Loose Delivery 1: THE TICKET MATH

BANGALORE HORROR: A new controversy has sprung up regarding the allocation of tickets for the India-England world cup match at Chinnaswamy stadium with more people coming out and demanding separate quotas. But KSCA officials vehemently turned down these demands saying they had to keep the interests of the common man in mind. Unofficial sources quoted Anil Kumble as saying, “ Man! It would have been easier to PLAY in the GODDAMN world cup than manage all these quotas as president of KSCA.”

Here is the current list of Ticket quotas:

Total Capacity: 43,000

Barmy army, horny army and all other armies from England: 10,000

ICC: 5,099 (Nobody will occupy these seats. These are just for the ICC to show its clout to the world)
BCCI: 5,100 (Again these won’t be filled. But the BCCI is just showing the world that it has bigger clout than the ICC)

Ministers, MLAs, lesser-known politicians and people pretending to be politicians ; 10,000
Their wives and children: 5000
Their neighbours and their wives and children : 5,000

Collectors, Police Commissioners, BBMP officials, their wives and children and ‘their’ wives and children : 2800

General Quota : 1 Ticket.

General quota tickets will be on sale to the public at the stadium counters from 21st Feb. Special security arrangements have been made to ensure that people follow the Q-system.
