The final will take place at the Eden Gardens on April 03 .

It was also decided that only 20 percent of the tickets will go for online sale . Out of which 10 percent will be reserved for international fans and supporters . Rest of the tickets will be sold via counter sales .
The tickets for the World Twenty20 are likely to go up for sale by the end of this week, with the BCCI saying it doesn't think it is too late for the tickets to be made available.
The first qualifier starts on March 8, but the Indian board is happy to have the tickets up for grabs a little under two months from the first match of the "main" tournament on March 15. However, when the schedule of the World Twenty20 was announced, the ICC insisted that the qualifying part of the tournament be called the first round of the tournament.
At any rate, India have set the record for putting the tickets up for sale with least amount of planning time available for the fans when it comes to world events.
Tickets in India generally go up for sale less than a week before international bilaterals or smaller tournaments. A huge chunk of the tickets is anyway not put up for sale with local associations handing them out for free to their members and influential people in their constituencies.
