Fans clash, vandalise BPL ticket booths failing to secure tickets

Fans vandalised a ticket booth, broke chairs, and set a booth ablaze after failing to get tickets for the matches of the Bangladesh Premier League on Thursday in Mirpur.

They also broke the window of a nearby establishment.

Before this incident, fans clashed for tickets on the day before the opening matches, and on the opening day too.

On the opening day, fans broke the main gate of the stadium which prompted police to use batons to disperse the desperate fans.

Fans can buy tickets this year from the online platforms and from some designated branches of a private bank. But many fans said they were unable to ensure a ticket on either way.

BCB boss Faruque Ahmed earlier said the online ticketing system is not as efficient as they expected it to be, making the fans angry, who eventually vandalized the ticket booths near the stadium.

For online buyers, tickets can be accessed through the official website (www.gobcbticket.com.bd).

Hard copies of tickets are being sold at designated Modhumoti Bank PLC branches. On Sunday, tickets were made available between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM. On Monday, the opening day of BPL, sales will continue from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

The branches facilitating sales include those located in Mirpur, Motijheel, Uttara, Gulshan, Dhanmondi, Kamrangir Char, and on VIP Road in Paltan. Fans are advised to visit the branch closest to them during the specified hours.    —UNB
