India vs Pakistan Clash: The Most Anticipated Match
The India vs Pakistan match, scheduled for June 9 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, is undoubtedly the highlight of the tournament.
The rivalry between these two cricket giants has always generated immense excitement, and this year is no different. Fans from both nations have shown their enthusiasm by purchasing tickets, despite their steep prices.
Ticket Prices: From Expensive to Astronomical
Official tickets for the India vs Pakistan match were sold at US $2,500 (approximately INR 200,000) per person. This means that a group of four would spend around INR 850,000.
However, with official tickets sold out, fans are turning to the resale market where prices have skyrocketed. The secondary market has seen ticket prices soar to an unbelievable INR 1.84 crore for a single ticket.

This phenomenon is not new. During the ODI World Cup 2023, ticket prices for the India-Pakistan match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad reached as high as INR 57 lakhs.
The final match at the same venue also saw a significant surge in ticket prices on the black market. Despite the exorbitant costs, fans were willing to pay hefty sums to experience these high-stakes matches live.
