Hello, @sa23 

Welcome to the Rogers Community Forums!

The event should be available to order within 24 hours of the event start time from the Ignite TV guide.

If you are still having issues ordering by tomorrow morning please let us know so we can investigate it for you.

I hope that you enjoy the matches!

I find it absolutely not fair that we have to pay to watch cricket when all the other sports are aired constantly not just on sports channels but regular channels as well. After being able to watch all the matches on Willow TV why do we have to pay to watch the semi-finals and final?
There's a big following of cricket in Canada and we have a team as well. Put it on regular channels or show the entire tournament free. Don't take advantage and make money when we are already paying big bucks for your services and all we get are re-runs.

Hello, @Kvpatel 

Welcome to the Rogers Community Forums!

I completely understand where you are coming from. My father and I watch cricket together often and I too wish it was on the regular channels.

We will definitely pass along your feedback to the product managers to review.

We hope you enjoy the semi-finals and finals matches!
