Ticket Prices Released For Bangladesh Tour as Cricket Kenya Look For Sponsors

Ticket prices for the three One Dayers against Bangladesh have been announced, and are a most economical for those who want to watch all three matches.
.
Prices are as follows:
.
Season tickets adults ksh 1,200 and Children/students ksh 600
.
Daily tickets adults ksh 500 and children/students ksh 200
.
This will be a great chance to see some fantastic cricket being played, and I would encourage anyone on Nairobi to get down to Nairobi Gymkhana ground and support the team. I certainly wish I could be there. Hopefully plenty of school children will get to watch the matches. If neccesary, Cricket Kenya should look at allowing a limited number of school age children in at a further reduced price to encourage interest in the sport.
.
Cricket Kenya are also looking for corporate sponsors for the Series Brochure.
Rates are:
Full page A5 size : ksh 20,000
.
Half page : ksh 12,000
.
Inside cover : ksh 30,000
.
This would be a fantastic opportunity for forward thinking businesses to get on the World Cup bandwagon early. There will be plenty of interest from Bangladesh, so any companies with interests that way should also grab the chance.
.
Finally, there is the chance for corporate sponsors of the 20 Tents and stands. These are available at Nairobi Gymkhana grounds, where the matches will be held at ksh75,000 per stand for 40 people. Again a great opportunity for local businesses to get exposure to new markets.
.
Hopefully these opportunities will be taken by the local corporate community. It will be a good gauge of the future waters to see how much corporate sponsorship can be raised for this series. With lots more home games to come over the next year, a good relationship with sponsors could be very beneficial for Cricket Kenya, and hence the development of the game.
