Ticket sales for the IPL matches in Chennai began on a brisk
note on Wednesday.
Ticket sales for IPL-VI matches at the M.A. Chidambaram
Stadium commenced here on Wednesday afternoon after the Tamil Nadu
Cricket Association (TNCA) gave a written assurance to the city police
that no Sri Lankan cricketer would figure in the matches here.
After
the undertaking — which was asked for by the city police in the morning
even as long queues waited outside the stadium gates for tickets — was
provided by the TNCA, the selling of tickets got underway. Chennai Super
Kings (CSK) takes on Mumbai Indians in the first match at Chepauk on
April 6. In all, ten matches will be played here including eight league
games.
The stadium has a capacity of 37,000 of which around 20 per cent is already being sold online.
“We
expect the ticket sales to be brisk. CSK is a popular team and has a
tremendous record in the competition. It has also been very successful
at Chepauk,” said a TNCA official.
He added the
spectators in Chennai wanted more cricketing action after the Indian
team’s sweeping 4-0 Test series triumph over Australia with CSK stars
captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Ravichandran Ashwin, Murali Vijay and
Ravindra Jadeja playing a big role in the victory.
