful,"
However, Barth assured fans of hassle-free services, citing the integration of their system with Safaricom to improve internet connectivity around the stadium during big matches.
Gor Mahia treasurer Sally Bollo welcomed the partnership, saying, "The e-ticket is a brilliant way for us to consolidate our revenue as a club by ensuring transparent, fast and easy ways for our supporters to get their tickets from wherever they are across the country."
The VVIP tickets are retailed at Sh2,000 while the VIP and regular tickets are going for Sh500 and Sh200 respectively.
