Shah Rukh Khans Kolkata Knight Riders mired in IPL Twenty20 ticket row
March 26th, 2008Kolkata Knight Riders team owner and
Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan has landed in a soup over ticket
distribution of DLF IPL Twenty20 matches.
Cricket Members Forum of Bengal has filed a case in a Kolkata court
challenging the authority of Cricket Association of Bengal to
distribute tickets for the tournament.
The forum wants free tickets to all its members for matches in Eden
Gardens. The forum claimed in the suit that as per Rule 15 (ii) of
Cricket Association of Bengal forum members were eligible for free
tickets. The court is hearing the matter on Wednesday.
“According to Rule-15 of CAB constitution all life members,
associate members and affiliated members are supposed to get free
tickets for all matches organised by the Board of Control for Cricket
in India. We are 31,000 members and this match is not for any
benevolent cause or charity. So, there is no reason why we will not get
our free tickets,” Cricket Members’ Forum of Bengal Convener, Abhijit
Sarkar said.
