The unpleasant ticket booking experience for fans for the upcoming ODI World Cup matches continued on Friday (September 8) during the latest round of sales. The ticketing process has been heavily criticized since the pre-sale last week (especially for MasterCard users). Bookmyshow, the official partner of the BCCI, has since put a certain number of tickets on sale in a phased manner over the last week. At each of these junctures, millions of fans have faced upheaval.
Even after waiting for a long time in the queue, he could not get the ticket due to some problem with the booking platform. Some netizens also checked the backend code of the booking software and claimed that Bookmyshow and BCCI are fooling common fans by selling very few tickets and withholding a major portion.
Here are some of the reactions:

They're playing with the emotions of cricket fans. You guys are making a mockery of our cricket emotions. Stick to organising IPL instead of a mega event like World Cup @BCCI @JayShah
And when it comes to Jay Shah, you've no other qualities except being the son of HM pic.twitter.com/9CEdSsFt11— KUMAR ANSHUL (@kumar_anshul123) September 8, 2023

Started right at 8
Waited for around an hour and then had to give up at last
But #BookMyShow didn't even decrease the time it was 90 minutes even after an hour.
