Capacity crowd expected

By The Assam Tribune

MELBOURNE, Feb 11 (PTI): The cricket World Cup is set to start on a rousing note with capacity crowd expected at all the four venues across Australia and New Zealand over the weekend. Two matches have already sold out, while only limited tickets remain for the games in Melbourne and Hamilton, according to ICC. The tournament�s Local Organising Committee chief executive John Harnden said he was delighted with the response of the fans.

�We�ve already sold over 8,25,000 tickets a few days before the first ball is being bowled.

�We�re very close to being at full capacity for Australia versus England on Saturday at the MCG. There�s a few thousand tickets left and I�d urge people if they want to be there, to buy now and don�t leave it until the last moment.

�The message to everyone is there are still great tickets available, there�s a lot of games over the tournament and don�t miss out. If you want to be here, if you really want to be part of history make certain you come,� Harnden said.
