New Delhi, Feb 8: The general ticket allotment for India’s high-octane ICC T20 World Cup 2022 match against Pakistan at Melbourne Cricket Ground was sold out within minutes of going on sale to the general public.
This comes after 200,000 tickets were sold during the pre-sale period for the 45 matches scheduled to take place in Australia between October 16 and November 13. The allocations for the India – Pakistan match were sold out within five minutes of being on sale, demonstrating the high demand for one of international cricket’s most storied rivalries.
When the worldwide showcase for men’s T20 cricket comes to Australia for the first time, over 800,000 fans are expected to attend, and there are still plenty of seats available in the general public sale for all remaining fixtures.
“The response from the fans has been fantastic and we’re proud of the fact we were able to reward our fans who purchased tickets to the postponed event in 2020 and those who registered early with us to get priority access to tickets in the pre-sale,” said ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 Local Organising Committee CEO Michelle Enright.
Notably, the Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 is scheduled to be held in Australia between October 16- November 13. The tournament will be played across seven venues- Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Geelong, Hobart and Perth.
