BCCI Starts Selling Tickets Online For Champions Trophy

Cricinfo: The Board of Control for Cricket in India is embracing e-commerce. BCCI has started selling tickets online. For instance, those who want to watch the Champions Trophy matches – being held at Mumbai, Mohali, Jaipur or Ahmedabad, they just need to visit the site www.bcci.tv, take a virtual tour of the seating arrangements and pick the seats they want and pay by credit card. But there is a limit of four tickets per card, and now only visa card holders can buy tickets online. Visa, which is a one of the sponsors of the Champions Trophy, has exclusivity on online ticketing for the first 15 days. [For money, BCCI will do anything. They may even bar Mastercard holders from watching matches on TV too!]
The sale was started around 8 pm on Tuesday evening and within an hour the sales started flowing in huge numbers. Anyways, it’s a good sign that BCCI has adopted online ticketing. They could also enable mobile ticketing. It’s just that you may not be able to pick your seats.
By the way, will they also give out free passes online for politicians, policemen etc?
