Twenty20 tickets selling like hot cakes

[King]

The total number of tickets sold for the inaugural ICC Twenty20 World Championships in South Africa is fast closing in on 50 000. More...

Not bad. It's unfortunate similar upsurge in ticket sales wasn't seen for the just concluded world cup

Cricket seems to be surprisingly popular in South Africa.. Didnt know they had such a huge cricket culture..

[King]

South Africa has fantastic sports culture. They love their sports. Cricket, Rugby are all followed quite closely by the Saffies. I have heaps of Saffie mates and they are a good bunch. They love their sport and everyone seems to know to play golf.

Its funny how cricket is popular in certain countries and absolutely unknown in others.. I think cricket is the only game which has such extreme patterns in fan following.. Maybe 20/20 is the ICC's attempt to make the sport more global...

Yes.. true to an extent.. But , even in nations that do not play rugby , they ATLEAST know that there is a sport called rugby. I bet people in 3/4 of americas and many countries in europe havent even heard the name cricket..

i really hope 20/20 takes off. times for sanity with respect to a single match's duration in cricket.

its all about money honey ..!!! ticket prices are Rs 57. ( indian currency ) now any one can buy tickets at this price.... and WC matches were priced exorbitantly high..

It was obvious to everyone that the tactics used by either the West INdies/ICC were not good for the average fan in the windies. They were priced at high prices for the overseas fans. Wrong tactics that!
