Website selling tickets for Sachin's final Test crashes.

As fans are frantically looking to book a seat to watch Sachin Tendulkar play the 200th and final Test of his career at Mumbai's Wankhede stadium, Kyazoonga.com, the website selling 5,000 tickets, crashed on Monday as tickets went on sale at 11am.

KyaZoonga was appointed the official ticketing partner for the second Test between India and West Indies, which will begin on November 14, by the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA).

The prices of the tickets are Rs. 500, Rs. 1000 and Rs. 2500. Only two tickets per person can be booked online.

Few tickets for public
The Wankhede can hold 32,000 spectators, but more than 80% of the tickets are not sold to the public. Around 6,000 tickets are kept aside for 300 affiliated clubs, another 6,000 go to the five gymkhanas and 6,000 more are handed to the Garware club.

Apart from these, a few thousands are distributed as complimentary tickets, most of them being cornered by government agencies like the BMC and police.

"We cannot help it. We have to give tickets to our clubs and former cricketers. They are our priority. Also, are they not part of the public?" an MCA official told HT.

Disappointed fans
Fans are obviously unimpressed with the way tickets are being sold.

"Keeping so few tickets for the public is criminal," said Karanraj Churiwala, a 23-year-old student.

"What is the use of hosting such a historic match if the ordinary man cannot watch it from the stands?" added Pratik Kadam, a 24-year-old professional.
