Notwithstanding the recent controversies engulfing the Commonwealth Games, over Rs 18 crore worth of tickets for the sporting event have been sold so far, an official said.
"We have so far sold tickets worth USD four million," IRCTC's General Manager-Operations, Sanjay Aggarwal, told PTI here.
IRCTC had in March this year bagged the contract to be the official online ticketing agency for the games to be held between October 3-14 in New Delhi.
Aggarwal said the maximum number of tickets sold are for the opening and the closing ceremonies of the sporting extravaganza.
"It is obvious...more than the individual event venues, sales for the grand ceremonies are higher...you have spectacular events and artistes like A R Rehman performing at the ceremonies," he said.
Tickets for the opening and closing ceremonies are priced between Rs 750-Rs 50,000 each.
