Ticket Refund Process Initiated After Abandoned Fourth T20I
New Delhi, Dec 18 (digihunt) – The fourth T20I match between India and South Africa was abandoned due to excessive fog and poor visibility conditions. In the wake of this situation, Prem Manohar Gupta, Secretary of the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA), announced that the ticket refund process will commence from Friday.
Gupta confirmed that arrangements are in place to ensure a smooth reimbursement for spectators who bought tickets for the match, whether online or offline.
“The ticket refund process will start from tomorrow morning. Those who purchased online will be refunded online, with only the service charges being deducted. The rest of the amount will be fully refunded,” Gupta stated.
“For those who bought tickets offline, we will be setting up booths at the Ekana Stadium. The refund process will begin there, and an advertisement will be published in the newspapers. All the money will be reimbursed to all spectators,” he added in an interview with digihunt on Thursday.
After repeated inspections by on-field umpires K.N. Ananthapadmanabhan and Rohan Pandit, along with reserve umpire J.R. Madanagopal, the decision was made to call off the game at 9:30 PM at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium.
“We are very sorry that the match was not held. We had completed all preparations for the game to take place. We thank all our viewers who came from far with the hope to watch the match. They dedicated their time, but it is God’s will that the match was not held. We sincerely apologize for this,” Gupta expressed.
Currently, India, led by Suryakumar Yadav, holds a 2-1 lead in the five-match series against South Africa. The fifth and final game of the series is set to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday.
