For the March 19 match , there will be much  lesser online tickets available assuming most of whom who have bought the tickets for Dharamsala will now come down to watch the match in Kolkata with the same ticket. According to ICC Chief Executive Dave Richardson ““As far as those who have purchased tickets online for the match, they will be offered the choice of a full refund or the opportunity to exchange their tickets for ones for the Kolkata match.” So there will be only 32400 tickets up for grabs. The tickets for the marquee match will be up for sale to the general public from March 14 from Mohammedan Sporting Ground. The tickets will be priced at Rs 500, Rs 1000 and Rs 1500 .
