India vs Sri Lanka: MCA set to increase ticket prices by 10 to 15% for the T20I match at Wankhede

The
decision
over
the
same
was
taken
during
the
MCA’s
Apex
Council
meeting
on
December
9.
The
last
time
a
T20I
was
played
at
Wankhede
was
back
in
December
2019
when
India
hosted
West
Indies.

Ticket
prices
to
be
inflated

As
per
a
Times
of
India
report,
the
increased
fare
will
be
applied
to
the
tickets
available
for
sale
to
the
public,
while
the
subsidized
rates
are
expected
to
remain
the
same.

“With
costs
having
gone
up,
the
budget
for
organizing
a
T20I
has
increased
since
then,
so
we
felt
a
need
to
increase
the
ticket
prices
for
the
public
slightly.
The
(subsidized)
ticket
prices
for
the
MCA’s
clubs
and
donors
(7,000)
will
remain
the
same,”
a
source
was
quoted
by
TOI.

Meanwhile,
the
MCA
has
also
invited
‘Expressions
of
interest
(EOI)’ for
sponsorship
of
its
women’s
cricket
tournaments
and
summer
vacation
camps.

Team

The
opening

of
the
three-match

between
the

the

In
Blue.
Team

will

The

India
with
