There were 3,000-4,000 complimentary tickets. The rest were police and volunteers, bringing the total to about 57,000,&quot; Anil Patel, the joint secretary of the Gujarat Cricket Association, told.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Another official said that the demand for low-priced tickets were more.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Most of the crowd bought tickets at the low-end, Rs 500 and Rs 1,000. There was less demand for high-end tickets,&quot; added the official.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The first international game to witness spectators was the Australia-New Zealand women&#39;s limited-overs series that began in Brisbane in late September 2020.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Men&#39;s cricket began witnessing crowds from November-end with crowds being allowed in New Zealand and Australia. However, those were only limited capacities.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
