Chhattisgarh’s BJP government has decided to exempt the tickets of two IPl season-6 matches from entertainment tax, official sources informed on Wednesday.
The matches will be played at Naya Raipur on April 28 and on May 1 for cricket lovers. The cricket fans in the state are reportedly even attempting to manage tickets even through black-marketing as the state has never hosted any key cricket event involving international players.
“The state government has decided to exempt IPl tickets from entertainment tax with a view to promote cricket in the state and make it a perfect destination for international matches in coming up years,’’ sources informed.
The Delhi Daredevils will take on Pune Warriors on April 28 while on May 1 the Delhi Daredevils will clash with Kolkata Knight Riders at the 60,000 crowd-capacity stadium at village Parsada in Naya Raipur which is described as the second best stadium of the country in terms of facilities and sitting capacity.
