‘Tell me the price in Bitcoin’ – Fans react as Eden Garden ticket rates get announced for India vs South Africa ODI World Cup 2023 clash
India are set to host the 13th edition of the ODI World Cup in October and November later this year. This will be the first time India will host the tournament entirely. The grand event will kick off on October 5 with the 2019 finalists New Zealand and England clashing against each other at the Narendra Modi Stadium in the opening match.
Meanwhile, the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) has announced the ticket prices for the India vs South Africa clash in the ODI World Cup at the iconic Eden Gardens. The legendary Eden Gardens will now host a total of 5 matches, including the second semi-final, after only managing to host two matches at the 2011 World Cup. On November 5, India will play South Africa, Pakistan and Bangladesh will each play two matches and a semi-final game will be played in Kolkata.
India vs South Africa and Semi-final matches:
Upper Tiers: INR 900
D H blocks: INR 1500
C K blocks: INR 2500
B L blocks: INR 3000
Fans are waiting for India vs Pakistan
The schedule for the upcoming mega event was announced last month, and the venues and dates were revealed in the schedule. However, there were some stadiums that didn’t get a single ODI World Cup match to host. The much-awaited contest between the arch-rivals India and Pakistan will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on October 15.
However, fans can witness both teams clashing twice in the tournament if both somehow qualify for the semi-finals. The contest will take place at the Eden Gardens which will make the clash more memorable. Talking about the final match, it will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium on November 19.
Through the apex cricket body’s Cricket World Cup website and well-known online ticketing services like BookMyShow, fans from around the world may pre-order their tickets. Additionally, PayTM insiders and PayTM will offer their respective services. Additionally, there would be a small number of offline ticket slots.
