As the International Cricket Council (ICC) World Cup 2023 draws closer, the ticket sale window for the high-voltage clash between India and Pakistan witnessed increased interest from fans worldwide.
On both August 29 and September 3, the primary ticket sales outlets were completely sold out within only one hour.
However, what really has social media users raging is that the secondary market for ticket sales has witnessed a significant uptick in prices.
A South Premium West Bay ticket, for instance, is currently listed at an astonishing INR1950,000 on an online sports ticket platform, according to Indian media reports.
The remaining two tickets for the upper tier that allow an unobstructed view are being sold for an astonishing INR5,700,000 each.
These exorbitant prices have everyone shocked and social media users are taking these sellers to task.
“What is happening? World Cup tickets for India vs. Pakistan range from 65,000 to 4.5 lakh [450,000] “per ticket” on the website! Daylight robbery from these corporations!”—APP
