The ticket bonanza is set to kick off at 8 PM IST on Friday, September 8, with fans being able to secure their prized passes through the popular platform, BookMyShow.
This much-awaited move by the BCCI comes hot on the heels of widespread discontent among fans on social media. Reports had surfaced, alleging that a limited number of tickets were available for the games during the recent pre-sale phase. Some disgruntled fans even claimed that only 8,500 tickets were sold for the Indo-Pak clash in Ahmedabad, despite the stadium’s mammoth capacity of over one lakh.
In response to these concerns, the BCCI issued a statement, declaring, “The BCCI has announced the release of approximately 400,000 tickets for the highly anticipated tournament. The general sale of tickets for all matches of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 will commence from 8:00 PM IST onwards on September 8, 2023.”
To facilitate the ticket-buying process, the BCCI’s official link will redirect fans to the BookMyShow website, where they can select their preferred matches and venues. Meanwhile, BookMyShow is offering tickets for various non-India matches, including warm-up games, with prices starting as low as Rs 200.
