Getting cricket ticket - terrible mix-up

by **peeping tom** » Thu Nov 13, 2003 8:43 pm

It is most unfortunate that there has been a terrible confusion in distributing the cricket tickets for the highly deciding day-night match on Saturday. I went to Lal Bahadur Stadium 10 days back. There was no hint about getting the ticket. Every person moving around wore a constipated look. Finally somebody told me that tickets will be issued from UCO Bank branches from 11th November. I eagerly expected advertisements in National English dailies. To the best of my knowledge, there was no advertisement in the newspapers. I hurriedly went in to the website of UCO bank. Alas, I couldn\'t find any info regarding even the location of the branches in the twin cities. Because of my duty schedules, I could not approach the bank in the day time. Finally I went to the M G Road branch and enquired at the ATM counter. One guy told me that the tickets are issued from the S D road branch. I crisscrossed to S D road. I couldn\'t find the branch. Finally, after one hour of petrol consumption, I realised that the concerned bank is actually situated in S P Road below the flyover. There I saw a small hand-written paper saying that only 1000 + 200 tickets will be available, from 1030hrs on the 13th of November. Finally I have started my attempts in black market. DEFINITELY I WILL GET THE TICKET TOMMORROW. I feel very sad that the Hyderabad Cricket Association is fingering the public so nicely without any valid reason.

Is there any gaurantee that you\'ll be allowed into the stadium even with a valid ticket?
 During the last match, thousands of people with valid tickets were denied entry! Obviously, fake ticket printers worked full time and sold thousands of tickets ofcourse with the full knowledge of HCA.
 Anyway, good luck in ur endeavour.

 Thank God

****Cricket fans pay to get beaten up by police***
 
 Hundreds of fans were seen standing outside with tickets in their hands, while the stadium was filled beyond its 22,000 capacity much before the match started.

yes learner, the meaning is this. Mr Naidoo is 1000 times better than Mr Lalloo.

y do u compare someone/something with shit and be happy!! u will remain where u are or even degrade when u compare in such a way. when it comes to progress, u should think in the other direction/forward. Can we say \"we are better than central Africa\" and forget abt development activities in India !!
