All tickets for the T20 International match between South Africa and India on Sunday in Guwahati have been sold out, according to an official.
According to DevajitSaikia, secretary of the Assam Cricket Association (ACA), the transparent way the tickets were offered has further boosted the excitement among cricket enthusiasts.
“A packed house is anticipated. A total of 38,000 seats were available, and 21,200 of those were open to the general public. Tickets were sold online in two stages. In no time, all of the tickets were sold “he stated.
The district organizations also made another 12,000 tickets accessible to the general public, which were sold at counters. “Typically, between 40 and 50 percent of the tickets distributed to the districts remain unsold. This time, we’ve received back roughly 100 tickets, Mr. Saikia continued.
The tickets were sold transparently according to officials
The remaining tickets are given to state associations, and some are given out as complimentary passes to notable invitees and guests, he added.
The ACA Stadium in Guwahati can hold 39,500 people, but 1,500 of those are “dead seats” since they can’t see the pitch.
Since the ticket sale was entirely transparent, it was guaranteed that true fans of the game would have the chance to see their favorite players in action. They have never-before-seen levels of excitement, according to Mr. Saikia.
The game will be exciting, ACA claimed
The passion among the crowd, according to him, has increased since the previous match held there in January 2020 was postponed.
With all agencies collaborating, he said, crowd control, security, and traffic arrangements are impenetrable. Since the match day coincides with Durga Puja, he stated, “additional arrangements have been made for all aspects.”
In addition to the excitement provided by the players on the field, Mr. Saikia stated that a high-scoring contest is anticipated and that ACA is prepared.
“We have a mechanism in place for crowd entertainment. There will be DJs playing and pyrotechnics on the show. The entire game will include it.
