Administrators at the Central Gauteng Cricket Lions Union hope that a discount ticket special will help to fill seats for Sunday’s ‘Pink ODI’ after sales this week were extremely slow for what is a marquee event on the local sports calendar.
Local officials are hopeful that a sizeable crowd will attend Sunday's Pink ODI at the Wanderers Stadium between South Africa and the Netherlands.Administrators at the Central Gauteng Cricket Lions Union hope a discount ticket special will help to fill seats for Sunday’s ‘Pink ODI’ after sales this week were extremely slow for a marquee event on the local sports calendar.
The sluggish sales have been put down to high ticket prices, less than stellar opponents and “cricket fatigue” among the public who in Gauteng have already had the SA20 tournament along with Tests and T20 Internationals in the last few months.Ticket prices, which range from R250 on the open East Stand to R290 on the grass embankment, with the most expensive seats being in the main stands priced at R500, are seen as the major obstacle, however.
However, the SA20 was a domestic tournament and there is a belief that despite the Netherlands not being one of the top sides, it is still an international match and ticket prices should fit that status.
