As the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 nears, cricket lovers are eagerly waiting to have their hands on match tickets and more so for the India vs Pakistan match. Social media is abuzz with news that tickets for the India vs Pakistan match are selling at as high as Rs 18 lakh in the secondary market. Many fans have questioned the authenticity of BookMyShow, which is the official ticketing partner for the upcoming World Cup. Former India cricketer Venkatesh Prasad even tweeted about the ticket issues. Prasad tweeted, “I urge the BCCI to have more transparency in the World Cup ticketing system and not take fans for granted. Definitely in a stadium like Ahmedabad, for an #IndvsPak clash more than the sold 8500 tickets need to be available when the capacity is 1 lakh + . Likewise for all other matches , a larger chunk needs to be for the fans. It will be more fulfilling if the diehard fan is kept happy and not deprived of this opportunity instead of reserving a large chunk for corporates and members.”
