The tickets for India vs Pakistan clash ahead of Champions Trophy 2025 have reportedly been sold out within a few minutes of them going live. With demand for tickets for the high-voltage clash going at an unprecedented rate, thousands of fans were left disappointed as those already in queue snapped them almost instantly, as per media reports.
The prices for the general stand tickets started from 125 Dirhams (₹ 2,965.43) and a few fans were lucky to secure those. However, tickets in the premium categories, priced at AED 2,000 and AED 5,000 didn't last long either as fans rushed to book those. India are grouped alongside Pakistan, Bangladesh and New Zealand.
With the Men in Blue set to play all their matches in Dubai after the BCCI cited security concerns in Pakistan, tickets went live at 5:30 pm on February 3 (Monday). Rohit Sharna and Co. will begin their campaign on February 20 against Bangladesh, followed by facing Pakistan on 23 and will finish their group stage against New Zealand on March 2.
