The MCA has issued a public advisory (dated 28 November 2025) alerting fans about official ticketing protocols for Lionel Messi’s event at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on 14 December 2025. Only tickets purchased via the authorised partner, District, will be considered valid, any tickets bought from unofficial sources or accounts impersonating MCA or the organisers will be deemed fake and will not grant entry.
The advisory emphasises that MCA’s only verified Instagram account (@mumbaicricketassoc) will carry official updates. Fans are warned to ignore posts from fake or duplicate accounts falsely claiming to represent MCA.
Why This Matters
With excitement high and ticket demand soaring, recent reports note a fresh release of tickets priced between ₹7,080 and ₹23,600, the risk of scam tickets circulating is significant.
The organisers expect a large turnout for the event, which mixes entertainment, celebrity appearances and a special showcase honouring Messi. The event at Wankhede is being widely billed as one of the biggest fan experiences of 2025.
What Fans Should Do
Buy tickets only from the official platform: Either via the District website or their official mobile app.
Discard any ticket purchased from resale websites or social media accounts not linked to District. These will not be honoured at the gate.
Follow only verified MCA channels for announcements, especially the verified Instagram handle.
Have your e-ticket ready (digital QR code)- entry is contingent on a valid ticket.
