Cricket fans on the Essequibo Coast desirous of purchasing tickets for the Hero Caribbean Premier League
Guyana Amazon Warriors fans
(CPL) Guyana home matches can now do so right on the coast at Jenny’s Hair Studio at lot 24 Evergreen and at lot 3 Affiance.
This follows the opening of the central ticket office at 238 Camp and Quamina Streets in Georgetown and the Berbice ticket outlet at Vijai (Paresh) Ramdhan’s office at lot 19 Princess Elizabeth Road Queenstown, New Amsterdam.
Patrons wishing to purchase tickets will be allowed ten (10) tickets per person for each game and where possible they may be allowed to purchase tickets with the seats of their choice in their preferred Stand depending on availability.
The costs of tickets remain the same as last year and are as follows:
• RED AND GREEN STANDS – $4,000 GY OR $20 US EACH
• ORANGE STAND – $3,000 GY OR $15 US EACH
• THE MOUND – $2000 GY OR $10 US EACH
This year the organizers have put in place many security features to prevent counterfeiting and unlike some other venues, tickets for the Guyana National Stadium are numbered to match the seat number which will eliminate the possibility of overcrowding.
Patrons are asked to make early purchases so as to avoid the rush as we get close to match days.
Four (4) exciting and high quality games are to be played in Guyana as follows:
• Thursday 7th July – Guyana Amazon Warriors vs Jamaica Tallawahs at 19:00 Hrs
