A Chennai-based lawyer on Wednesday filed a case against the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) team Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the BCCI and the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association for irregularities in the sale of tickets. Following the controversies related to black market sale for CSK’s home matches, the matter has been placed before the Civil Court of Chennai city.
Advocate, Ashok Chakraborty posted on Facebook, wrote, “Today I came across irregularities in the sale of tickets on Chennai Super Kings, BCCI and TNCA to the black ticket market and suspicious online ticket sales in the ongoing IPL tournament at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Case has been registered for.
CSK and its management have come under scrutiny from within the city and from various parts of the country due to non-availability of tickets both online and after counter sales. Lower-stand tickets, which usually cost around Rs 1,500 to Rs 2,000, were reportedly sold for Rs 8,000. Ticket prices have skyrocketed as there are rumors that it will be CSK skipper M.S. Dhoni’s last IPL.
The post further read, “During the matter, a temporary ban on the sale of tickets for the playoffs at the MA Chidambaram Stadium will also be discussed.” Also prayed before the court for an interim stay on the sale of tickets for the playoffs and qualifiers to be held in Chennai next week and to provide online ticket booking logs of previous matches held in Chennai.”
Chepauk will host the first qualifier and eliminator matches of the playoff stage. Tickets for those games will be available exclusively on the official IPL website starting Thursday. Earlier, CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan had revealed that the franchise is entitled to provide 20% tickets to the Board of Control for Cricket in India and the TNCA, besides giving 13,000 tickets out of 36,000 tickets available to TNCA division clubs.
