Tickets for Hyderabad T20 go on sale today

Hyderabad: Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) administrators have gone in for technological innovation in their bid to put together a fool-proof security to stop the menace of fake tickets and duplications, a bane that has won it notoriety and the officials constantly being under the scanner.
HCA secretary T Shesh Narayan averred at a press conference here on Friday that they were taking all precautionary measures to ensure that there would be no hanky-panky with regard to sale of tickets for the third T20 between India and Australia, which will be hosted at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium (RGICS) here on October 13.
A major forward-looking decision taken by the Association has been the creation of Telangana Cricket Development Fund (TCDF) that is aimed at development of the sport in the interiors. The revenue for the corpus fund would be raised by way of levy on complimentary ticket-holders, which, incidentally, has been restricted to around 23 percent, thanks to Lodha reforms that hang like the Damocles Sword.
In what should come as music to the ears of all those who are sitting on the edge because of non-receipt of payments, including salaries, Shesh Narayan stated that they had received Rs 1.35 crore from the BCCI to settle all outstanding bills. He was categorical that all pending bills would be settled in due course.
Meanwhile, he said that tickets have been priced in denominations of varying ranges-Rs 840, including convenience surcharge), Rs 1050, Rs 1575, Rs 5209, Rs 7782 and Rs 12950. In addition to across-the-counter sale at the stadium, tickets will be available at eventsnow.com, which successfully bid for the exclusive rights. The highly-secured tickets will be available online from 11am on Saturday.
