The presale period for the first batch of tickets for the high voltage ICC World Cup 2023 match between the Indian cricket team and Pakistan met with great interest from fans on Tuesday. The ICC’s ticket partner, ‘Book My Show’, opened its exclusive pre-sale window for the Oct. 14 game in Ahmedabad, but it sold out in under an hour. There will be another general sale round for the India-Pakistan match on September 3, so there is a chance that it will be completely sold out in a matter of hours, as happened on Tuesday for all Mastercard holders.
It could not be confirmed how many tickets were put online during the presale for all India matches and the warm-up matches, but news agency PTI has learned that, after the sale opened at 6pm IST, within an hour, all tickets on the day had been sold out. on. The ‘Book My Show’ website posted a ‘Sold Out’ caption to the game in Pakistan, which was not the case for the other eight games in India.
“Today it was only for those who held a Mastercard (credit or debit, India and International). Only two tickets were allocated per person and of course the pre-sale tickets were bought by fans within an hour. But it is expected that another round will take place on September 3. The best part is that Narendra Modi Stadium has a capacity of 132,000 people, so a fair number of tickets can be expected to go on sale on September 3 a BCCI source told PTI.
However, not being able to get tickets disappointed few fans.

The ICC allows only two tickets per person to be booked for all matches in India, along with the semi-finals and the final, while four tickets per person can be booked for non-Indian matches.
