There is another IPL controversy in which news paper claimed that due to final some fake tickets were given to audience.
CSA said in a statement that its investigation followed a newspaper article on Monday which quoted the stadium's CEO, Alan Khourie, as stating that the stadium had been dangerously overcrowded for the IPL final because of the use of fake tickets.
The investigation findings were released Wednesday by CSA CEO, Gerald Majola, who said the ticketing and access control systems at the final were provided by national ticket outlet Computicket and CSA to the stadium respectively.
Majola said: "In 2003, CSA implemented an access control system at all major cricket venues through South Africa. This system has been upgraded since then, and we are very proud to say that we are the only sporting body in South Africa with such a comprehensive and effective access control system."
"Computicket managed to recover the so-called 'fraudulent' tickets, to which the article referred, from the Liberty Life Wanderers Cricket Stadium - totalling 327 tickets. On checking these tickets it was discovered that 177 tickets were stolen from Computicket, 66 tickets were stolen from those allocated to the stadium and 144 were actually tickets for the semi-final."
Majola said the official attendance at the stadium for the DLF IPL final was 25,418 as recorded by the access control system: "If the stadium did in fact have more spectators than this, these patrons would have had to access the stadium via entrances not controlled by the access control system.
"CSA's investigation shows that if there was overcrowding, it could not have been caused by the use of fraudulent tickets. Illegal access could only have been gained through entrances outside of the access control system and these entrances fall under the control and jurisdiction of the stadium management."
The stadium is managed by the Gauteng Cricket Board, of which Khourie is the head.

Contorvrsies In IPL-2
Fake IPL Player:
The lordie and the Phoren Babas. The Coachie and Kan Moolo along with Little John and Badshah D*&#o, all of these characters became the part of a blog which exclusively focused on SRK’s Kolkata Knight Riders. Most of the players in the team were given pseudo-names. The blog aimed to provide the inside scoop on the KKR’s. And in the words of the anonymous blogger, it said,” I will be bringing to you the "aankhon dekha haal", right from inside the dressing room, meeting room and players' bedrooms ;-).”
The blogs had no qualms in calling SRK a megalomaniac and named him Badshah D*&#o. Ganguly had been aptly coined as Lordie, the guy who is in constant altercation with the Badshah and the Coachie ( John Buchanan). The Phoren Babas point to the foreign support staff that the KKR team has in their camp.
The posts on the site became yet another headache for King Khan and the managers of his team. The blog writer called himself ‘Fake IPL Player’ and his blog took pot-shots against the senior members, the coach and the support contingent. The blog came to be raging success within a few days of its appearance on the internet.
Multi Captaincy Theory:
The theory fell flat in the Knight Rider’s performance too followed the same trend. A brainwave of coach John Buchanan, it created tons of controversy right from the time it was announced.
A grim looking Ganguly got the thunder-bolt at the press conference itself. Sunil Gavaskar gave out his opinion on the Buchanan’s theory and was lashed in the media by the team owner. It is another matter that SRK was sensible enough to apologize to the little master.
The theory though was never set into practice on the field. The captaincy of the team was given to Brendon McCullum. Buchanan’s idea was to to distribute the leadership role in the team but it seemed that not many players liked the idea of four captains in the team. Chris Gayle was seen to be supporting the theory along with India’s Ishant Sharma. Later the lanky lad refused to stick along with Buchanan’s theory.
Everyone seemed confused and the theory did nothing more than generate bickering and disputes. The IPL 2009 will be remembered for the way the KKR played and of all the issues that the team created off the field the ‘multiple-captaincy’ dud will be in the memory for a long time.
Strategy Break:
This strategy had the name of Lalit ‘IPL’ Modi wriiten on it. When poked about the time-out break , Shane Warne said, "It doesn't matter who is batting, Sachin (Tendulkar) or anybody else; you just lose momentum. But if you are behind, you can actually regroup and refocus to work out what you should actually do on the field and then go out and do it. "
The ace spinner also added, "From a purely cricketing point of view, I don't think it works, but from a commercial point of view, I'm sure it works very well." Warne added. The seven-and-a-half minute strategy break allows for IPL organisers to sell advertising for a reported Rs.4,000 per 10 seconds.
The whole issue generated heated controversy with players and coaches saying it was a distraction and affects the flow of the match. Former player and ex-selector VB Chandrasekar, who heads Chennai Super Kings' cricket operations,was far from amused with the break. "The 7-1/2 minute break after 10 overs is quite a distraction and comes in the way of valuable momentum..." Chandrasekar said.
All through this the IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi kept on insisting that the break was introduced to allow teams to strategies, most believe the innovation was aimed at providing the broadcaster extra slots for commercials.
IPL SMS Game:
Concerned about the "commercial use of cricket for business gains", Sports Minister MS Gill criticised the BCCI for introducing an IPL SMS game which requires fans to make ball by ball predictions for cash prizes in the ongoing Indian Premier League.
"This is viewed as 'openly encouraging gambling and betting', which official bodies do not resort to, even in countries where betting is legal; all this 'to make money and enlarge their TV viewership base'," the minister added.
Former India skipper Dilip Vengsarkar joined Sports Minister M S Gill in slamming the IPL organisers for introducing an SMS game in the second edition of the event, saying it affected the sanctity of the game.
Saying that betting in cricket was a very old phenomenon, and need not be confused with match-fixing, the former chief selector said, "I support Mr Gill partially. We should not stoop so low which will affect the sanctity of cricket".
The controversial SMS game was later discontinued with the games' inventors taking note of the apprehensions expressed by Sports Minister M S Gill and many former cricketers. Although no pressure was put for the game to be withdrawn, the organisers decided to stop it with immediate effect.
More than 4 Foreigners:
Never short of ideas, Kolkata Knight Riders coach John Buchanan has now floated the idea of having more than four foreign players in the playing XI of the Indian Premier League sides.
Buchanan said he had raised the issue with the IPL authorities and was hopeful that if not this season, such a thing would be allowed in the third edition of the Twenty20 league.
Later on, Delhi Daredevils coach Greg Shipperd also pitched for an additional foreigner in some of the games to spice up the Indian Premier League in future.
The growing clamour for more than four foreign cricketers in the playing XI notwithstanding, Indian Premier League Chairman and Commissioner Lalit Modi has ruled out any such possibility.
"We have had quite few requests from the franchises on that. For the moment we will have only four overseas players in a playing XI," Modi said before the first semifinal game.

Shane warne What u did ?? Rajastan Royal will be in trouble..
It seems that the IPL just can't stay away from IPL controversies. The latest one to hit the cricket extravaganza is an incident involving the Australian legend and Rajasthan Royal captain Shane Warne.
Every one in the IPL stadium can drink, but not players.
During the strategy break, Warne was spotted on the boundary line taking a little sip of beer which was given to him by a spectator.
Cricket fans around the world witnessed 'Warne's beer-consuming act. caught as the cameras caught it alive. Though it was not repeated on TV channels, IPL officals did admit to the incident happening.
Some of the cricket journals and sites have already questioned Warne's ethics and conduct on cricket ground and the issue is now blown out of proportion.
Some of the cricket channels even said that Shane Warne being cricket legend and a role model and he shouldn't behave this way. 'Warne 'role model'....biggest joke of the year'.
When the Rajasthan Royals team owner Shilpa Shetty was asked about this, she said he was just having fun, and there was no need really for any controversy.
But is it really such a huge, unforgivable offense? Its not as if he was drunk and making a scene on the field. Besides, isn't T20 seen as a crowd-pleaser version of cricket, and there's a lot more room for having fun and interacting with the crowds.
But what will happen to Rajastan Royals now? If their captain is banned then who will be next captain?? and Will they able to win matches?? Because everybody knows about Warne's strategy. And Main thing he is the coach of that team!! Now RR is going to see a bad IPL if Warne is banned.
Some are saying that he has hampered the IPL brand. Is it so??

The moment of truth! It is Wednesday today!
Congratulations on your team’s fantastic performance against Chennai. That was quiet unbelievable. While you were sitting at the dugout and looking for mistakes to criticise, and trying to overhear what other people are talking, Mc’cullum and Hodge (phoren babas in your language) were trying their best to give some pride to your side. Learn something from them!
You were using the computer in the dressing room? You think we are fools to believe that?
I am sorry for Mr. Shahrukh Khan for having to feed snakes like you. I hope he terminates the contracts of all the Indian players who are in the squad at the moment and build a new squad without poisonous snakes like you. I can understand the frustration of a benchwarmer, but this is not the way to express it. Calling people names, write dirty stuff about players’ private life etc. I hope Mr. Shahrukh Khan and all the others who are affected by your comments treat you properly once you reveal your identity. Even I would like to throw a rotten tomato or two right on your face!
You said Bangalore is going to lose all the rest of their matches, but see what happened yesterday? You better not say anything anymore, because most of the stuff you predict is wrong. May be the dirty stuff about players’ private life must be false too. Who knows!
May be it is a little late, but take my advice, go and practice what ever you are supposed to do for the team, and do something in return to all the favours you received from the unfortunate owners of your team. You yourself said, that Mr. Shahrukh Khan is paying even for your chaddies! Show some gratitude. Stop this blog!
I must say that your blog helped to create some sympathy amongst readers for our own Sreesanth. I recently watched an interview of Sreesanth in manorama news for a programme called“the newsmaker”. After watching that I honestly felt that he deserves a lot of the stoning he already gets from public.
I like the language and sense of humour, but there ends my admiration towards you. I hate you for what you do, and I hope you are punished properly for what you did to cricket and to our players.
It seems you are targeting few players, mainly the youngsters like ishant, uthapa, sreesanth, kohli, dinda, goswamy etc. It seems you are a green eyed monster who is boiling is jealousy towards other young players who are successful and you are a total failure.
Keep giving info to the jobless journo, so that he can keep posting for you guys in the camp. At the end of the day, the readers are the winners. I still believe you will not disclose your identity. After all, it is a team work, with few hatred filled minds from inside the camp providing info to a jobless journo.
haha
who is operating the camera? he didnt even look right when he switched it off..
The guy speaking must be a commentator or a journalist.His "crew" of the blog along with the camera guy and the one holding scripts in front of him is of course not in SA now.
Not possible to record something like this there..
BS marketing ploy..and I fell for it :( !
