Due to the heavy rainfall, the cricket match in chepauk cricket stadium in chennai, has been abandoned...The real losers here are the spectators...They have paid a lot of money for buying tickets and the ticket counters are not willing to refund the money since the match is not going to take place...All the people are furious and feel cheated. This is not right on the part of the stadium, they should atleast refund half the amount of the tickets...Now there is no use complaining about it , people knew there would be rainfall and inspite of that they have bought the tickets. I was going to one of my clients office near the stadium yesterday and on my way I saw people tearing down posters near the counters and throwing plastic water bottles inside the stadium...I even heard a man yelling "This is robbery on broad day light !". Lucky me, they stopped with that ! Or else I would have been caught between angry spectators and who knows what might have happened to me if they start a riot or something ! It is been heard that they wantedly scheduled the matches during rain as they can make money without even hosting a match and saving the hosting expenses... I don't know how far this is true.
I would advise people not to waste time trying to buy tickets to watch a cricket match, mainly during the rainy season. There is just no use of feeling sorry after losing money like this. My grandpa keeps telling me this.... 'The fault is not on the cheaters, its on the people who are being knowingly getting fooled"
