Imran Khan now wants PSL final tickets to be free

Tickets for Imran Khan Enclosure at Gaddafi Stadium should be free for fans: PTI chief

Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said he wished all tickets for seats in an enclosure named after him at the Gaddafi Stadium would be free for fans hoping to experience the Pakistan Super League (PSL) final.

The Gaddafi Stadium, where the highly-awaited showdown between Peshawar Zalmi and the Quetta Gladiators will be held Sunday, is divided into sections named after prolific former Pakistan cricket team players.

“It is quite unfair to have tickets priced at Rs12,000 with cricket being played in Pakistan after such a long time,” he was quoted as saying. "This is injustice with cricket fans."

Khan further alleged that the PSL tournament had been turned into an event for the "elite".

Khan's desire that PSL tickets be made free appears to contradict his earlier staunch opposition to the final being held in Pakistan.

He said Thursday that holding a cricket match in a curfew-like environment would have an adverse impact on the country's image. If any adverse incident occurs on the day of the final, it would prove to be the end of international cricket in Pakistan, he had said.

"Under such monumental security arrangements, matches can even be held in Iraq and Syria,” he had earlier remarked.

lol...can't believe that as the former cricket captain he ever made a case for it not being held at all!

That's illogical. Aisey toh poora Pakistan Gadaffi Stadium phonjaey ga.
Though i agree with this:

“It is quite unfair to have tickets priced at Rs12,000 with cricket being played in Pakistan after such a long time,” he was quoted as saying. "This is injustice with cricket fans."

One can afford 500 and even 1000 to 2000, 12000 or 8000 is a bit too much. Expecting some VIP's i guess.

Not everyone can afford a ticket of this price. So he is partially right here.

Further more;

This bloody bufoon, as calculated as Zardari after 4 shots of Johnnie Walker.

Okay this means Jahangir Tahreen will be paying for the entire enclosure.

 

[Kambojaric]

PSL is a commercial enterprise, not a charity. Lovely as it may sound to hand out free tickets, its not a financially feasible idea, especially since the tournament is still in its infancy, and looking to attract more investors to add more teams in the coming years.

He need to understand this enclosure named after him as he used to be a great cricketer
But it's not something given by his first wife or second
Or it's not his dads place
So shut the ffff up and ppl hate your politics now
