The NSA has temporarily halted its e-ticketing service for the World Cup Qualifier between Ghana and Chad, requiring fans to buy printed tickets at the stadium. This decision follows ongoing issues with the electronic ticketing system since its inception in 2022. Ticket prices have been announced accordingly.
The National Sports Authority (NSA) of Ghana has decided to suspend the use of its e-ticketing platform for the upcoming World Cup Qualifier match against Chad on March 21, 2025. Consequently, fans attending the match at the Accra Sports Stadium will be required to purchase physical tickets at the venue instead of online e-tickets.
This marks a significant change from prior operations, as Ghana initially adopted a fully electronic ticketing system during a match against Nigeria in 2022. However, the system has encountered persistent issues such as failures in ticket verification and connectivity problems, leading to the current suspension.
Details regarding the sales points for printed tickets have yet to be disclosed by the NSA. Additionally, the ticket prices for the match vary: VVIP tickets are priced at GH₵200, VIP at GH₵150, Lower VIP at GH₵100, Osu Stand at GH₵20, and Popular Stand at GH₵10.
In conclusion, the suspension of the e-ticketing platform for the Ghana vs. Chad World Cup Qualifier indicates ongoing challenges with the electronic system. Fans will need to adjust their purchasing methods, as printed tickets will be the only available option at the stadium. This development highlights the need for improvements in ticketing technology within the National Sports Authority.
