Cricket World Cup fever has gripped India and at least the cricket-playing nations. As a result Kyazoonga, the official online ICC partner to sell Cricket World Cup tickets, witnessed the fever pitch levels of support amongst cricket fans as they rushed to Kyazoonga's website to book their World Cup final tickets online. Kyazoonga has a limited number of tickets of the World Cup final in Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium up for grabs.
But Kyazoonga's servers couldn't keep pace with the massive surge of traffic the website received just a few hours earlier when the online ticket booking gates were scheduled for opening. Kyazoonga's web-server couldn't load pages quick enough for the amount of visitors it received earlier today -- it's like a DDoS attack. Naturally, Kyazoonga went down.
According to a TOI report, only 1,000 tickets of the Cricket World Cup final are being sold online (through Kyazoonga), while an additional 3,000 will be sold to fans who queue up outside the stadium's ticket counters.
Alongside the Twitter message, Kyazoonga had this to say on its official Facebook fan page:
"We are facing absolutely unprecedented amounts of traffic from all over the world, with hundreds of millions of people hitting at once. Some of you may have trouble accessing the site. It seems that cricket fever has surpassed all anticipations and expectations. Please bear with us as our global network team works on bringing you the tickets you all have been waiting for."
A lot of cricket fans who were waiting to book their World Cup final tickets online are angry and voicing their frustration on Kyazoonga's Facebook page.
