Mad rush for RTP Award tickets

At long last, the much awaited ticket for RTP Awards has arrived from South Africa for sale towards the forthcoming awards night on 5th December, 2013 at the International Conference Center AICC.

Asked why the tickets were printed all the way from South Africa, Founder of RTP Awards Mr. Prince Mackay said “as a Ghanaian who believe in Ghana and made in Ghana products and services, the wisest thing to do is to have manufactured the tickets here.”

“Past experiences sometimes forces all of us to take certain decisions. The truth is, we once hired a Ghanaian company to print the tickets here in Ghana. Unfortunately, the very company we contracted to print the tickets was the very one that clandestinely printed the same RTP Awards tickets and sold to patrons at our expense.”

Ending, Mr. Mackay revealed: the tickets come with many security features and was manufactured by a very reputable company in South Africa. That company manufactured the tickets for the recent past Rihaana concert in South Africa.”

‘Damages’ goes for - GHC 100 for VIP and GHC 50 for Regular. Ticket venues are; Peace fm, Joy fm, Rainbow radio, Baatsona Total, Tema Community 11 shell filling station, Koala and Silverbird. Signals picking from the ticket venues indicates that patrons are grabbing their tickets at an alarming rate.

When one female fan who gave her name as Vanessa Dadson was asked why the rush for a ticket she intimated “I think it’s time we stop our typical Ghanaian late hour rush for event tickets. I’ve come to realize it’s a very bad character.”

The award proper comes off on 5th December, 2013 at the Accra International Conference Center AICC at 7:00 pm. The headline artiste for the event is the evergreen Abrantie Amakye Dede and other artistes such as: Cecilia Marfo, Paapa Yankson, Tutulapatu, and Herty BornGreat.
