India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2024 Tickets Skyrocket in Resale Market
The highly anticipated T20 World Cup 2024 match between India and Pakistan has sparked a frenzy in the ticket market, with prices reaching astronomical figures on resale platforms.
The official ticket sale offered prices ranging from $6 to $400, with the most expensive seats for the India-Pakistan encounter priced at $400. However, on resale sites like StubHub and SeatGeek, prices have soared to unprecedented levels.
Tickets originally priced at $400 are now being sold for a staggering $40,000, with platform fees pushing the total cost to $50,000. This exceeds the average ticket price for Super Bowl 58 ($9,000) and courtside seats for NBA finals ($24,000).
On SeatGeek, the costliest ticket for the India-Pakistan match has been listed for an astonishing $175,000. With platform charges and additional fees, the total cost balloons to approximately $1.86 crore.
The high demand for tickets reflects the intense rivalry between India and Pakistan, which has made their encounters some of the most eagerly anticipated events in cricket. The fact that the two teams rarely play bilateral series due to political tensions further fuels the excitement and demand for tickets.
The astronomical prices have raised concerns about accessibility for fans who may not be able to afford the exorbitant resale prices. However, the high demand is unlikely to diminish, as the India-Pakistan match remains one of the most sought-after events in the cricketing world.
