Going by the numbers that attended Mesach Semakula’s concert at Kampala Serena Victoria Hall last Friday, he now ranks among the few who have so far filled the venue.
Reliable information we received is that by 3pm, 1,400 ordinary tickets had been sold with only a few remaining at the entrance. A day before the event, it was announced that the VIP tables were sold out and our source revealed that they had to change seating arrangement to accommodate 20 more tables from 50 to 70.
There were some scenes at the main entrance and security had to be reinforced to restore order as some people had lost patience and were forcing their way inside the hall while others were being arrested for possessing fake tickets.
