Cricket excitement is peaking in Ranchi as fans gear up for the India vs South Africa 1st ODI at the JSCA International Stadium on November 30. Offline ticket counters officially opened on November 25, and hundreds of supporters lined up much before 9 AM, with many even camping overnight to secure their seats amid heavy demand.
According to JSCA, offline ticket sales will continue daily from 9 AM to 3 PM, and fans have been advised to arrive early due to long queues and limited on-ground availability. Meanwhile, online ticket booking remains open, giving spectators another convenient option to book their seats before match day.
New entry rule from JSCA
JSCA has issued a crucial new guideline for all visitors:
-
Infants and toddlers — even 1-month-old babies — must carry a valid match ticket.
-
One ticket = one person, strictly enforced.
-
Fans must avoid folding or damaging their tickets, as a faulty barcode may lead to denial of entry at the stadium gates.
