Ticket booking website BookMyShow crashed just minutes after the tickets for India’s World Cup matches went up for the sale for the Mastercard holders on August 29. The fans showed frustration on the social media platforms as most of them slammed the online ticket platform for their poor service.
Meanwhile, the India vs Pakistan match tickets were sold out in just 2.5 hours after the opening. The Men in Blue are slated to take on the arch-rivals Pakistan in their group stage clash of the marquee tournament. The match will be played at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
To note, India will exclusively host the ODI World Cup for the first time this year after, having previously co-hosted it in 1987, 1996, and 2011 alongside Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. The first match of the competition is slated to be played on October 5.
