Commonwealth Games tickets launched online | Suresh Kalmadi, the Chairman of Commonwealth Games Organising Committee (CGOC), on Friday launched the sale of online tickets for the Commonwealth Games. Kalmadi
issued the first ticket to the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, Tejinder Khanna.
Addressing media persons, Kalmadi said the tickets are priced reasonably to encourage
more and more participation of people in the event. "The tickets are reasonably
priced. Rupees 50 is the minimum ticket. Any ticket holder can go free by public
transportation. And, I am grateful to the government of Delhi for having waved
aside entertainment tax. No entertainment tax on this ticket, that is why we could
have the prices so low," Kalmadi added. Kalmadi said he was confident that the
sports loving people will contribute to the successful delivery of the Games that
is being held in Asia for only the second time and in India for the first time.
He hoped the games organizing committee would witness a huge turnout of spectators
during the games. The tickets will be available in four different slabs and will
range from Rs. 50 to Rs. 1000 for all sporting events. While the tickets for the
inaugural and closing ceremony to be held at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New
Delhi are priced between Rs. 750 to Rs. 50,000. The tickets will be available
at more than 50 outlets of Central Bank of India and Hero Honda showrooms. |
