Venkatesh Prasad, a former Indian pacer, advised BCCI to treat supporters with respect and practise some "transparency" in the ticket sales process."I call on the @BCCI to not take the World Cup supporters for granted and to increase openness in the ticketing process. If the stadium's capacity is more than one lakh, then more tickets than the 8500 that have already been sold are definitely needed for the #IndvsPak match. The fans need to get a bigger portion of every other game as well. Instead of keeping a sizable portion for corporations and members, Prasad wrote, it would be more satisfying to keep the devoted fan satisfied and give them access to this chance. Tweet
