Ticket prices for the India-Pakistan match at the upcoming ICC World Cup 2023 have surged to unprecedented levels.
Official outlets quickly sold out their available tickets within just one hour on both August 29 and September 3. Nevertheless, a report from NDTV reveals that certain tickets are still accessible on the secondary market but at exorbitant prices.
“For instance, a South Premium West Bay ticket is currently listed at an astonishing ₹19.5 lakh on Viagogo, an online sports ticket platform,” the NDTV report stated.
“There are only two tickets remaining for the upper tier, offering an unobstructed view, and they are being sold for an astonishing ₹57 lakh each,” it added.
This has sparked anger and disappointment among fans, who are concerned that they will not be able to afford to watch the match. The price surge has also raised questions about the accessibility of cricket for fans.
