Lengthy lines and scores of avid cricket fans are expected to engulf Camp Street in Georgetown tomorrow, as tickets for the highly-anticipated Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) playoffs and final, which is slated for the Guyana National Stadium at Providence from October 1st to 6th, go on sale from 09:00hrs at the Guyana Amazon Warriors’ (GAW) Box Office.
With the Guyana Amazon Warriors (GAW) poised to defend their title at home, the rush for playoff tickets is expected to surpass that of the sale of regular season tickets — which saw patrons lining up from 17:00hrs on the day before the Box Office opened in order to secure their tickets two weeks ago.
For the Eliminator, Qualifier 1 and Qualifier 2 matches, a ticket to the Green Stand would cost $7000, Red Stand $6500, Orange Stand $6000, and the grass mound $3500.
A ticket to the final would cost $8500 for the Green Stand; $8000 for the Red Stand; $7500 for the Orange Stand, and $4000 for the grass mound.
As usual, there would be a stipulation on the number of tickets one patron can purchase. As such, for the final, fans can buy four tickets per person. For the Eliminator and Qualifier 1 matches, a fan can purchase ten tickets per person; and for the Qualifier 2 match, there is a limit of 6 tickets per person for the stands, or 8 tickets per person for the grass mound.
The Guyana Amazon Warriors Box Office is located at 233- 234 Camp Street, Georgetown (between Middle and Quamina Streets). The Eliminator, Qualifier 1, Qualifier 2 and the grand final are scheduled for Tuesday, October 1st, Wednesday, October 2nd, Friday, October 4th and Sunday, October 6th respectively.
