Kolkata: As the Blue Tigers urged the fans in Kolkata to lend them there much respected support, with skipper Sunil Chettri himself requesting the fans to come to the stadium in support of the National team, the decision of complimentary tickets was a boon for the ardent fans in the city.

However, the localites were faced with a lot of hassle throughout the last couple of days in finding the tickets. With limited tickets being sold out within a couple of hours from the launch, AIFF were quick footed enough to add to the pool.

But, the things took a turn for the unwanted when the tickets that were supposed to available physically from 5pm -8pm on June 6 and June 7 from the ticket box office 2 near Gate 4 of Vivekananda Yuva Bharati Krirangan were declared to have not been ready to dispatch and the distribution would start about more than an hour late.

 

The crowd of fans waiting outside in clusters for their pre-booked tickets were much dissatisfied with the shortcomings. However, it can be believed that the organising committee will be quick to aid the situation. On the positive note, the turnout for the game is more than expected, however, the things would go other way if the situation is not aided soon.
