Black Marketeers are making merry ahead of MS Dhoni's final league match at Chepauk. These scamsters are reaping huge profits by using hordes of people to buy tickets for them, just to sell them at much higher prices.
As per an Indian Express report, hordes of people including daily wagers, college goers and daily wagers gather outside the Chepauk stadium to buy tickets for Chennai Super Kings' next match.
The report highlights how black marketeers pay a certain amount to the people standing in queues, in turn, they give the tickets to racketeers.
Images posted by journalist Venkata Krishna B show hundreds of women in queues behind the barricades outside Pattabhiraman gate of the MA Chidambaram stadium. In the caption, Krishna B wrote, 'most of these women are getting paid rs 800 to stand in queues and pass on tickets to black market racketeers who sell Rs 1,500 tickets for 5000 and 2000 ticket for an excess of 6500'
While the report suggests that the crowd has gathered to buy the tickets for CSK's next match, they are unaware of CSK's opponent in their upcoming league game.
Apparently, since the start of IPL 2023, MS Dhoni's retirement has been the most discussed topic and going by the rumours, this might be the Chennai skipper's final league game at Chepauk.
