With less than a month to go to the IPL, the news about the IPL tickets has been short coming. Only the Kolkata’s team has made some small talk about “Tickets being available on SMS”, but there has been no further updates. Why isn’t more information about the tickets available?
Some people say that it is too early, but that’s just rubbish. You can book railway tickets 2 months in advance, so why not IPL tickets? Besides, they have to sell LOTS of tickets. For example, Bangalore’s Chinnaswami Stadium can seat 55,000 people, and there’s 7 matches there. That means they have to sell 3,85,000 tickets! And that’s just in Bangalore!
I already know what’s going to happen. They are going to open up bookings on ticketpro.in at the very last minute, and then everyone is going to log on to the site to get the tickets, and the whole site is going to crash, and then everyone is going to be frustrated, and then they are going to sell the tickets at Coffee Day, and then Coffee Day is going to have a riot. Besides, how much are they going to cost? I mean, come on, I have to plan my next month’s budget!!!
Anyway, at least everything is going very well on the TV front. Sony is commanding world-cup rates for the IPL tournaments! This is unbelievable, considering that there are 59 matches, Sony is going to make a killing.
