Where are the tickets gone?
Cricket World Cup, the event we all Bangladeshis adore and eagerly wait for, are knocking at our door. We were hoping to experience the magnificent prowess of our players, and the fact that Bangladesh is hosting a number of games this year just heightened our excitement.
But who thought the attempt to buy tickets for watching the games would be so elusive? When we went to buy our desired tickets, all we could see was the long queue and the people's disheartened faces. Soon it was clear enough that many of us would fail to fulfill our wish to witness the matches from the gallery.
Why have so little number of tickets been issued in the first place? The government is aware about the massive number of cricket fans in this country. Then why should we face all those quagmires? Is some kind of a clout playing its role all along? Whom have all the tickets been issued for? Can anyone answer?
