Jay Shah drops World Cup Ticket updates (Source: Twitter)
The Indian Cricket Board honorary secretary Jay Shah dropped significant updates on the sale of Tickets for the forthcoming ODI World Cup 2023. They hope to put up the tickets for sale by August 10 and the staging associations are asked to finalise their ticket prices by July 31. However, Shah reiterated the fact that spectators will have to retain physical copies of the ticket and e-tickets will not be in use for the upcoming World Cup.

“We will make arrangements so that the physical tickets can be collected at seven-eight places one week prior to the match. We will make it hassle-free. We will start the e-ticket system in bilateral games first,” Shah said during an interaction with the media.
Indian Cricket Board partners with Coca-Cola for free drinking water
The Apex Cricket Council and the Indian Cricket Board will receive 300 free hospitality tickets, as per provisions. The states will also provide 1295 free tickets for league games, 1355 free tickets for India and semi-final games to the Apex Council, and 500 free tickets to the Indian Cricket Board. Moreover, if the Apex Council or the Indian Board wants to buy more tickets, the state will have to provide them. The state association can buy 40 tickets per match and 10% of the remaining will be set aside for purchase by the tour partners.
The Indian Cricket Board plans on providing free drinking water for all fans. “We will tie up with a company like Coca-Cola, which is the official partner of Apex Council too. Coca-Cola’s water brand Kinley will be served in the stands. That’s what we are trying. Whether it will be a packaged water bottle or by the glass, we will get to know soon because there are some constraints with regard to the bottle. Whatever it will be, it will be completely free,” Indian Cricket Board secretary Jay Shah said. He also said that they are emphasizing concession-based quality food products with hygienic distribution and affordable pricing.
