MOHALI: Tickets for the semi-final match of the ongoing Cricket World Cup at PCA Stadium in Mohali are selling like hot cakes and securing one for yourself after hours of standing in a queue can prove to be a real pain in the butt. However, if you are willing to shell out almost double the printed price of the general stand ticket, you are sure to run into someone or the other who would be willing to sell their ticket to you for a handsome profit.
Tuesday witnessed a maddening rush of people heading towards PCA Stadium to land tickets which were up for sale at gates 4 and 14 of the stadium. Barring a handful of women who were queued up for tickets, nearly 600 men, of all ages and backgrounds, stood in line for nearly three hours in the hopes of landing a ticket for the much-anticipated match.
Suraj Kant, a resident of Sector 34, said, "I came here with three of my friends and we brought bottles of water and a few sandwiches, which we consumed while standing in line. Luckily for us, two of my fiends were able to land tickets for the students block. As my other friend and I turned back to walk away, making plans to come back earlier tomorrow, a person called us over and offered to buy two students block tickets for Rs 200 each, while offering us four tickets of the general stand for Rs 1,000 each."
Jitender Singh, a resident of Phase IV, said, "Although the ticket price was raised five times to Rs 500 from Rs 100 in the earlier matches, yet Rs 500 is nothing compared to being able to sit in the match and watch the action live while experiencing how a capacity crowd behaves. We were fortunate to meet a person who was able to sell us five tickets for the general stand. He took Rs 1,000 each for the tickets."
