To facilitate the purchase of tickets for passengers after the match, a separate ticket counter for paper tickets priced at Rs. 50 will be made available at the Motera Stadium metro station. This will allow passengers to quickly and efficiently purchase their paper tickets for the metro ride back to their destinations after the match.
