IND vs PAK World Cup ticket price explodes to INR 57 lakhs
Viagogo, which claims to be the “world’s largest secondary marketplace for tickets to live events", is among the few websites which have been selling tickets at a soaring rate.
The sale of tickets for all the warm-up and league stage matches for the 2023 ODI World Cup ended on September 3. BCCI, together with ICC, had constructed a unique approach to selling tickets online for Indian fans. Between August 25 and 29, the tickets were initially only available for users of Mastercard, ICC's commercial partner, before carrying out a phase-wise sale of tickets for general customers between August 30 and September 3. These were facilitated by BookMyShow, the official ticketing partner for the tournament.
Despite September 3 being the deadline day for the league matches through BookMyShow, the sale of tickets for World Cup matches continued in the secondary market where the ticket prices exploded to INR 57 lakhs.
