On Wednesday, the Press Trust of India (PTI) news agency reported that tickets for India and Pakistan clash in the World Cup on October 14 in Ahmedabad, India were sold out within an hour after the ticket fellow of the International Cricket Council (ICC) opened its only pre-sale window.
While there will be another round of ticket sales for the Pakistan and India contest on September 3, there is a possibility that there will be a total sell-out within hours, like it occurred on Tuesday for all the Mastercard holders.
It hasn’t been confirmed yet how many tickets were placed online during the pre-sale window for all Indian games and the warm-up matches but it has been realized that, after the sales opened at 6:00 pm (IST), within an hour, all tickets on the day were finished.
The website ‘Book My Show’ set a “Sold Out” caption on the Pakistan game, which wasn’t the matter for the other eight Indian matches.
BCCI source privy to the development told PTI that today it was only for those who held a Mastercard (credit or debit, local and international), Only two tickets per person were allotted and innately, the tickets put on pre-sale were carried by fans within an hour.
However it is anticipated that another round will occur on September 3, The finest part is that Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium has a 132,000 audience capacity, so a good number of the tickets could be set on sale on September 3, it added.
