‘Aise halat me World Cup host karenge kya’ – Twitter reacts as mismanagement in Ahmedabad creates chaos among fans for IPL 2023 Qualifier 2 and final tickets

The Indian Cricket Board seemed to have failed to manage the ticketing process at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad for Qualifier 2 and the final match. The mismanagement by the Board has created so much chaos outside the stadium when the fans were trying to get the tickets for the upcoming matches of the tournament, which led to a stampede outside the venue for the summit clash

There was no official announcement regarding the online tickets, but the people who booked online tickets had to show a QR code at the box office to collect the hard copy of the ticket. For that purpose, the Box Office window was kept open on May 25th, Thursday, from 11 am to 6 pm, just a day before the Qualifier between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians.

Hundreds of people gathered outside the stadium to collect the tickets, which led to a Police intervention to manage the crowd. This led to a lot of chaos as fans rushed to the stadium in huge numbers, and had to wait for their turn in the scorching heat.

As per the official notice, tickets cannot be collected on the match day, which means that Box Office will be open again on May 27th (a day before the final) for the people to get the hard copies of their tickets. As Narendra Modi Stadium is the largest cricket in the world with a capacity of over one lakh spectators, the similar scene is likely to happen again on Saturday.
