Info and Advice please: Football match in Kolkata

Hi,

I am due to fly to Goa this Sunday
I have been doing some research on the internet and found the website for the East Bengal football club in Kolkata . There are playing a match on the 18th of March and I was wondering how to go about getting tickets. I say this because they play in a staduim which sits 120,000 people and coming from NZ I have always wanted to go too a mega stadium.

I know it would mean flying from Goa to Kolkata the next day but to be honest Goa does not interest me that much and from what I have read Kolkata sounds like a place I would like to explore. I have been to India before for two months but that was Delhi and up north.

any advice or infor would be great thanks

Cheers

Edited your thread title.

Vague and general thread titles rarely attract answers from the people who have them.

And... Welcome to the site

......
as far as i know, tickets are sold mostly to club supporters although i'm not aware of the exact mechanism ........... one suggestion is that you can write or call up East Bengal club officials and tell them your desire........

IMers from Kolkata may also come to your rescue

There are multiple counters , one will at be Stadium
(Salt lake stadium ) and others will be at Respective club
tents.
By the way if you could tell me the game between
East Bengal and which other club ? I might be able
give some concrete answer by Tomorrow.
