Original standard tickets are long gone, so you only have reseller sites as an option now, but you can browse resale ticket availability on websites like StubHub and Vivid Seats. You’re looking at close to $700 at the time of writing, but they were more like $1500 a few weeks ago, so this isn’t a bad time to buy at all by comparison.
Last year, India narrowly lost the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup to Australia despite a home-field advantage. India has won the World Cup twice, and Pakistan, their longtime rivals, has won the revered competition once. The last time India and Pakistan played each other was at the Cricket World Cup in October 2023, where India beat Pakistan by seven wickets.

When it comes to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, which is a more recently created competition, both India and Pakistan have each won once. Pakistan played in the finals at the 2022 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup but ultimately lost to England. India also lost to England in the 2022 competition, during the semi-finals. The match on June 9 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York is shaping up to be the main draw of the US portion of the competition this year.
How to buy India vs. Pakistan tickets
ICC ran a ballot for original standard tickets in February, which received a massive response of more than three million applications, according to the ICC. While some tickets are still available on the official T20 website and more are occasionally released, original India vs. Pakistan tickets have sold out and are no longer available. A new wave of public tickets were made available earlier this month, but this didn’t include more tickets for the India vs. Pakistan game.
Tickets for the India vs. Pakistan game are available on resale vendor websites like StubHub and Vivid Seats. Due to the substantial demand, these are higher-priced than the original standard ticket prices.
How much are India vs. Pakistan tickets?
While it’s unclear exactly how much the original standard India vs. Pakistan tickets cost in the ballot, the cheapest tickets for other matches at USA venues start at $35 (although India vs. Pakistan was most likely more). Now that the tournament is underway, we’ve noticed prices have dropped considerably for India vs. Pakistan, although they’re still expensive.
StubHub prices today start at $635 while Vivid Seats listings go up from $668. Just a few weeks ago though, the cheapest prices at these sites were more like $1400 and $1500, respectively.

What about other Men’s T20 World Cup matches?
While India vs. Pakistan might be the most anticipated event of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, there are plenty of other exciting matches throughout June, culminating in the finals on June 29 in Barbados.
