Even before the official ticket sales for the 2017 Indian Premier League season actually begin, black marketing of Chennai Super Kings games has already begun. As has been observed in past seasons, CSK’s fans consistently have a huge demand for their tickets. Many tickets have already been listed on a number of reselling websites prior of the official sale.
For every CSK match as well as a number of other well-known IPL matches, tickets have been made available on a well-known reselling website. An article in India Today claims that the ticket costs range from INR 17,804 to INR 123,593.
Tickets for the eagerly anticipated match between CSK and the Mumbai Indians, which will launch both teams’ IPL 2025 campaigns, are reportedly costing more than INR 57,000 on average.
The most expensive ticket for the rematch at Wankhede Stadium, meanwhile, is reportedly INR 5,13,514. The ridiculous circumstance blatantly demonstrates the insanity surrounding what is undoubtedly the largest franchise competition in cricket worldwide.
Fans have frequently complained about the previous IPL seasons that the ticket sales by teams should be more open. Many of them had their dreams of attending the live event at the stadium dashed, and now this is the result.
Meanwhile, the tournament’s joint-successful franchise’s official website has not yet released any official information. In order to guarantee their spot at the MA Chidambaram Stadium for what is expected to be an action-packed season, fans who wish to buy tickets through approved means will thus have to wait a little while longer.
As previously stated, Chennai will host CSK’s bitter rivals to kick off the season. Given that they missed out on the playoffs the previous season, they would be eager to improve in the next one.
