Ticket Sales
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced that the ticket sales have not yet commenced for the India vs. West Indies T20I matches being hosted by the BCCI on August 27 and 28, 2016 in the United States of America.
The BCCI will make a formal public announcement upon the release of the tickets and will also notify the identity of the official ticketing partner for online and box office ticket sales once determined. Members of the public and cricket patrons are requested to await these announcements before purchasing or ordering tickets for these matches and, further, are cautioned against buying or placing orders from any unofficial sources either online or at the box office.
The BCCI takes the issue of counterfeit ticketing and sales by unauthorised ticket agents extremely seriously. Tickets purchased or ordered through unofficial vendors could lead to non-admittance to the stadium and purchasers thereof being unable to access venues. Corporate customers and private individuals should only purchase tickets from the official channels, as shall be notified, to avoid disappointment.
