The management of MFM FC moments ago announced the increase in the ticket fee to watch the club side play alongside Ifeanyi Ubah FC in their 22nd game in the Nigerian Professional Football League on Sunday, June 4th.
In a statement signed by the Management on Friday and made available to BlackBox Nigeria, it was stated that the measure was as a result of the teeming supporters that usually storm the Agege Stadium to show support for the two club sides.
According to the statement, VIP tickets initially sold for N500 will be sold N1,000 while the regular ticket which normally sells for N200 will go for N500 on Sunday. But, for fans who have the authentic jersey of the home club (MFM FC), they are to enjoy by maintaining the old prices.
A source who is familiar with happenings at the Soccer Temple, Agege revealed to BBN that the ticket fees were not only increased to curb the number of fans, but to cut down the possibilities of breakdown of law and order as some fans usually go haywire any time these two club sides clash.

The V.I.P ticket will be sold for N1000. Any fan or supporter of MFM FC who will come to the Stadium wearing the team’s jersey will pay N500 to sit in the V.I.P stand. Our fans who prefer to sit in the regular stand will either pay N200 wearing our jerseys or N500 without the club’s replica.
