The Premier League Board on Thursday threw away a request by Accra Hearts of Oak not to print complimentary tickets for the Super Clash encounter with Asante Kotoko.

The Phobians made a formal request to the PLB not to issue complimentary cards for the game saying they need to cash in on the big game.

But the Premier League Board, led by Ashford Tetteh Oku rejected the request insisting the regulations of the Ghana FA do not allow that.

Hearts of Oak were therefore tasked to issue the number of complimentary tickets required for the various stakeholders for the game.

Hearts will take on Kotoko in the biggest game of the season at the Accra Sports Stadium on Monday.
