CSK tickets sell for close to 50k on black market even before official sale for IPL 2025 [In Pictures]

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are in the headlines for all the wrong reasons from the fans' points of view as black marketing of tickets has begun ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. Surprisingly, black marketing of tickets started even before the commencement of official sales.

Notably, the MA Chidambaram Stadium will host a couple of big games to kickstart the 18th edition of the tournament. The Super Kings will face arch-rivals Mumbai Indians (MI) and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in their first two games of the season.

With Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli set to feature in the first two home games, ticket prices have skyrocketed on viagogo.com. The prices for the upper block are close to 40k for CSK vs MI and 55k for CSK vs RCB.

As per India Today, the black marketing of IPL tickets has taken place in the past as well. However, the BCCI and IPL governing council are yet to take any stringent measures despite several complaints from the fans.
