Ticket-holders of rained out India-Oz ODI turned away, as they only have counterfoil and not full ticket

After the November 11 India-Australia match was rained out, the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) had promised that all ticket-holders would be given a full refund.

Even advertisements that the MCA put out mentioned that all those who had a valid paid ticket would get their money back before December 31.

But yesterday, thousands of ticket-holders were refused a refund at Wankhede staidum, as they only had a counterfoil.

The other half of the ticket had been torn out by the gatekeeper at Nerul's D Y Patil stadium on the day of the match.
