India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2024 Tickets Reach INR 1.86 Crore, Surpassing ODI World Cup Prices Threefold

In less than three months, the ICC T20 World Cup will take place, but the anticipation for the highly anticipated match between India and Pakistan has already created a lot of buzz. People in the US are nervous because of the soaring cost of tickets for the mother of all battles that are expected to arrive on US soil. Tickets for two of India’s matches—one against Pakistan on June 9 in New York and the other against Canada on June 15 in Florida—are reportedly already sold out and can be found on resale sites like StubHub and SeatGeek for more than twice their original price, with some going as high as INR 1.86 crore.

The lowest-priced ticket was INR 497, while the most costly ticket was INR 33,148 without taxes, according to the ICC website link which made ticket sales easier during the first phase. It was stated by the supreme body that “no additional fees will be imposed beyond the specified taxes.”. However, VIP tickets were being sold for rates as high as ₹33.15 lakh on these resale websites. Additionally, if the platform charge is included, the cost rises to around ₹41.44 lakh. The lowest-priced ticket for the India vs. Pakistan match is available on StubHub for ₹1.04 lakh, while the most expensive ticket available on SeatGeek is ₹1.86 crore, which includes the platform fee.

Tickets cost more than three times as much as the INDO-PAK World Cup 2023?

This is more than three times the most expensive ticket available on the secondary market for the India vs. Pakistan game at the 2023 ICC ODI World Cup. The most expensive ticket for the game was ₹57.15 lakh on Viagogo, which bills itself as the “world’s largest secondary marketplace for tickets to live events.”. On February 22, tickets for a limited number of matches went on sale as part of the public ballot window, with phase 1 of the 2024 T20 World Cup ticket sales beginning on a first-come, first-served basis. These tickets have entered the resale market in less than ten days, and as demand for them has grown—particularly in light of the highly anticipated match between India and Pakistan—prices have skyrocketed, on par with those of the NBA or Major League Baseball. According to the USA Today report, the average cost of World Series tickets was INR 91,175, NBA Finals courtside tickets nearly cost INR 20 lakh, and Super Bowl 58 tickets were INR 7.45 lakh.
