There is a good 20' date='000 members at the MCC/etc. Generally 90,000 has to involve a match a lot of these members care about. My guess would be 78,000-85,000 max[/quote'] 20,000 members? Didn't realize they are that many. In that case, I guess there are only about 70,000 tickets for general public. MCG twitter account says they are expecting around 80,000, so you may be right. Still a huge crowd though.

The only match that will reach the 90k plus is the final and ONLY if Australia make it

in FSK delhi' date='almost15k-20k(maybe more) are for pass holders,administrators and top officials[/quote'] Its same everywhere...In Bangalore only 15k tickets are given to General public.

The capacity was 48' date='000 for that match. 53,500 is the highest capacity of Adelaide Oval. In cricket the sight screens take up a lot of space.[/quote'] What I heard was that the capacity was increased to 62,000 for the match. Either way, I don't expect to see 90,000 fans for an India-South Africa game in Melbourne.

Yeah, somehow this doesnt seem right. 90,000 people for a game which doesnt feature the home side sounds massively exaggerated. I guess we will find out on the day.

For cricket it is about 48,000. Check MCG's twitter account. They are explaining how it is 90,000 at MCG for this world cup instead of 100,000 maximum. The same thing applies to Adelaide Oval as well.

That newly relaid pitch was horrible. MCG pitches is better these days. We scored 267 against Aus in tri-series there.

Happens for a lot of big tournaments. After the tournament, the capacity is downsized to suit the normal requirements of the stadium.

There nothing like the MCG at full capacity, best ground in the world by miles, sadly we don't get to see it that often as the MCC members get guaranteed seats to all but 2 events, one being the commonwealth games and the other the cricket WC, and sadly 5000 or so MCC members fail to turn up meaning sell outs rarely happen. AFL games often attract 90k and are considered sell outs because of this problem.

Depends how many members show up
Members have already had their chance to buy tickets, any unsold have been available to the general public for 2 weeks.

It seats around 103k
Not for cricket. According to MCG twitter 90,000 is the maximum capacity for the world cup. They might release some more seats for the final.
