The cricket world is in shock as tickets for the India versus Pakistan match in the upcoming Asia Cup have yet to sell out. The highly anticipated match in Dubai on September 14 has top-tier tickets still available. Experts suggest that inflated prices and bundled packages are deterring fans. VIP Suites East tickets are priced at over Rs 2.5 lakh for two, encompassing aisle seating, all-inclusive dining, parking, and lounge access. Other seating options also feature significant price points, including Royal Box, Sky Box East, Platinum, Grand Lounge, and Pavilion West. Even the general section tickets are expensive. This situation is remarkable, considering the usual quick sell-out for India-Pakistan contests. The slow ticket sales may be caused by factors such as the high prices of bundled packages, financial constraints for average fans, potential overestimation of post-pandemic demand, and the rise of digital viewing habits. The India and Pakistan captains displayed differing attitudes. Suryakumar Yadav focused on aggression, and Salman Agha favored player individuality. India, as the defending champions, will play against the UAE before the match against Pakistan. The final outcome regarding ticket prices and availability will be known closer to the game date, but the game is expected to be a highlight.
