The Indo-Pakistan match ticket has not yet been sold in the Asia Cup 2025. The match will be played on September 14 in the tournament. Usually these high-voltage match tickets are sold in a few hours, but this time the demand for tickets has slowed as the price has increased to Rs 2.5 lakh and the package sales have also increased.
3 major reasons for not selling tickets between India and Pakistan …
1. Package system This time the organizers have introduced the package system by modifying the ticketing system. The first fans were able to buy a direct ticket for the Indo-Pakistan match, but this time they have to buy the entire group-stage package. This means that in order to watch the Indo-Pakistan match, fans have to buy a total of 7 match tickets together.
In this case, fans who only want to see the Indo-Pakistan match will have to pay for the rest of the group match. However, this does not include super-4 and final matches.

2. Ticket prices increased The cost of the package available on the ticketing portal is about Rs. 2.57 lakh, including seating arrangements, unlimited foods and drinks, parking pass, VIP club/lounge, private entrance and rest rooms.
Similarly, the Royal Box 2.30 lakh, Sky Box East 1.67 lakh, Platinum 75 thousand, Grand Lounge 41 thousand, Pavilion West 28 thousand and most cheapest General East are also available for two seats. This is the reason why buying a ticket for fans is becoming expensive.
3. Flights and hotels got expensive According to media reports, flight ticket prices have also increased. The demand for flights around September 13 and 14 has increased so much that the rent has doubled. The fare from Mumbai to Dubai flight starts at ₹ 11,000. The ticket from Delhi to Dubai has reached around ₹ 15,000. With the match approaching, the return flight ticket can reach the price of ₹ 25,000 to ₹ 40,000.
The status of hotels is not different before the Indo-Pakistan match. Budget hotels are available at ₹ 5,000 per night. The 3 to 4 star hotels are between ₹ 9,000 and ₹ 12,000. The 5 star luxury hotel is going up to 18,000.
Captain of India and Pakistan sat differently at the press conference A press conference was organized in Dubai on Tuesday, where the organizers set up a separate Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav and Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agar. Rashid Khan of Afghanistan was in the middle.
