“They (investor) want to keep hold of tickets. They are not football people, they don’t quite know how many to give to whom,” a veteran EB official, who didn’t want to be identified, said.
East Bengal’s legacy authorities, who are in a difficult position, have conveniently removed themselves from the incident and blamed their investor. The investor strongly disputes this accusation.
“We have given to Bagan the same number of tickets we received in the first leg (Bagan won it 2-0 on Oct 29, 2022). We have only kept 3,000 tickets for our employees, business associates etc and have distributed all we had,” an Emami insider claimed on condition of anonymity. “We wish to state that complimentary tickets have been distributed amongst all our stakeholders as per the usual practice,” read a statement from them.
