LAHORE: Cricket enthusiasts thronged to buy tickets through online for the highly anticipated Pakistan Super League final, scheduled to be held in Lahore on Sunday and all tickets available online were sold out on the very first day of the sale on Wednesday.

The online tickets priced at Rs12,000 for the Wasim Akram and the Waqar Younis enclosures were made available to cricket lovers on February 28.

Long queues outside banks were observed, as fans from across the province waited to get their hands on the tickets for the PSL final set to be held on Sunday, March 5 at the Gaddafi Stadium.

The cricket fans said that they had queued as early as 7:00 AM outside the bank. Many expressed their dismay over the fact that banks were not selling the cheapest tickets that cost Rs500.

On Tuesday PCB Chairman Shahryar Khan announced that a thousand tickets will be sold for Rs500. Prices range from Rs500 to Rs12000.

Clashes were reported near Liberty Market where the police’s help was required to control the eager crowd outside the bank.
