The upcoming World Cup in 2023, set to take place in India, has witnessed exorbitant ticket prices for the highly anticipated match between Pakistan and India.
According to a report by the Indian news agency News 18, there is an overwhelming demand for tickets among fans eager to witness the clash between these traditional rivals. Tickets for this marquee match have reportedly been offered for sale at a staggering price of 19 lakh Indian rupees on the global online platform Viagogo. Remarkably, all available tickets for this crucial encounter were sold out within a mere six-hour span.
The report goes on to reveal that Viagogo still has over 100 tickets available for purchase, with prices reaching into the millions of rupees. Moreover, ticket prices for other matches involving the Indian team have also soared to astronomical levels. For instance, tickets for the England vs. India match are being sold for more than 2 lakh 34 rupees, while the India vs. Australia match in Chennai has tickets priced from a starting point of Rs 31,340, going up to an astonishing Rs 9,31,295.
It’s worth noting that both India and Pakistan, arch-rival cricket teams, are scheduled to compete at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad on October 14 as part of this highly anticipated tournament.
