The Hindu
Flight fares on the route had shot up to ₹84,000, but the good news was that a few seats were available (when we checked).
As the Indian team has set itself up for an epic final in the cricket World Cup on November 19, fans of the game in Bengaluru, like the rest of the country, are gearing up to catch the men in blue in action, in style. Having won all the games in this edition of the World Cup, India will play Australia in the final on Sunday.
Fans, who are excited enough to want to fly to Ahmedabad to watch the final in the stadium, are staring at flights tickets whose prices start at ₹26,000.
Many fans are planning to flock to community screenings across Bengaluru to cheer team India’s return to the World Cup final after over a decade. Pubs and sports bars are expecting a significant crowd on Sunday.
Kushalppa, assistant manager of Social on Church Street, said that they have already got around 90 reservations, as they are screening the final. They have come up with a specially curated menu for the World Cup, namely Stadi-YUM, and those who order from this menu will have specially arranged spin-the-wheel games, cricket VR games as well as pop quizzes surrounding the World Cup.
Allister Braganza, Senior Regional Business Manager, Social, said, “Generally, Sundays are anyway full, but now we’ll host at least 150 extra people in all out branches. We have a special World Cup menu of 10 dishes, and special beer. Most people have booked tables of 6-8, and everyone seems to be looking forward to experience this moment with their friends. It’s going to be fun.”
SkyDeck by Sherlock’s on M.G. Road is also expecting a large crowd after having sold out all seats for screenings of the FIFA World Cup. “Reservations have already started for the weekend. I am overwhelmed because I am looking forward to seeing India win for the third time,” said Mohinder Poojari, manager of SkyDeck. The pub has fixed two LED walls specially for the World Cup screenings.
