World Cup 2011

[Aaku]

India Vs Holland. Dilli ! :yay: :((

Timely bump Anyone have any idea on the tickets?

[Gunner_Mania]

I am looking for tickets too. I doubt thought if I will travel what with me going to India later this year. No info yet on the official website about tickets. http://icc-cricket.yahoo.net/events_and_awards/CWC/venue.php

What time is the WC? April/May? Well, If Gordon Brown govt. thinks 33 degrees C and 60% humidity is called a ‘heat-wave’, I think you should come prepared for what you’d probably call a ‘blaze wave’… 40 degree and 85% humidity. We have propa’ summers down there mate, not the phony ones you fellas have north of the Tropic of Cancer or whatever. :D

It is in Feb/Mar. You will never have a UK winter in Chennai, but it will probably be hotter than the UK summer. It will be around the 28-33 with the ever present humidity.

Hopefully The problem we have at the moment is we want to see India vs England @ Kolkotta (27th Feb), main reason is to experience that atmosphere. After that the next India game we want to watch is India vs SA (12th March), so there is a 2 week gap of nothing there. I don't mind spending it in India its just getting time off work. If I want to see the England game I need 5 weeks off work which is gonna be extremely difficult. I miss that game, then only need 3 weeks off.

I watched the CSK-DD match yesterday and watching the players struggle like that, I am actually frightened now

[Gunner_Mania]

I watched the CSK-DD match yesterday and watching the players struggle like that' date=' I am actually frightened now [/quote'] The WC is in the back end of Feb and early March and not April/May as Marirs said. Not that it is going to make a huge difference, but the temperatures will be a few degrees cooler than it is now. As Sunny said on commentary, Feb/March will be the beginning of Summer while April/ May will be head on summer. As a rule of thumb, PJ - Chennai has three types of weather, hot, hotter, hottest. Jan-Mar will be hotter while Apr-June/July will be hottest, while the rest can be classified as hot:P

[Sachinism]

The match at Chennai is on 20th March or something just in time for the hottest season :((

[Holysmoke]

I'll be there for the final.

[Sachinism]

I'll be there for the final.

Holy whats the best way to go about getting tickets for the matches?

Holy whats the best way to go about getting tickets for the matches?

become a VIP. :haha: Actually, the best way would be to buy them online as soon as they are available. For example, the IPL final tickets became available on april 4th.. and they were sold out in a day or so.

[Sachinism]

As Gunner_Mania said a minimum of 5% of the tickets will be available online, maximum is probably about 10%. Gonna be mad difficult to get, will have to take a day off work to sit and book tickets

[Holysmoke]

As Gunner_Mania said a minimum of 5% of the tickets will be available online' date=' maximum is probably about 10%. Gonna be mad difficult to get, will have to take a day off work to sit and book tickets[/quote'] No dude.. all tickets are available online. You can even select your own seat. (Similar to what they have abroad.. see view from the seat, and select individual seats..)

Thats what the website says. I hope they're all available online

[Gunner_Mania]

No dude.. all tickets are available online. You can even select your own seat. (Similar to what they have abroad.. see view from the seat' date=' and select individual seats..)[/quote'] Seriously..You think all tickets will be available online? This is the BCCI who head the World Cup committee. They are as far from technology as the sky is from earth. The 5% that ICC have said at the mo is probably part of what the ICC has said should be available for international boards. Sachinism - your best bet, other than the ICC site I think would be to ask one of the ICFers in India to help get tickets.

[gaurav92]

Will be going for the finals for sure.
