Ticket Mystery and Excitement for Cricket Fans

The excitement of the World Cup is no longer confined to the মাঠ. With ticket sales for the semi-finals and final now underway, fans are experiencing a mix of anticipation and nervous excitement. Supporters are calculating their chances of securing tickets to watch their favorite teams in action, although there is still no guarantee of getting a seat.

The first semi-final will be held on March 4, followed by the second semi-final the next day, and the grand final on March 8. Although ticket sales have begun, the final venues for the first semi-final and the final have not yet been confirmed. The potential venues for the first semi-final are R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo and Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The second semi-final will definitely take place at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. As for the final, if Pakistan qualify, the match will be held in Colombo; otherwise, it will be staged in Ahmedabad.

There are certain conditions regarding venue selection. Pakistan will play in the first semi-final if they qualify for the last four. If Pakistan fail to qualify but Sri Lanka advance and face a team other than India, the match will be held in Colombo. However, if none of these conditions are met, or if India face Sri Lanka, the first semi-final will take place in Kolkata. The venue for the final will also depend on specific conditions.

To ease concerns for fans, the ICC has introduced a refund policy. If the first semi-final or the final does not take place at the venue for which a ticket was purchased, the full ticket price will be refunded. This means fans will not lose their money even if the match is moved to another venue.

In this way, the excitement of the World Cup remains alive beyond the stadium. Fans are carefully planning by keeping an eye on possible match timings and venues. The calculations around tickets and the complexity of conditions have added an extra layer of thrill to the global cricket festival.
