Panaji, Apr 7 (UNI) Goa Cricket Association (GCA) today announced that some cricket fans who failed to get entry into the stadium on April 3 for the One day International (ODI) match between India and England, despite valid tickets, would get refund and also receive complimentary passes for the next ODI in the state.

GCA Secretary Chetan Desai urged valid ticket holders to call on telephone number 2421088 or come to the Association office in person and register their names, addresses and number of valid tickets they held and the denomination of the tickets and collect the refund on April 12 between 1000 hrs and 1300hrs.

Desai said this step was taken after it was brought to the notice of the GCA that there were stray incidents of valid ticket-holders not being able to watch the ODI.
