The excitement led to a big chaos taking place at the Narendra Modi stadium as fans struggled to collect their tickets. BCCI has partnered with PayTm to sell the online tickets. However, even afer booking their seats, the spectators need to collect the physical copy from the stadium. Thanks to this rule, there were big queues in front of the ticket office at the stadium as fans stood under the sun, waiting for their turn. A video went viral on the internet in which one can see a chaos taking pace at the venue.

Fans angry at board for mismanagement

The biggest stakeholders in Indian cricket, the fans, felt cheated on knowing that they are required to collect physical copies of their tickets. A fan, in a video posted on Twitter, was heard saying that he paid the connvenience fee to the ticket-booking website and yet he was at the stadium, standing in a long queue, to collect a physical copy, without which he would not be allowed inside the stadium to watch the final. 

There were other tweets, which we have mentioned below, in which fans are upset with the ticket booking process. A fan alleged that tickets went missing seconds after they were open for sale.
