The tickets are currently sold at various outlets at E50 each.
This was revealed by Premier League of Eswatini football Manager Pat Vilakati when giving updates on the tournament ticket sales.
“We have already sold over 4,000 tickets since we started retailing them. We urge members of the public and fans to purchase the tickets in numbers within the stipulated outlets. We have also added Malkerns SaveRite as a new pay point to accommodate fans between the Malkerns – Mankayane corridor,” he said.
The two teams will battle it out for the E1.4 million first prize money plus a ticket to the 2024 CAF Confederation Cup.

Both sides have previously tasted glory in the tournament, with Swallows boasting of treble success, while the Correctional Services side is the current titleholder, having won the last edition in 2020.
Sunday festivities will also include the culture final, and the national spectacle will be live on Supersport and Eswatini TV.
This is also going to be a tricky test for ‘Inyoka Eluhlaza’ as they will face their former coach Caleb Ngwenya, who guided them to their first title four years ago at the same venue.
Swallows booked their place to the last hurdle with a resounding 3-0 win over rivals Mbabane Highlanders while Green Mamba outsmarted Young Buffaloes with a 3-2 win at the same venue.
