With the general ticket sales for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 going live and making their way into the resale website, VIP ticket stands' prices have touched staggering amounts. On resale websites such as StubHub and SeatGeek, prices have reportedly surged up to ₹1.86 crore, three times more than the peak hit during the 2023 World Cup.
According to USA Today, the tickets for matches including India vs Pakistan (June 9th) and India vs Canada (June 15th) have been sold out, but the prices went twice above the original. The official sales started at $6, while the costliest seats were charged at $400 without taxes.
Due to the geopolitical tensions between the two nations, the clash between India and Pakistan is arguably the most hyped one of the tournament. The T20 World Cup 2022 fixture between India and Pakistan at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) was witnessed by an astonishing 90293 from the venue.
India hold a near-perfect record against Pakistan in T20 World Cups:
As far as the battle between India and Pakistan in T20 World Cup goes, the former has won 7 matches out of 8. The Men in Green's only win over their neighbours came during the 2021 edition when Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan steamrolled their opponents in Dubai by 10 wickets.
The 2022 World Cup clash at the MCG turned out to be a memorable one as Virat Kohli produced an unforgettable knock of 82 to help India chase down 160 with 4 wickets to spare.
