With the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2015 fast approaching, excitement among the fans is gaining momentum with thousands across the country anxiously awaiting the moment to pocket their tickets for the matches in Guyana.

The OPCO Office on Middle Street, Georgetown, which usually houses the central Ticket Centre, will become operational on June 15.

In the meantime however, tickets for the four games in Guyana and all other matches across the region can be snapped up online by visiting the official site: www.cplt20.com.

According to the website, family packages are available where two children will be admitted free, while there will also be 15 percent off for four-match season ticket.

The National Stadium at Providence will host four games in July with the Guyana Amazon Warriors involved in all the matches, against 2013 champions Jamaica Tallawahs on the 15th at 18:00h, St Lucia Zouks on the 17th at 20:00h, defending champions Barbados Tridents on the 18th at 16:00h and Trinidad and Tobago Red Steel on the 21st at 18:00h.

Tickets for the highly anticipated semi-finals and grand final are also on sale, and those can be bought online at the CPL site. Prices start at US$12.50 for the semi-finals, and US$15 for the final.

Damien O’Donohoe, Chief Executive Officer of CPL, said: “CPL is always the hottest ticket in town. We know that all three games will be a sellout at the Queen’s Park Oval, so I urge fans to book early to avoid disappointment. We can’t wait to see who will be battling it out in the finals in front of what is bound to be a fantastic crowd at one of the Caribbean’s most iconic venues.”

Global superstars including Kevin Pietersen, Jacques Kallis and Shahid Afridi will join the Caribbean’s finest cricketers, like Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard and Sunil Narine and exciting up-and-coming local talent.

Last year’s tournament attracted a global audience in excess of 65 million and this year is set to be even higher as fans across the world continue to be drawn to the high quality action on the pitch and the unique party atmosphere off it.

The tournament will run from June 20 to July 26.
