XtraTime Web Desk: The process of refunding the amounts for Day 4 and Day 5 Tickets has started. The CAB has said that messages would be sent to all online transactors who have booked only for these two days.
Today, the CAB is closed for a day after successfully organising the first Day and Night Test on Indian soil. Once it reopens, they would work out a mechanism for refund of tickets sold offline as well.
“CAB has always stood by the cricket loving people and have tried its best to provide them with the best of facilities. This time too, there would be no exception. It is our moral duty to refund amounts of the tickets for the last two days where no game is being played at all,” said CAB in a statement.
The rule that there is no refund if a ball has been bowled in the match would not be applicable for this match for the specific days where no game took place. This is more so because the tickets were sold on daily basis and not as season tickets in order to bring in more crowds.
“In fact, we are much thankful to the spectators for turning up in huge numbers on each of the days. It was delightful to see people come to the ground even when they knew not much game was remaining on Day 3. Not mentioning the first two days when the stadium was jam packed,” the statement further added.
“We would also like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to BCCI and its President, Sri Sourav Ganguly for taking this initiative to bring back the interest of the people to Test Cricket. After the end of the Game, one can easily vouch that Cricket was the Real Winner,” the statement concludes.
