Kolkata, Mar 9 Even as Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment gears up to host matches of BCCI's multi-million dollar Indian Premier League at the Eden Gardens here, the contentious issue of ticket distribution among Cricket Association of Bengal's affiliates and members is yet to be resolved.

On February 26, majority of CAB affiliates had demanded at a Special General Meeting that RCE provide a larger share of tickets, than the 20 per cent decreed by the IPL, to the CAB for distribution among the clubs, universities, the Office Sports Federation and the districts as well as life, annual and associate members for the matches slated to begin from April 18.

However, two days before SRK's arrival here for making major announcements regarding the jersey, nomenclature, and theme song of the Kolkata side, the dissidents today claimed they had no clue to "what happened to the demand voiced by the majority of members at the SGM." "Nothing seems to have happened after Feburary 26. I doubt whether even the office-bearers have any idea," ex-BCCI joint secretary and dissident leader Goutam Dasgupta told PTI.

"Majority of the units had expressed their view. It's now the duty of the powers-that-be to follow it up. But they seem to be keeping us in the dark on whether they have been able to persuade RCE or not or whether they have at all discussed the issue with RCE," he said.

With veteran cricket administrator Jagmohan Dalmiya leading the charge, the dissident lobby had argued that because of the large capacity (90,000) at the Eden, the RCE should not stick to the ticket distribution formula announced by IPL commissioner and chairman Lalit Modi. (Agencies)
