Kolkata, May 17:
Football crazy fans of Kolkata have once again lived up to their reputation as tickets of FIFA U- 17 World Cup matches, to be held at the Salt Lake stadium here, were “sold out” in less than 12 hours.
In the first phase after its launch, the venue package tickets for Kolkata were kept at throwaway prices of Rs 480, 960 and 1920 for the 10 matches including the summit clash on October 28.
It was a limited inventory that was open for sale and the Local Organising Committee (LOC) would put up more on sale in phase one in case it gets sold out, FIFA U-17 World Cup tournament director Javier Ceppi had said. (PTI)
