Eager patrons made their way to the box office as early as 13:00h on Monday afternoon to secure their spots, where they were able to add their names to a list.
As more fans visited the office throughout the night, the turnout was even more overwhelming on Tuesday morning, when GAW Event Operations Coordinator Romario Samaroo spoke of the impact of the CPL and their fixtures-based expectations.
Samaroo told Guyana Times Sport, “The Caribbean Premier League has become something that is synonymous with Guyana’s cricket. It’s the pinnacle of what competitive cricket is in Guyana and we see from the turnout, people are interested in, people want to come and witness cricket, they want to see the local Caribbean talents, the international stars that’re going to be participating; and of course, the support that the Guyana Amazon Warriors had throughout the years is phenomenal.”
“What they can expect is a long line currently. We had people here since 3pm yesterday, lining up and it is anticipated because we’re off to a banger. The first match for the Guyana leg of the Caribbean Premier League 2025 is Guyana versus Trinidad, that is probably the most sought-after match people want to come out and see in the entire CPL and to kick off the Guyana leg with that match, it sets the standard for what we’re to expect.”
Patrons can purchase up to 10 tickets for each game with the most affordable being the grass mound going at $2500. The green stand is priced at $7000, red stand $6500 and orange stand $4000.
In addition, the Amazon Warriors’ merchandise store is also open for business with this year’s players’ replicas on sale.
“Right behind me, you’ll see some merchandise that are on sale, every person that is coming to purchase tickets wants to know where you can get it and it’s right upstairs at the ticketing office. So, at our office at Camp Street, it’s an all-encompassing environment. The persons can come get their memorabilia for the Guyana Amazon Warriors and purchase their tickets all in one block,” the Operations Coordinator informed.
Addressing the double-header deal that will allow fans access to the Massy Women’s CPL, Samaroo urged support for the Amazon Warriors Women who will be playing at home for the first time.
“Women’s cricket in Guyana has garnered a lot of support. This is the first time that the Guyana Amazon Warriors Women will be playing in Guyana, if we’re to anticipate the support that we give the men, we’re going to have a massive crowd at the stadium, supporting the GAW female team. We have the Trinidad Women’s team as well and Barbados. Barbados have won it, Trinidad has won it, Guyana is yet to win it and I feel as all of us say ‘this year is we year’,” Samaroo shared.
The GAW box office will be opened from 08:00h to 16:00h from Monday to Friday and 09:00h to 13:00h on Saturdays. Further, tickets for the Republic Bank CPL playoffs and final will go on sale from Tuesday, August 12.
