KyaZoonga sells all tickets for Sachin’s match within 15 hours
MUMBAI: Within 15 hours Kyzoonga.com, the official online ticketing partner for Mumbai Cricket Association’s (MCA) 2nd India vs West Indies Test match, which will also pull down the curtains on Sachin Tendulkar’s illustrious international Test career, sold all the allotted tickets for the match.
Apparently, the site had crashed within minutes of opening sales on Monday because of heavy online traffic. The site witnessed close to 20 million hits in the first hour itself. The website remained clogged till very late as all the cricketing fans wanted to book a ticket for the over-hyped match. According to reports, the site had only 6,000 tickets for sale for the general public for the master blaster’s last match.
However, the objective of the organisers was to ensure wider reach and also that no person was allotted more than two tickets.
The buyers who have been successful in booking tickets can start collecting their tickets now from the Mumbai Hockey Association counters, next to Wankhede Stadium. Customers are required to get the validation documents as outlined on the site and on their confirmation page.
The buyers, who couldn’t book the tickets successfully but have seen a balance deduction, will be refunded soon.
MUMBAI: From flights to tracks, Cleartrip is now trying to keep every journey on the same ticket. Cleartrip, part of Flipkart, has launched train ticket bookings through a partnership with Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation, marking its entry into India’s vast rail travel ecosystem.
The integration allows users to search, book and manage train journeys directly within the app, as the company pushes towards becoming a unified, multi-modal travel platform. The move plugs Cleartrip into one of the world’s largest transportation networks, where over 800 million reserved passengers travel annually, alongside a daily footfall of around 23 million across Indian Railways.
The offering includes bookings across routes nationwide, covering General and Tatkal quotas as per Ministry of Railways guidelines. Users can also access real-time seat availability, fare insights, PNR status tracking, berth preferences and digital payment options within a single interface.
The expansion reflects a broader shift in travel platforms from specialising in a single mode to stitching together end-to-end journeys. For Cleartrip, the bet is not just on scale, but on simplifying a system often seen as complex and fragmented.
Company executives said the focus is on embedding predictive intelligence and personalisation into the booking journey, aiming to make everything from discovery to post-booking support faster and more intuitive.
The train booking feature is currently live on the app, with plans to extend it to the web platform soon, signalling a push towards a seamless cross-platform experience.
In a country where railways move billions each year, the next battleground for travel apps may well be decided not in the skies, but on the tracks.
