Events in Kisumu

Buying tickets in Kisumu

Tickets are sold directly by the organizer through SoldOutAfrica, so the price you see on the listing is the price you pay. Choose your ticket type, enter the phone number you want the ticket sent to, and confirm the M-Pesa prompt. Card and other mobile money options are available on every event as well.

Your ticket arrives as a QR code by SMS and email. At the gate in Kisumu the organizer scans it once and it is marked used, so a forwarded screenshot will not get a second person in. If an event is postponed or cancelled the organizer contacts every buyer through the platform.

Is it safe to pay for tickets online in Kisumu?
