The Premier League of Eswatini (PLE) has issued a stern warning to football fans after several individuals were caught with counterfeit tickets at recent matches. Some of those found with fake tickets have already been arrested, prompting the league to call for immediate caution.
The incidents have raised concern over growing ticket fraud at match venues across the country. As a result, the PLE is urging all supporters to ensure they buy their tickets only from authorised MTN ticket outlets.
Fake ticket holders will not be allowed entry into the stadiums and will face legal action.
Fans are reminded that official ticket outlets are spread across all regions. In the Hhohho region, authorised points include Engen Gcwalisa and King Pie at the Mbabane Bus Rank, MTN E-Top Up at New Mall, Mitra Filling Station in Buhleni, MTN E-Top Up in Piggs Peak, Total Filling Station next to EPH in Ezulwini, and MTN E-Top Up Woodlands.
In Manzini, tickets can be purchased at Engen Nazarene, Puma opposite GV Centre, Bhunu Mall, MTN Connect Shop at Cardo Square, and two Matsapha locations—MTN E-Top Up at Matsapha Lifestyle and MTN Connect Shop at Varsity Corner.
For the Lubombo region, fans can find tickets at Matata, Simunye, Siteki, Mpaka, Mhlume (PickYours), and Sikhuphe—all at MTN E-Top Up spots.
In Shiselweni, the two official outlets in Nhlangano are located next to Boxer and opposite Shoprite.
Tickets for single header fixtures cost E30, while double header games go for E50.
The PLE, along with its official sponsor MTN Eswatini, is calling on all fans to protect the integrity of the game by avoiding illegal ticket sources.
