Nairobi Sevens, the opening leg of the World Rugby Sevens Division II scheduled for February 14 and 15 at Nyayo National Stadium, Nairobi, has sold out.
Odundo, who is also the tournament director, advised anybody without a ticket not to bother coming to Nyayo Stadium.
Odundo said they had earlier indicated they would sell tickets at the gate, but the response to the ticket sale online was overwhelming.
He revealed that offers for bulk purchase, with a pack of seven going for Sh 2,100 and a pack of 12 going for Sh3,600 also contributed to the quick sale. Regular tickets were going for Sh500 (advance) and Sh700 (at the gate).
