Cannot make it :(

Tried so much to be there for Sachin's 200 test match in Mumbai. Watching the entire match was of course not possible. Wanted to be there during the weekend i.e. 3rd and 4th day.

Contacted so many people for the tickets. Was looking for hospitality seats as they would have been comfortable especially on a short and hectic trip. Though its a test match and usually getting tickets is not an issue, it was proving to be difficult due to the significance of the match. Flight ticket was costly....INR 40K+ ....but I was prepared to spend that much to watch Sachin bat one last time.

It took almost a month but finally.....we got the tickets.  Not the hospitality ones but good seats. But these are not passes.....will have to shell out good money. Was still ok with it.....till I rechecked flight tickets. ~70K!!!!! Total trip would be around 85K. And would be able to watch only one day's play as the return flight is at 12:30pm.

Not going :( All the best Sachin.
