    IPL should look to make tickets more economical

    0

    The Indian Premier League 2011 saw the Chennai Super Kings stroll to a win over the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the final to clinch the trophy. This gave the Super Kings two successive wins in the competition, having beaten the Mumbai Indians in the previous season’s IPL as well.

    The three teams that qualified for the Champions League T20 are thus, Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore – three of which have been able to do so even in the previous season. This makes them three of the more consistent sides in the IPL for two years in running.
    The IPL was a bit of a disappointment in 2011 when it came to the crowds because of the costs of the tickets and the manner in which it was played directly after the World Cup win. However, rest assured that the Indian board will take notice and the ticket prices will be brought down for the 2012 edition of the tournament.

    And if you are one of those who is looking for the IPL tickets online, you can buy it from the respective websites for the different teams. Franchises have outsourced their ticketing systems to sites like kyazoonga and bookmyshow and you can do your IPL tickets booking from there.

    It will be interesting to see how the IPL sides go about their business in the tournament in 2012, given that it has only been the above three teams who have done well in two successive competitions.
