Cuttack expecting full house for second ODI
Cuttack: After India's thrilling 14-run victory over the
West Indies in Nagpur, Orissa Cricket Association is expecting a full house for
the second game of the series here on Wednesday with booking counters
registering brisk sale of tickets.
"More than 75 per cent tickets have already been exhausted. Tickets will
be sold till tomorrow. But we feel that the stands may be full today
itself," OCA Joint Secretary Satya Mohanty told sources.
The Barabati Stadium has a capacity of around 35,000. But keeping the security
requirements in mind, the organisers have decided to keep the maximum footfall
to 31,000.
Mohanty said the OCA has printed 22,950 priced tickets of the denominations of
Rs 4,000, Rs 1,500, Rs 500 and Rs 400 for the public. Besides, some tickets of
Rs 200 valuation have been kept for its various affiliated units. The rest were
being distributed as complimentary passes.
"All upper denomination tickets are exhausted. Only some tickets worth Rs
500 and Rs 400 are left," he said, as serpentine queues were seen outside
the ticket counters.
