 "Tendulkar fans still in the dark as site selling tickets for 200th Test crashes")
It didn’t take long. In fact, it was over before it began. Kyazoonga.com, the website tasked with selling 5000 tickets for Sachin Tendulkar’s 200th and final Test match at the Wankhede Stadium, crashed as tickets went on sale at 11 am. The Mumbai Cricket Association chose to sell tickets online because it wanted to avoid the possibility of a stampede at its ticket counters. [caption id=“attachment_1222187” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  Kyazoonga was surprised that so many people wanted to see Sachin Tendulkar’s last Test. PTI[/caption] Tickets were up for sale at three price points: Rs.500, Rs.1000 and Rs.2500, but there was no chance of finding out which stands those seats were located in because Kyazoonga failed to load, just as it did when tickets for the 2011 World Cup final went on sale. Like the World Cup, only two tickets per person can be booked online, which means plenty of people would have rushed to the site at 11 to make sure they didn’t miss out on buying tickets with obvious consequences. One would have thought that Kyazoonga would have learned their lesson following the World Cup ticketing debacle, but that is clearly not the case. As a result there is already speculation that the tickets will eventually find their way to the black market, just like they did for the World Cup final, and end up commanding as much as 100 times their marked price. Kyazoonga sent out the following tweet after the site crashed: Update at 3:15 pm: The site is loading now but very slowly. Checking out and paying for your ticket is still a problem, with the site crashing for us when we clicked on proceed after adding a ticket to our shopping cart. According to Kyazoonga, some sales are going through:
Update at 6.30 pm: Site is still down. Kyazoonga’s Twitter timeline is now full of answers to queries from people about whether their tickets have been confirmed or not. The usual answer seems to be as follows.
