Free tickets are a great move to attract crowds. But I hope the stadium facilities in Ranchi are improved from last time. The seating and food stalls need better management.

Dilip Tirkey and Bhola Nath Singh are legends. If they are behind this, it must be for the good of hockey. Hope this helps find the next Dhyan Chand from a small town.

Interesting strategy. Free tickets might hurt short-term revenue but could pay off long-term by creating a bigger market. Will be watching the league's progress.
