Eager fans get their hands on CPL 2025 tickets

The Guyana Amazon Warriors (GAW) box office was a hive of activity on Tuesday morning as patrons awaited their opportunity to get their hands on coveted tickets for the upcoming Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) and Massy Women’s CPL.

With some arriving as early as the afternoon prior, the GAW fans were very eager to secure their passage into the Guyana National Stadium, Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD) next month.
Guyana Times Sport caught up with a few ‘early-bird’ fans who spoke of the waiting time, their expectations for the season, and their favourite players.
“The wait was okay. I was here since 1:30pm yesterday and it was okay. The system was very smooth this year, so I must say it was a nice system,” said Melanie Winter, who was among the first five fans to get their hands on tickets.
She added, “I’m very excited this year, very, very excited.”

For Yougeshwar Birbahadur, it was a long wait, but tickets for the 2025 Republic Bank CPL were well worth it.
Birbahadur told this publication, “Well, it was real hectic, to left house since yesterday afternoon, since like 6. Line up in the line, nothing to eat, people pushing. I went to work and then I came back, I got back here and it was hectic to even get in. I thank God I get in and I’m so excited.
“I really want Ayub, I don’t know if he’s playing back, but we have Tahir, Shepherd; those are my favourite players,” Birbahadur went on share, in listing the players he wants to see in action for the local franchise.
Meanwhile, Marlon Solomon was another fan who endured the hours-long wait to be among the first to get his hands on tickets.

“Oh my gosh, since yesterday like 5 o’clock, since 5”, Solomon said he was waiting.
He continued, “Well, I’m excited at having the tickets yeah, but the waiting period is really, really stressing. But you know, I’m happy that I got my ticket and ready for the game.”
“Well, I support them. Sometimes they get me on nerves, but you know, we’re Guyanese and we support them to the end, that’s cricket. But I’m hoping that we do it again for the second time,” Solomon stated, revealing his championship hopes for the local franchise.
