Safe IND vs BAN Tickets Purchase – Trusted Sites and Sellers List

Alright, let me tell you about my mess trying to get IND vs BAN tickets last week. Total nightmare at first.

Why I Started Digging

Heard about the match dates and jumped straight online. Googled something like “buy India Bangladesh tickets now” like an idiot. First page showed all these flashy sites with “Official Partner” badges. Clicked one claiming 50% discounts.

  • Red Flag 1: Payment page looked sketchy – asked for bank transfer only
  • Red Flag 2: Seller kept texting me for “security deposit” upfront
  • Red Flag 3: Zero physical address or helpline number anywhere

Got suspicious and bailed. Next day, saw three people crying in fan groups about losing money to that same site. Felt like an escape.

Figuring Out Legit Options

Asked my cricket-mad uncle where he booked. Turns out he only uses three places:

  • SportSell (their physical counter’s at Marina Stadium)
  • BookMyGame (requires verified fan ID)
  • TeamTix (sends SMS with QR codes instantly)

Reached out to these sellers directly:

  • Rahul Agencies near Churchgate – cash payments only with paper receipts
  • Paras Sports – makes you register phone number before viewing seats

How I Finally Scored

Went with BookMyGame after checking their legit physical office. Process:

1. Logged into my fan account

2. Selected “verified resale” section

3. Paid UPI to their business account (not personal number!)

4. Got ticket PDF with hologram stamp in 20 minutes

5. Cross-checked barcode at stadium counter next day – valid!

Seller Checklist That Worked

Trust anyone only if they have:

  • Physical shops you can visit
  • No direct Whatsapp payments allowed
  • Visible GST number on receipts
  • Seat selection before taking money
  • Fan forum recommendations with photos

Felt so damn relieved seeing that “Valid” stamp at the gate. Almost hugged the security guy. Save yourselves the heartache!
