Trying to get free tickets for the ongoing Women's Premier League online but can't manage to lay your hands on any? Outside Brabourne Stadium, these tickets are being sold for anything between Rs 200 to Rs 500. This reporter found several jersey and flag vendors as well as tattoo makers, including kids, selling free tickets for the Gujarat Giants vs UP Warriorz match right under the nose of the Mumbai police on Monday. 

Three groups were selling tickets, a limited amount of which have been made available via certain sites, at gate number 11 and 12. The touts claimed that they earn more than R10,000 per day selling tickets outside the stadium at Veer Nariman Road, Churchgate. Some also stated that on the weekends, tickets are sold at higher rates. When this reporter asked them how they managed to get the tickets, they replied that they booked them online.
