Expats want to sell Bangladesh World Cup match tickets at half price
Share on:
Many say they will not take it even if it is free
The crowded event of the World Cup is going to be held in the United States. Expatriate Bangladeshis were not short of frenzy hoping to support their country by sitting in the stadium . However, before the World Cup, the madness seems to have died down. Nazmul Hossain Shantor's team has already lost the series against USA, which is almost unknown in world cricket . The fear of the shame of whitewash is also growing.
Which has an impact among expatriate supporters as well. In the meantime, there has been an increase in the selling of tickets for the World Cup matches in Bangladesh in the Facebook groups of the Bangladeshi community in America.
Bangladesh is playing a series with the co-host USA to boost confidence ahead of the World Cup. After losing the first match by 5 wickets, the Tigers could not turn around yesterday (Thursday) in the last match to save the series. This time they lost by 6 runs. The 9th ranked T20 and Test playing country lost two consecutive matches to the 19th ranked partner country USA. Which is questioning the ability of Team Tigers ahead of the World Cup.
However, before leaving the country to play the World Cup, Bangladesh captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto had forbidden to expect much. However, before the World Cup, no one thought that it would be so embarrassing against a relatively weak opponent! Disappointing to see the game of Bangladesh or not, many Bangladeshis living in America, who bought tickets for the World Cup matches; Now want to sell it. They are also making ridiculous excuses as reasons.
Someone who wants to sell Bangladesh vs South Africa match tickets wrote, I will sell 2 tickets, one for Bangladesh vs South Africa match (my wife's cat's birthday, can't go. Wife will stop talking if I go). Another warm-up match between Bangladesh and India (on that day my astrologer says that the journey is not good for me, so it is not possible to go. If anyone buys it, let me know, I will sell it at half price).
New York expatriate Sheikh Minhaj Hossain said in a post on his Facebook that there are several groups of Bangladeshi expatriates in America on Facebook. In the last few hours, everyone in those groups is trying to sell Bangladesh vs South Africa match tickets! A little down from the homepage only the ticket sales post!
It is known that each ticket bought with 217 dollars (including tax) is asking for the price! Someone is asking for half price again. In response, many people say that they will not take it even if they give it free. Few, however, are seriously looking to buy. But they are offering $50 instead of $217!
The ninth season of T20 World Cup will be played from June 2. However, Bangladesh team's World Cup mission will start from June 8. Where the Tigers' World Cup will begin with a match against Sri Lanka, the venue is Dallas, USA. Then, in their second match, Bangladesh will play against South Africa on June 10. The Tigers will play their third match against the Netherlands on June 13. After that, Bangladesh will finish the group stage with a match against Nepal on June 17.
