"Only 30,000 tickets have been released for the opening ceremony. This however also includes BCCI complimentary and hospitality area tickets," IPL governing council member and CAB joint secretary Subir Ganguly said.
The opening ceremony will have a rich Bollywood flavour and the starcast includes Hrithik Roshan, Shahid Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Farhan Akhtar among others.
The galleries that would be opposite to the stage would be closed making it a reduced 30,000 capacity.
