Hearts announce rates for Kotoko clash

Accra, June 8, GNA - Accra Hearts of Oak Sporting Club has announced rates for their Week 22 Glo Premier League clash against their archrivals Kumasi Asante Kotoko on Sunday, June 14 at the Ohene Djan Stadium, Accra.

Ashford Tettey-Oku, Administrative Manager of the League leaders in a statement copied to GNA Sports said the rates were reached after successful discussions with the Premier League Board (PLB). He said that the Popular Stand will attract 4 Ghana Cedis, Centre Line - 6 Ghana Cedis, VIP Lower - 10 Ghana Cedis and VIP Upper - 15 Ghana Cedis.

Mr Tettey-Oku said that gates will open at 0900 on the match day, adding that since the encounter is a 'category A match' the Club has put in place stringent measures including maximum security to ensure a successful and incident-free match. He added that numbering of tickets corresponding to the numbers on the seats will be strictly enforced. "Accordingly, there will be no free admission as no identification cards will be entertained.

"For emphasis, the only form of admission would be the approved National Sports Council (NSC) Complimentary cards, Match Tickets and Media Accreditation issued by the Ghana Football association (GFA) and title sponsors, Globacom," he concluded. Hearts beat Kotoko 2-1 in the first round meet between the two sides at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi last February. 08 June 09
