Perhaps that is why banks on Wednesday in Lahore saw long queues where fans from across the province waited to get their hands on the tickets for PSL Final set to be held on Sunday, March 5 at the Gaddafi Stadium<br \/>\nCricket enthusiasts said that they had queued as early as 7:00 am outside the bank. Many expressed their dismay over the fact that banks were not selling the cheapest tickets which cost Rs500.<br \/>\nOn Tuesday PCB Chairman Shahryar Khan announced that 1000 tickets will be sold for Rs500. The other tickets are pricey ranging from Rs4000 to Rs12000.<br \/>\nClashes were reported near Liberty market where police had to be called in to control the crowd which was angry at what they said was \u201cnon-cooperation\u201d of the bank.<br \/>\nTickets for the Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis enclosures are quite pricey. Each ticket is worth Rs 12,000 yet that has not stopped fans from stopping short of booking a berth for the Pakistan Super League second edition final.<br \/>\nOnline tickets for the Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis enclosures have completely sold out. Online tickets were available for cricket enthusiasts for the final from Tuesday, February 28.<br \/>\nThe decision to conduct the PSL 2 final in Lahore was taken during a meeting of the Provincial Cabinet Committee on Law and Order. The decision was taken after Shahbaz Sharif consulted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. Addressing the meeting, Shahbaz said foolproof security would be ensured for the PSL. He directed the cabinet committee to make best arrangements and review security and other measures on daily basis. He said he would personally monitor the progress regularly.<br \/>\nForeign players associated with the Quetta Gladiators have refused to play the final of the Pakistan Super League in Lahore, sources privy to the development told Geo News.<br \/>\nIn tweets shortly after the Gladiators win against Zalmi in Sharjah, star batsman Kevin Pietersen, Luke Wright and Tymal Mills confirmed their unavailability for PSL`s final in Lahore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LAHORE: Cricket is serious business in Pakistan.
