“What we are saying is that we gave people ample time to buy tickets using the current pricing system, which is $25 for the VVIP, $15 for the VIP and $10 for the ordinary tickets, now it is unfortunate that they will have to fork out more if they want to come and be part of the ceremony,” said Nkala.
With these developments, it means the ordinary ticket will now cost $20, VIP; $30 and VVIP; $50.

He said they were excited by the buzz the awards were creating in the city saying they were confident that they would have a sold out show.
Tickets to the prestigious arts awards event are being sold at Boom City along 8th Avenue between George Silundika and Robert Mugabe Way and Entertainment Headquarters between Leopold Takawira and 6th Avenue along George Silundika.
