The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) franchise has decided to refund the money collected from fans from their 2024 Unbox event. The annual RCB Unbox function was recently staged at the iconic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on March 19.

A legion of fans attended the venue to grace the event, while several others viewed the proceedings through live streaming on the RCB app. While the fans were charged Rs.99 to view the Unbox event via streaming, the telecast itself faced technical difficulties owing to its “extreme demand”.
