Barabati T20: Cricket fans resent errors in online tickets; OCA promises smooth match

Cuttack: A few hours before the much awaited India-Sri Lanka T20 match, errors in online tickets have created resentment among the frenzied game lovers. The online tickets reportedly do not have seat numbers mentioned neither bear the signature of Cuttack DCP.

The tickets which were sold at the counter bear the authorised signature and proper seat numbers. "But the on-line tickets have no mention of seat number. We are confused whether these tickets are valid or fake. What should we do if we are not allowed to the stadium," a cricket fan from Bolangir questioned.

On the other hand, Odisha Cricket Association (OCA) has assured the viewers of hasslefree arrangements. "Some tickets have no seat number and signature. This is an inadvertent mistake. But, we will never disappoint the ticket buyers. They all will be allowed to enjoy the match," OCA working committee chairman Dhiren Palai said.
