In an unexpected turn of events, tickets for the highly anticipated India-Australia cricket match scheduled for tomorrow at the IS Bindra Cricket Stadium in Mohali have not found buyers, even with a generous buy one-get one free offer extended by the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA).
This unique offer, which began yesterday and still stands today, has yet to entice fans to purchase tickets. Instead, cricket enthusiasts have taken to the streets of Chandigarh to capture selfies with the players, creating a buzz around the match that isn't reflected in ticket sales.
While the stadium ticket counter is an obvious place to grab your tickets, the PCA has gone the extra mile this time. You can also purchase your tickets at ICICI Bank, making it more convenient for fans to secure their spots at the stadium.
Although student tickets priced at Rs 100 have been quickly sold out, higher-priced tickets, including those at Rs 1,000 and Rs 5,000, remain available. The PCA's buy one-get one free deal applies to tickets valued at Rs 3,000, Rs 10,000, and Rs 20,000, but the response from fans has been unexpectedly tepid. Official figures on remaining ticket availability are yet to be disclosed by the PCA.
Despite the slow ticket sales, the anticipation for this clash between cricket giants India and Australia remains high with notable players in action and the introduction of a shuttle bus service to enhance the spectator experience. Cricket enthusiasts still have time to seize this buy one-get one opportunity and secure their spots at the IS Bindra Cricket Stadium for what should be an unforgettable match.
