“After discussions with the hosting state associations, the BCCI has announced the release of approximately 400,000 tickets for the highly anticipated tournament. This measure is aimed at accommodating as many passionate cricket fans as possible ensuring their participation in this historic event,” the BCCI said in a media statement.

For the uninitiated, BookMyShow was the primary sponsor of tickets for World Cup 2023. However, fans did not have a pleasant experience despite promptly logging in at 8 PM every day on the site for India matches. Such was the anger of fans that BookMyShow had to issue an apology letter to fans stating it there was a huge demand for tickets that made the experience unpleasant. After a lot of hullabaloo, ICC and BCCI have still stuck with BookmyShow owing to its huge amount of experience, and their accuracy in the ticketing industry.

Tickets for all of India’s matches will be on the ICC website. It claims to be a “safe space that allows sellers to name their price, and saves buyers from missing out.”

In simpler terms, the tickets are being sold at a re-selling platform, wherein the prices are not being set by any organization or authority, but by the sellers themselves. With the demand sky-rocketing steadily, the prices have been set extraordinarily high.

Tickets for India’s first match against Australia, which will be played in Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium on 8 October, have been listed at a minimum price of Rs 41,007, going up to Rs 100,059.

For the match against Bangladesh, to be held in Pune’s Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium on 19 October, the minimum price has been set at Rs 19,103.

Here are the ticket prices for India’s matches on the reselling platform (approximate):
