More Super Eight tickets on sale

There are good news for cricket fans as they can now get from the public ticketing pool more tickets for the Super Eight stage of the World Cup in Barbados.

The release of these tickets for the matches between April 11 and April 21 in Barbados is primarily the result of returns from the event's contractual obligations, inclusive of Official Travel Agents (OTAs) worldwide who are licensed to sell tour and travel packages for the tournament; Official Hospitality Agents (OHAs), who are licensed to sell hospitality packages and event sponsors, who have an option to buy a number of tickets per match.

"There has always been a high demand for the Barbados matches. Fewer public tickets were available for those games. What we have seen over the past month is a number of tickets being released for sale to cricket fans," said Stephen Price, commercial director of the World Cup.

He said that a number of tickets were reserved by the sponsors who had the option to purchase them for use in promotional or other activities.

To ensure that the cricket enthusiasts now have an opportunity to get these tickets, the World Cup organisers are releasing them into public ticketing pool.

"In the world of mega events like the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics, late returns to the public ticketing pool are the norms. This affords fans a last-minute opportunity to get their hands on tickets that were not previously available for purchase," said Price. (IANS)
