Ticket prices for the T20 World Cup match between arch-rivals India and Pakistan have gone through the roof.
The Marquee T-20 tournament will commence across the Atlantic in the US and West Indies on June 1. Both subcontinent teams from group A will come across each other on June 9.
Cricket lovers have been eagerly waiting for the Indo-Pak fixture.
Meanwhile, IPL’s ex-commissioner Lalit Modi has accused ICC of taking the ticket prices to $20,000 hence plundering the cricket buffs under the garb of promoting cricket in the USA.
On his X handle, he claimed that the price of a single Diamond Club ticket was $20,000 (Rs5.6 million) and that of a normal stand was $2,750 (Rs0.76m approximately).
He said the purpose of organising the T-20 World Cup in the USA was to promote cricket and establish contact with cricket enthusiasts but profiteering from them in the name of tickets was uncalled for.
According to some media reports, tickets for a few high-octane matches are being sold at high rates whereas ICC hasn’t issued any statement in this regard.
