That's really a good marketing strategy as well as it gives an overview that BCCI is giving importance to Women. I find this to be good initiative, and this needs to continue in the upcoming years of WIPL. Only thing annoying is the number of teams. If they've planned better, surely more teams would've got into the league. Anyhow it is just the beginning for another big league of the future. Cheesy

True, Although at the start it was looking right decision but after seeing how many players went unsold in the auction, it felt like they were a couple of teams short.

Normally gate collection hardly generates big profits (unless tickets are pricy) and sometimes it's pocket change for the BCCI so better to pack stands with free women's entry and earn some points.

Also, the packed stadium looks good on tele and it seems their main aim is to bring more women into the stadium, which is a very good sign for women's cricket or women's sports in general.

For the initial 2-3 years, maybe BCCI can toy with the idea of providing free entry to a limited number of fans (especially students). But gate collection is not that insignificant. I don't know how much the tickets for WPL is going to cost, but IPL tickets are priced from ₹800 to ₹35,000 (for matches involving Mumbai Indians at Wankhede stadium). Assuming an average of ₹2,000 per viewer, if 25,000 fans attend the match, the gate collection will amount to ₹50,000,000 per match. After tax and all the cuts, it should be enough to at least pay for the security and other expenses. And don't think that people are not interested in women's cricket. There is a surge in popularity within India recently.

I think atm tickets are dirt cheap for WPL but they should continue this strategy of free tickets. Their main source of revenue is media rights anyway, which earned them enough amount so they can afford it easily.

WPL is about to start tomorrow, with the first match between Gujarat Giants Women and Mumbai Indians Women at the DY Patil stadium in Mumbai. Difficult to pick a side here, as both of them have very good players. Gujarat Giants have heavyweights such as Harleen Deol, Sophia Dunkley, Ashleigh Gardner, Sneh Rana and Georgia Wareham. Mumbai Indians squad include talented players such as Harmanpreet Kaur, Yastika Bhatia, Heather Graham, Amelia Kerr, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Chloe Tryon, Issy Wong and Pooja Vastrakar.

What a Fantastic Marketing Strategy by BCCI!

WPL will commence on the 4th of March and tickets are now available for purchase on the BookMyShow app. Tickets are priced at INR 100 & INR 400 respectively. What made me my day was when I saw on the app that tickets are free for women on a first come first basis. Do you think any other board can beat this marketing strategy?

I guess it's fair to say that BCCI knows how to present and sell a product.

This strategy is going to be really hard to beat. And the BCCI knows very well that there will be a lot less spectators on the ground to see women playing cricket. So making a certain number of tickets free is going to ensure that there are of course people on the ground watching the games. This way the tickets are also going to be sold out. I mean the tickets would have been sold out anyway in my opinion. But this "free" idea is going to keep people more interested.

First, it is a strategy to encourage women in women's cricket. BCCI knows very well that the more women are encouraged the better women cricketers will be produced. Moreover, maybe they are adopting this strategy to popularize this league. They will observe how the attendance of the spectators will be in the field. Maybe as a strategy BCCI is trying to fill their gallery more with women spectators as they know ICC will be keeping a close eye on it. In this regard they will be completely successful.

Today few more things have been added to the ticketing. I checked with the terms and no more possibility to book through Bookmyshow. It shows Closed and does this mean that the tickets for the opening ceremony and the inauguration match is already filled. If so, the response is really good for WPL.

It is a good marketing strategy hoping that Women will be flocking into the stadium to witness these events because they need a grand opening with a full capacity crowd and they need to excite the fans to have purchasing power for the BCCI later on. Globally the complaint by Women athletes are that they are not getting equal pay as men ignoring the fact that Women are not able to pull in the same revenue but if WIPL can excite fans then it will be a great beginning for Women's sports.

The CEO of South African Cricket, Pholetsi Moseki says they, along with the commissioner of the SA20 Graeme Smith, have intentions of establishing a women's version of the T20, but they need more teams before they can implement it.

Source : https://www.sowetanlive.co.za/sport/cricket/2023-03-01-we-need-more-players-for-us-to-implement-womens-t20-moseki/

I watched many of the World Cup matches and I agree with him that the quality of the cricket are high enough to merit a T20 tournament. I think this world cup in South Africa sparked a lot of interest in the game for many women en school kids, so we might see something in the future. Wink

I don't understand the sudden interest being shown by some of these boards in establishing women's franchise leagues. 15 years ago, when the ECB and CA invested heavily in franchise leagues for women, the other boards were making fun of them. Now they have noticed that these two teams (Australia and England) are dominating women's cricket because of that visionary step. BTW, I don't know how the CSA will get any profits out of this league. Even their men's league (SA20) is struggling to make profits.

Yeah, these guys are late and kinda missed a trick but at least they are waking up now and it's a big positive for Women's cricket, so I won't criticize them as it's better late than never.

I think it's already established that no one expects massive returns on Women's cricket (financially), self-sustainability is everyone's main goal and they should cross the line with a better products.

Main reason for these cricket boards to show interest in women's cricket is the start of women's IPL in my opinion. With the certain popularity of women's IPL, more and more cricket boards are going to arrange women's T20 leagues. And that is going to bring in good revenue.

If we talk about profits, I am quite certain that in some way South Africa will find a way to actually find profit. At this moment even I am not sure how. But it is going to be tough. In a country where men cricketers are very popular and still not being able to generate a good amount of money, it is going to be hard for women to bring profit for sure.

That's true this world cup is a reminder for all women cricket boards and their countries that Australia and England are dominating in cricket world and winning again and again, so they are thinking to work on their women teams to improve standards and bringing trophies to home.

South Africa women team have shown great improvement and performance in recent World Cup.
