The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced on Thursday that standing room tickets would be available for the highly anticipated ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 match between India and Pakistan at the MCG on October 23.
“Over 4,000 standing room tickets and a limited number of additional seated allocations will be available at t20worldcup.com from 12pm AEST today.”
Standing room tickets will be $30 and will be sold on a first come, first served basis. “Due to the anticipated demand for additional tickets, all fans are encouraged to create their T20 World Cup ticketing account in advance,” said the ICC.
Earlier, in February this year, general ticket allocations for the marquee clash in the upcoming edition of Men’s T20 World Cup, dubbed as the ‘greatest rivalry’ in world cricket were sold out within five minutes of going on sale.
“The ticket release ensures that as many fans as possible can attend the fixture scheduled to be played on Sunday 23 October. General ticket allocations previously sold out within five minutes of going on sale in February. A limited number of ICC Hospitality and ICC Travel and Tours packages also remain available for purchase,” added the ICC.
The ICC further said that they will also launch an official re-sale platform closer to the event’s opening match on Sunday, October 16. “Fans who miss out on tickets can still book their place to see the world’s best cricketers at other T20 World Cup matches, with kids tickets starting from just $5 and adult tickets from $20.”
“Tickets are also still available to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Final, also being played at the MCG on 13 November.”
The event was originally scheduled for 2020 in Australia, but it was postponed due to COVID-19 and rescheduled for October 16 – November 13, 2022. The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 will feature 16 teams competing in 45 matches, with the final taking place on November 13 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
After hosting the Women’s T20 World Cup in February-March 2020, Australia will host the Men’s T20 World Cup for the first time. Australia will be the defending champions in the men’s T20 World Cup, having won their first title in 2021, defeating New Zealand in the final at Dubai International Stadium.
