Low ticket prices at this year's inaugural ICC World Twenty20 tournament are seen as key to bringing crowds back to International Cricket Council events, according to Cricket South Africa chief Gerald Majola.

"We've looked at the two previous ICC events - the World Cup in the Caribbean and the Champions Trophy in India - and in my opinion they were not successful," Majola told reporters yesterday.

"So we need to take care of those pitfalls in South Africa and make sure the stadia are full."

Hosted in South Africa from Sept. 11-24, the World Twenty20 will see 10 full members of the ICC and associate members Kenya and Scotland taking part.
