Just goes to show how broken the ticketing system is In India.

Not a single online source to purchase tickets.
With all the funds and IT resources the @BCCI cannot come up with an efficient way to get tickets to cricket fans.

They provided only 500 tickets.

Actually the crowd was more than 5000.
Machine issue was just an excuse to extend the time till evening to say the tickets are sold out.
We literally waited for more than 12hrs and returned with no tickets
