Ticket Madness: More than 200 times the supply is demanded
The most desired item in town right now is tickets for the match between India and Pakistan.

The unprecedented fervor cricket fans have for this long-standing rivalry is demonstrated by this tremendous demand. Phase 1 of the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup ticket sales began on February 22. Prior to this, there was a public ballot window during which tickets for a limited number of matches were made available for purchase on a first-come, first-served basis.
These tickets have entered the resale market in less than ten days, and as demand for them has grown, particularly in light of the highly anticipated match between India and Pakistan, prices have skyrocketed, on par with those of the NBA or Major League. Tickets for two of India’s T20 World Cup 2024 matches are being sold at more than twice the original rate on resale websites such as StubHub and SeatGeek.

Nassau County International Cricket Stadium is getting ready for a full house ahead of the India-Pakistan match, which is scheduled to take place in New York.
