"When ticket lines opened this morning there were literally thousands in the queue waiting to register to purchase tickets for the event in June next year".

"I am told by Ticketmaster, who are handling the tickets, that the demand has been the equivalent of that for a Robbie Williams or Madonna concert. It is that huge so we apologise to those who couldn’t get through or who have been waiting in the queue for some time".

"Ticket prices have been tailored to ensure as many people as possible can afford to watch the 17-day, 27-match, 12-team event that also includes an eight-team women’s tournament, with 15 matches in 11 days, running alongside it".

"A key feature of the 2009 event is that 20 of the match-days will include two games showcasing four international teams. This double-header format allows spectators to view two games for the price of one match-day ticket".

Twenty20 cricket has attracted massive global interest this year with the launch of the Indian Premier League and the announcement of a lucrative eight-team Champions League.
