“What happened in Hyderabad is really unfortunate and should not happen anywhere. As the offline ticket sale will start from Oct 6 for three days, we have requested the Ranchi administration to provide us with extra security forces till the match is over. Tickets will be sold across 6 to 8 ticket counters and there will be different counters for females,” he said.
Moreover, one person shall be eligible to buy only three tickets and it will be mandatory for the buyer to produce a copy of his/her Aadhaar Card while purchasing the tickets. Keeping in mind the convenience of people the Association has decided to sell tickets online through the web portal www.insider.in as well.
