World Cup tickets available Monday. I think.
The second phase of the ICC ticketing strategy for the ICC World Cup in West Indies next year kicks into action on Monday.Cricket fans the world over are sure to swamp the offical ticketing website until it falls off the face of the ‘net. Assuming, though, they can even figure out what the heck it is they are trying to order.
The process is allegedly simple - you just need to pick your ticket types, the venue, a venue-team combination, decide if it’s Path A or Path B on Option 1 or 2 and if it’s Category 1, 2, 3 or the Party Stand. But don’t forget that if your team is either Australia, England, India or the West Indies then it’ll be a different price and ticket type to any of the other teams. All of which is compounded by the fact that there are 9 stadiums… each one on different islands. So do you choose an Island and just watch cricket there and miss your team perform… and if you don’t pick Barbados then you won’t see the final. Or do you risk a “follow your team” ticket where you’ll have to Island hop… and gamble on whether or not they’ll get to the semi’s or the final.
The Commercial Manager noted that the Ticketing Programme, which took 12 months to finalise with input from a gamut of stakeholders, is designed to maximise ticket sales and thereby match attendance. This, he added, should ultimately generate significant revenue for West Indies cricket via the nine Local Organising Committees (LOCs) who will be the beneficiaries of Ticketing profits.
I’ll see it when I believe it. Complete confusion here. Get your tickets here.
