"It would be economical and definitely less than going to a movie, definitely less than watching other leagues. The idea is, you can watch a World Cup match in less than Rs 100," Tournament Director Javier Ceppi told reporters.
He did not reveal the exact price of the tickets which would be launched mid-May.
"We need to treat this as our first World Cup. It's is our first time to prove ourselves and push ourselves. We cannot use the past benchmarks or in other tournaments. Different countries have different realities.
The whole of Chile fits in Delhi, and Kolkata on a weekday. It's all of our responsibility. India have been waiting for this moment for so long. we can show good good party to the world.
“The interest from the states, sponsors, organisers and everybody, from every community be it football or arts or tourism is very different and the interest is quite a lot," he said.
Mighty impressed with the large scale renovation work going at the Saltlake Stadium, the Tournament Director said the venue would be ready well in advance and work would be 90 per cent complete when the final inspection takes place in March last week.
"We are extremely satisfied with the progress. It's very hard to realise the amount of progress this stadium has made since my last visit. We know everything is on track.
"This stadium is humongous, the capacity is coming down from 115,000 to 87,000. The work here takes time. The amount of progress we have seen since I visited last month is fantastic," he said.
"It would have been impossible to meet the January 31 deadline. But the stadium will be completed well in advance before the World Cup final inspection in the end of March. By that inspection 90-95 per cent of work will be done. There will be certain things like exterior painting will be left as monsoon may affect the progress. But the core infrastructure work will be done when FIFA inspects for the final time in March," he added.
No question of Delhi not hosting U17 WC matches: Ceppi
The Tournament Director of Local Organising Committee Javier Ceppi rubbished reports that FIFA U-17 World Cup matches scheduled in Delhi would be relocated but the post Diwali pollution is a factor when it comes to hosting marquee matches.
With Diwali slated October 19 this year, the air quality is a big concern for FIFA local organising committee after smog led to cancellation of two national championship cricket matches last year.
"It's nothing to do with Delhi hosting matches. Let me be very clear and straightforward, Delhi will host matches. There's no question of Delhi not hosting matches," Ceppi said.
"We have not said Delhi would not host marquee matches. We don't know yet. How does the pollution may impact Delhi's hosting matches post-Diwali, it's being analysed. What's being analysed now, we will see what measures to be taken post-Diwali.
"We will see what measures that can be taken for the air pollution post-Diwali so that it would have a lesser impact on the tournament," Ceppi said during his inspection in Kolkata.
The 24-team tournament will have 52 matches at six venues -- New Delhi, Navi Mumbai, Margao, Kochi, Guwahati and Kolkata which has emerged as the favourite to host the summit clash boasting India's largest 87,000 capacity.
