Ken Agyapong Jnr, Co-Founder of Afrochella , has revealed that the Ghanaian company entrusted to create tickets for the 2022 Afrochella concert covertly printed fake ones.
He said that, in addition to their original blue, purple, and yellow tickets, there were other orange tickets in the public that he claimed were fake.
Although he declined to give the identity of the Ghanaian who was hired to print the tickets, he was positive that the company was to blame for last year’s concert’s fake tickets.
He stated on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM on Tuesday, 11th January, 2023, that some individuals purchased tickets but were unable to attend the concert because their tickets were not authentic.

“Our tickets were in three different kinds, blue, purple and yellow but all of a sudden there was an orange one.
“So people were complaining online that they didn’t get in They didn’t get in because their tickets were fake.”
“And it’s so sad to say this but the reason why there was a fake ticket was that we used a Ghanaian to print it and he also did some,” he added.
The Co-founder further stated that he knows the fake tickets were printed by their Ghanaian contractor because they have never had an incident of fake tickets since printing from outside Ghana.
“…..because usually, we print the tickets outside, but we said let’s do a hundred percent Ghanaian, and because we gave the job to a Ghanaian, he printed his own ticket to sell,” he said.
Meanwhile, he indicated that last year’s Afrochella will not be the last, as his co-founder Abdul Abdullah stated on the last day of the event at Accra’s El-Wak stadium.
He stated that the event will be renamed ‘AfroFuture’ in 2023.
Last year’s Afrochella was held on December 28 and 29 at El Wak Stadium in Accra. Kidi, Medikal, Ayra Starr, DJ Juls, and DJ Loft performed during the two-day music festival.
