Tickets sale for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 matches in Bangladesh have been delayed by a day and will now start from January 2, 2011 across the country.
It was a belated realization from the authority concerned that Saturday is a weekly holiday and all the banks will be closed on the day.
Tickets will be available at fifteen City Bank and thirty Agrani Bank branches all over the country and one individual can buy only two tickets per match.
“It will be better if someone can show his National Identity Card or any other kind of identity card when purchasing tickets but it’s not mandatory. But one has to give the proper information if he doesn’t carry any identity card,” said Ali Ahsan Babu, host tournament director.
He also informed that they have yet to decide on when the tickets will go on sale for the opening ceremony which will be take place at the Bangabandhu National Stadium on February 17 next year.
Only twelve to thirteen thousands tickets will be available for the 25,000-capacity Bangabandhu National Stadium as more than half the tickets for the opening ceremony will be reserved for dignitaries.
A total of six matches including two quarterfinals will take place at Mirpur while the remaining two games will be held in Chittagong and practice matches will take place at Fatullah.
