Dancing? So they actually do sell beer at these sporting events.

I really want to go to the test in Bangalore. Do these test matches tend to sell out? And where do you get tickets from?

G'Day sonod,

Test matches very rarely sell out in India.

If you go you won't have any problems getting a Ticket.

If you can get to Bangalore a couple of days Prior to the start
go to the Chinnaswamy Stadium and enquire about Tickets.

All the best

No worries matey.

Yes it is rumoured it could be last Test in Bangalore for a few of them,Sachin,Dravid,Laxman,Pont ing and more than likely Mike Hussey also.

Not sure if youv'e arranged any Accom as yet, a group of guys whom I met last time in Bangalore for the cricket stayed at the
Empire Hotel.

I hope to be purchasing a Ticket for the Entire test in one of the Main stands, however I will still go to the Mosh pit on the Sunday(2nd day)

I'll probably be staying at the Stadium again.
