BANGALORE: If after the India-England tie and Ireland's shock defeat of England, you had suddenly woken up and thought of queuing for a ticket to Sunday's game between India and Ireland, don't bother. "All tickets for the game are sold out," declared Javagal Srinath, the KSCA secretary, on Thursday. "The tickets went on sale from February 18 to 28 and are all gone," he added.
The former India pacer explained exactly where the tickets, all 39,221 of them, went. "With the chairs in the major portion of the gallery being removed, the capacity has gone up to 39,221 (from 38,000). Of this 31% were sold across our counters as well some other retail outlets. A further 21% were sold online, making it 52% for the public," he said.
Going by the stated figures, the KSCA has sold nearly 20,000 tickets to the public, up from the 7,000-odd they had said were sold for the India-England game. Those were the numbers sold at the counters, with online sales not being made public either by the KSCA or the online agency.
The remaining tickets for the India-Ireland game were accounted for by Srinath as follows: Clubs: 10%, corporate sales: 14%, ICC (free of cost tickets): 4%, ICC (option to buy tickets): 6%, BCCI / KSCA invitees: 13%, other state associations: 1%.
