Pepsi IPL tickets all the rage in UAE Over 40,000 tickets sold online in first 3 days

MEDIA RELEASE The imminent Pepsi IPL 2014 has captured the imagination of cricket-lovers in the United Arab Emirates. Followers of the sport are in the process of securing their tickets for the matches being played in the UAE, in April 2014. Almost 40,000 tickets have been purchased online, since the sales began on Thursday, 3 April 2014. 20,000 of these were snapped up within an hour of going live. "This is a remarkable start. The sale of tickets off the field will be complemented by some exhilarating cricket on the field, in the fifteen days from 16 April 2014 to 30 April 2014," Ranjib Biswal, Chairman, Governing Council, IPL, said. Chief Executive of the Emirates Cricket Board, David East, feels that those who have not yet bought tickets should get online to make their purchase before the sold-out signs are displayed. “It’s pleasing to see the way online ticket sales have sold for the United Arab Emirates leg of the Pepsi IPL 2014. Apart from the cricket fans, the interest of cricket is growing among the people in the UAE. This is evident from the number of tickets sold on the very first day. The spectators will come in huge numbers to support and savour the IPL," East said. Tickets are available online on www.iplt20.com and www.ticketmaster.ae. They will be available at selected Lulu Hypermarkets in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah, from Monday, 7 April 2014. The Lulu Hypermarkets outlets where tickets will be available, are as follows: Dubai (four) Al Barsha Al Qusais Al Karama Arabian Centre Sharjah (three) Al Wahda Al Nahda Mai Saloon Abu Dhabi (seven) Al Wahda Mall Khalidiya Mall Mushrif Mall Madinat Zayed Capital Mall Al Raha Mall Mazyad Centre Stadium box-office sales will start on Thursday, 10 April 2014.

In Dubai, a ticket for one match will start at AED30, and AED50 for double-headers. In Sharjah, tickets will start at UED30 for a single match, and AED40 for the double-headers. Sanjay Patel Hony.

I am not exactly sure, why is this a big deal? 40,000 Tickets for like 20 or 25 games in UAE. That accounts to less that 2000 per game. Not sure what are you all excited about ?

40,000 online tickets in 3 days is a big deal IMO. If on an average a weekday IPL match attracts a crowd of 5000 and the weekend matches have 10,000+, IPL in UAE will be a huge huge success. Unlike Indian stadiums, each of these stadiums has a capacity of max 19-20000 and even for Pak international games , don't think they see jam packed stands barring the grass banks.

1) who names a store lulu

M.A. Yousuf Ali from Nattika, Kerala does.

2) what the hell is a hypermarket ?

In commerce, a hypermarket is a superstore combining a supermarket and a department store . The result is an expansive retail facility carrying a wide range of products under one roof, including full groceries lines and general merchandise. In theory, hypermarkets allow customers to satisfy all their routine shopping needs in one trip.
