Supervisory Ticketing Staff Meet for ICC CWC 2007 Match-Day Planning

Ticketing officials from the nine Local Organizing Committees (LOCs) and ICC Cricket World Cup West Indies 2007 have wrapped up procedures and policies for Ticketing operations on Match Day.

On Match Day, Ticketing operations will naturally have to integrate with other functional areas such as Security, Event Management and Venue Development. This process was the focus of the workshop which was attended by ICC CWC 2007 Ticket Centre Supervisors from the nine Host Venues as well as staff from CWC’s Ticketing Unit.

During the workshop, participants also discussed the operation of the Access Control system which will be in place at stadiums. This encompasses turnstiles, an electronic bar-code reader (attached to the turnstiles) and a connection from the bar-code reader into CWC’s Ticketing database.

The representatives of the LOCs were also shown samples of CWC tickets and had various security features outlined to them. Within the next month, fans worldwide will start receiving their tournament tickets as the event starts March 5 with a series of warm-up fixtures.
