The cricket world is abuzz! The T20 World Cup 2024 is upon us, and the much-anticipated clash between India and Pakistan is sending shockwaves through the fandom. But it's not just the on-field fireworks that have people talking—it's the price of tickets!
India-Pakistan match are reaching a staggering $20,000 per seat. Yes, you read that right. That's enough to buy a brand new Mahindra XUV car (depending on the model) and still have some change left for team jerseys!
The India vs Pakistan encounter is more than just a cricket match; it's a cultural phenomenon. The passion, the history, and the sheer intensity between these two cricketing giants make it an unmissable spectacle. Fans are willing to shell out a small fortune just to be a part of this electrifying atmosphere.
Former IPL commissioner Lalit Modi has criticized the ICC for allegedly prioritizing profits over promoting the game in the USA. Modi claims that tickets for the marquee clash at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York are being sold for as much as $20,000 (Rs 16,65,138) per seat in the Diamond Club section.
"Shocked to learn that ICC is selling tickets for Diamond Club at $20000 per seat for the #indvspak WC game. The WC in the US is for game expansion & fan engagement, not a means to make profits on gate collections. $2750 for a ticket It’s just #notcricket #intlcouncilofcrooks,” Modi tweeted.
