India vs South Africa T20 match at Guwahati 'sold out'

The capacity of the ACA Stadium in Guwahati is 39,500, but 1,500 are "killed seats" as the view of the field is not available from there

The T20 International between India and South Africa in Guwahati on Sunday is set to be a full house with all tickets sold out, an official said.

The transparent manner in which the tickets were sold has also increased the enthusiasm among the cricket fans, Assam Cricket Association (ACA) secretary Devajit Saikia told PTI on Friday.

"We are expecting a full house. Out of about 38,000 seats, 21,200 were for the general public and the tickets were sold online in two phases. The tickets were sold out in no time," he said.

Another 12,000 tickets were made available for the public through the district associations, and those were sold over the counters.

"Usually, 40-50% of tickets sent to the districts return unsold. This time, hardly 100 tickets have come back to us," Mr. Saikia said.

The rest of the tickets are sent to state associations and some are given as complimentary passes to special guests and invitees, he added.
