By TikoHUB Kenya | 06 Oct 2025 | Opinion

Kenya’s event scene is buzzing with music festivals, concerts, sports, theatre, and cultural gatherings, but waiting too long to buy tickets can cost you! Early-bird tickets offer the best deals, but they sell out fast. So, how can you secure your spot at the lowest price? Here’s your ultimate guide.

1. Follow Event Organizers and Ticketing Platforms

Most early-bird ticket sales are announced on social media and official websites. Follow:

• Event organizers (e.g., Midnight Vibez, Blankets & Wine, Koroga Festival, Africa Nouveau).

• Ticketing platforms, i.e., TikoHUB

• Influencers who promote exclusive pre-sale deals.

2. Subscribe to Newsletters and Alerts

Sign up for newsletters from ticketing sites to get exclusive early-bird access before the public. Some platforms even offer promo codes and flash discounts to subscribers.

3. Buy During the First 24-48 Hours

Most early-bird tickets are released in phases, and the first batch is always the most affordable. Set reminders for event announcements and purchase within the first 48 hours to get the best price.

4. Use Promo Codes and Discount Offers

Some events offer discount codes for early buyers or group purchases. Look for:

• Influencer giveaways

• Credit card promotions (some banks partner with ticketing sites)

• Membership perks for loyal customers

5. Join VIP or Loyalty Programs

Some event platforms and brands reward frequent buyers with priority access. If you attend events often, check if your favorite ticketing site has a loyalty program to access early-bird sales before the general public.

6. Plan and Mark Calendar Dates

Most big events have a yearly schedule (e.g., KITFest, Driftwood 7, Impala Floodlights, MidnightVibez, Tusker OktobaFest, Nairobi Pizza Festival). Research past dates and expect ticket sales to drop around the same time each year. Mark your calendar to stay ahead.

Scoring early-bird tickets in Kenya is all about speed, strategy, and staying informed. Follow these steps, and you’ll never miss out on the best deals again!
