With excitement building up for the T20 World Cup 2024, ticket prices have almost doubled for the high-voltage clash between India and Pakistan in New York on June 9th, reaching an exorbitant rate. As per media reports, the prices have hit the roof and are being sold at a staggering ₹2.08 lakhs.
The rivalry between India and Pakistan is arguably the most exciting of the lot, mainly due to the geo-political tension between the two nations. The two nations haven't played in a bilateral series since 2012-13 and India having the wood over the arch-rivals in ICC events will fire Pakistan up even more.
As per a report by Daily Jang, the prices as per dollars were 1300 previously and have now risen to 2500. The surge in amounts is likely due to the presence of Indian and Pakistani diaspora in the United States of America (USA) as they seek to secure seats for the spicy encounter.
