The buzz of tickets being sold in the black market infuriated bystanders at the Mohammedan Sporting Club area. “Most of the scalpers are operating through social media,” said Sayantan Guha, a working professional, whose friend Siddharth Sarkar was approached by a website, www.yandex.com, on Friday. The website asked the buyers to purchase ticket in pairs, one ticket would cost '5,000 and two '7,500 exclusive of the original ticket cost which is to be paid to the authorised BookMyShow. There is also a pick-up venue for the black tickets. But there is no clarity as to who are these middlemen. They could be the ones who already registered online for the tickets.
The counter outside the stadium served the customers who had already registered online.
