Borrowing money has taken a back seat at least for now. The latest craze that has caught up with people in Hyderabad, particularly the cricket buffs, is borrowing tickets. Yes tickets to witness the one day international match between India and Australia at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad.
Everyone from top bureaucract to the attendant level and from ministers to corporators every one in the city is after the cricket match tickets. With the police and the influential knocking away the tickets put on sale, the demand for tickets has gone up. Even journalists are seen asking for tickets from their friends in politics and bureaucracy.
And for those expert in black marketing, they are the happiest lot. A Rs 250 worth ticket is being sold for Rs 3000 and the Rs 1000 one for Rs 6,000. The craze is being built up. It all depends on the clouds. It they burst, the match may be interrupted robbing enthusiasm from the fans. But the black marketers stand to benefit anyway.
