“We have sold over nine lakh tickets and collected Rs 32 crore as revenue from ticket sales,” OC Secretary General Lalit Bhanot told reporters here.
He said the OC has given Delhi Government complimentary passes to be handed over to schools. NGOs are also being given free tickets.
Bhanot said many events have attracted large crowds but tickets for competitions like net ball and archery have not sold out.
