World cup 2023 preparation

This was the ticket pricing for CWC19, look at the clarity and simplicity. Above that this process started in may 18, more than a year before the tournament. pic.twitter.com/1BNkVJ6xEw

Tickets opened at 8 pm, but I remembered only around 9. Several matches were sold out, easy to book, bookmyshow didn't crash. In some cases it showed seats available but wasn't able to book for some reason. From what I heard Eng vs Aus got sold out in under 5 minutes. 

 

Ind-Aus booking will start from 8 pm, so I suggest be ready before then, you'll have a window of 1-2 minutes and also some luck might help.

Mastercard users can secure their tickets one day earlier, some special window for them, you folks can check that out. 

 

 

Thanks. Any idea of how the mastercard pre-sale works? Is there a link to it? Do we pre-register or get a code, or do we just book using a mastercard?

"We are missing" coach. He always says this We are missing Pandya, we are missing Bumrah, we are missing Rohit, we are missing KL Rahul. Never tries to say positive things like "we have depth to cover the absence".  Fans can say negative stuff. But as a coach he should not insinuate replacements are terrible. Dravid did not miss anyone when we shamefully exited from 2007 world cup

These Muffas and Johns are not getting tickets even after doing nonstop ar$e licking of BCCI for years . 

I have given up.
