The anticipation for the upcoming T20 cricket match between India and Australia is skyrocketing in Raipur, Chhattisgarh’s capital. Scheduled to be held at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Stadium on December 1st, the match will witness a practice session on November 30th. Notably, stringent security protocols have been put in place to safeguard the cricketers throughout their journey from the hotel to the stadium.
Despite the relatively high ticket rates, the fervor among cricket enthusiasts has resulted in significant ticket sales. For those who opted for online bookings, physical ticket counters were inaugurated at the Indoor Stadium in Raipur yesterday, facilitating the collection of tickets by the public.
However, the inaugural day saw chaos due to a limited number of operational counters. The ticket agency commenced operations with only four counters—two designated for student tickets and the remaining two for general ticket holders. This resulted in extensive queues and prolonged waiting periods, inconveniencing many eager cricket aficionados who had to endure hours of waiting to acquire their tickets.
