Explaining the structure of ticket sales, Dilsher Khanna, secretary of the PCA, told The Indian Express:

“We have sold around 40 per cent of the capacity of the IS Bindra PCA International Stadium through online sales already. This was the first lot of tickets allocated to the online platform on Monday.”

“The PCA will offer the remaining 10 per cent of the total ticket sale on Tuesday, ten percent on Wednesday, and ten percent on Thursday.”

PCA decided to switch their ticket sales completely online, with the stadium only granting tickets to those who qualified under the student category.

“The rest 30 per cent of tickets are the student tickets, which will be sold through counters at the stadium, and complimentary passes. We will ask the online platforms about the lag/delay in the ticketing process today and hopefully it will be resolved, ”Khanna added.

The first match between India and Australia will be played at the IS Bindra International Stadium in Mohali, and the remaining two matches will be played in Visakhapatnam and Hyderabad.

Australia has won their last three T20Is against India away from home, including a 2-0 series win here in 2019. However, India won the last match between the two teams in March 2016 in Mohali.
