Spectators will be allowed to fill up half of the Salt Lake Stadium during ATK Mohun Bagan’s AFC Cup preliminary round two clash against Sri Lanka’s Blue Star SC on Tuesday. Tickets are being sold online in the denominations of Rs 300 and Rs 500, said an official of the local organising committee.

“There will be about 33,000 seats which will be available to fill, out of which 10,000 are for the Mohun Bagan members and the remaining are up for sale,” the official told PTI. Welcoming the decision, ATKMB head coach Juan Ferrando said: “I hope the Mariners will come to watch our game, filling the gallery. The support of the Green Maroon members on the field will inspire us.
