The Asia Cup, kicking off on September 9th in the UAE, is eagerly awaited, with the India vs. Pakistan match on September 14th in Dubai being the highlight for many cricket fans. The demand is intense, and reports have surfaced that tickets for the India-Pakistan game are commanding exorbitant prices in the black market, reaching 1.5 million rupees, even before their official launch. This is despite calls for a boycott of the match, spurred by the terrorist attack in Pahalgam.
The match is highly anticipated, especially given the current tensions between India and Pakistan. The Indian government has approved the match. The ECB is urging fans to be wary of unofficial ticket vendors. The ACC has also cautioned fans to purchase tickets only through the official website when sales begin.
Fraudulent websites are already offering tickets at inflated prices, with the India-Pakistan match tickets ranging from 26,256 rupees to 1.5 million rupees. The ACC recommends that cricket fans avoid buying tickets from these unofficial sources. The two teams could potentially face each other again on September 21st. Furthermore, there is a possibility of a third match if both teams make it to the Asia Cup final on September 28th.
