Bhubaneswar: The tickets for the upcoming Hockey Men’s World Cup, including that of the inaugural ceremony on November 27, will now be available online only.
According to official sources, a decision to this effect was taken in the aftermath of law and order situation at Kalinga Stadium here on Thursday morning, when people vandalized a counter after allegedly being denied tickets for the mega event.
A notification in this regard will be issued in a day or two, the sources said, adding that the number of passes for the event will also be reduced.
