‘U-17 World Cup tickets to cost less than ₹100’

KOLKATA: Javier Ceppi, the tournament director for the under-17 World Cup, said tickets for India’s first World Cup football event, would be priced at less than ~100.

“We will be launching tickets by mid-May and it will be priced for less than what it takes to watch a movie and for what it costs to watch other leagues,” said Ceppi, at a media conference at Salt Lake stadium that looked every bit a work in progress here on Thursday.
