The stance taken by PM Mia may seem extreme, but it is needed.
This is my third time trying to get a semi-final ticket...
1. The ballot--unsuccessful
2. Was given an extension--unsuccessful
3. I am in the waiting line, which often takes over 30 minutes, and by the time I get in, it's closed.

I just in.
Ticket is 105.00.
By the time I spin around, cant find the venue and match anymore.
Is this a fraud?

Countries try to host international events for the economic benefits they offer, not really to entertain domestic populations, England and US bid for every event, this is to attract tourists.

It’s not fraud! The ballot process is no different than in the US. I wasn’t able to secure tickets during the ballot process, but was able to purchase through the normal sales process!
Allyuh to eager condemn everything, like the Caribbean people are renowned for doing things right!lol

Caribbean people have not been supporting cricket for a long time. So what is the problem? Let fans from around the world come and enjoy what we do not want and support our economies at the same time.

Tickets was available to purchase most ppl would buy if lucky during the ballot then resell close to the end of the games
Plus remember sponsors etc have tickets slots

I've been wondering, is there a better ticketing experience that can benefit the Caribbean community?
