Mumbai: Angry cricket lovers and Sachin Tendulkar fans staged a protest outside Wankhede Stadium, as the Mumbai Cricket Association  had decided to limit 5000 tickets meant for general public to be sold online.

Fans hoping to watch Sachin Tendulkar’s 200th and final Test match were disappointed to know that more than 80 percent of the tickets are not sold to the public and those 500 tickets which will be open for public are to be sold through online.

It is learnt that 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. Wankhede can only hold 32,000 spectators, which limits the ticket availability to the general public.

Moreover there is a section of tickets distributed for free to the government officials.

A high security was witnessed at Wankhede Stadium, following the protest.
