AFC Leopards treasurer Oliver Napali has asked leopards fans to embrace the e-ticketing system currently being used by the 13 times champions.
Leopards so far has embarked on an ambitious plan where all its home matches are only accessible by members purchasing online tickets prior to the days match. As such no physical tickets are available during matchdays.
During Afc vs Shabana which was played at the Ulinzi Complex in Langata, the systems experienced minor hiccups but Ingwe management has soldiered on employing the same during the mashemeji derby.
Speaking at the club head offices at Upperhill Nairobi, the club treasurer said that the system was the way to go for it sealed all the possible loophopes and coutioned the club against loss of revenue as has been the case in the past.
“When I assumed office as the club’s treasurer, I promised members that I will put in place measures that will ensure no single shilling by the club shall be misused or stolen. The e-ticketing approach is unpopular with those who have been accessing our home matches for free or using some dubious means to print fake tickets hence denying the club the much needed revenue. I want to assure them that We shall remain unbowed in ensuring that the club’s revenue streams are uncompromised’ Napali said.
Napali received a rare approval rating from a section of the fans. One Sitawa wrote.
I knew the fight against E-ticketing was because loopholes had been sealed.

Ngalia huyu jamaa wa City hall akitishia NEC.
Yaani when others, including Ingwe real legends pay for match tickets Iko wanaume pale City hall wanataka waingie game saree!
And even force to be stewards Ndio waokote hizo ma 50/100 waingize watu. Khu khwanyakhana.
I wish after Eticketing, the Club will think of hiring a private security firm instead of stewards. Iko kujuana na kuzoena mob.
The treasurer was reacting to reports in a section of social media where disgruntled members were calling for his resignation due to what he termed as his firm approach when it comes to dealing with how matters finance are handled.
Napali further has assured Ingwe fraternity that there exists no bad blood between him and other Nec Members as has been widely claimed.
united nec led by Chairman Shikanda, SG Andugu and treasurer Napali.
“The reports that NEC is divided are untrue and unfounded. Those peddling these baseless lies are enemies of our club. Yes it is true we have not been posting good results and this calls for unity of purpose for things to turn around. There is no need of pointing fingers but we must pull together as a united family” he added.
