In a media conference held on Monday, the Celebrity Management Group (CMG), the people behind the friendlies, announced a few details of the itinerary of the teams.
“The teams will be landing on August 30, and they will stay in the city for four days, till September 2,” announced Bhaswar Goswami of CMG.
“Nothing has been finalised as of now, but we have an overall blueprint. After their arrival, they will spend the next three days before the match in some charity events.
“We are thinking of organising a football clinic for talented kids selected from all across the country. They would be lucky to spend some time with Messi and the likes, which definitely would benefit them.”
“They will also have a practice session, for which tickets will be available to the public, as we cannot be expected to accommodate everyone for the September 2 tie,” he added.
The match timing and approximate ticket rates were also announced during the conference.
“The match should start at 7.00pm. Though we have not finalised the ticket prices, they should range from Rs 1000 to 5000,” Goswami said.
