ICC World Cup 2023: Cricket fans fume as ticket prices soar for India vs. Pakistan clash

• There is a high demand for India vs. Pakistan World Cup tickets.
• The secondary market sees a significant price surge in tickets.
• Prices range from INR 65,000 to 4.5 lakh for the India vs. Pakistan match.

As the highly anticipated ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 approaches, cricket fans are growing increasingly excited about the much-anticipated clash between Pakistan and India.

Cricket enthusiasts are eager to secure tickets to witness the thrilling match live at the stadium. However, when ticket sales went live last week, the primary outlets sold out within just one hour, particularly on August 29 and September 3.

In the secondary market, ticket prices experienced a significant surge, sparking outrage among social media users.

For instance, a South Premium West Bay ticket is currently listed at a staggering INR 1,950,000 on an online sports ticket platform, as reported by Indian media. The remaining two tickets for the upper tier, which offer unobstructed views, are being sold for an astonishing INR 5,700,000 each.

These exorbitant prices have left everyone astonished, and social media users are expressing their frustration and criticism toward these sellers.

Here is what Twitterati say;

“What is happening? World Cup tickets for India vs. Pakistan range from 65,000 to 4.5 lakh [450,000] “per ticket” on the website! Daylight robbery from these corporations!”
