Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has fixed the minimum ticket price for Champions Trophy 2025 at Pakistani Rupee 1000, which will be equivalent to approximately Rs 310 in Indian currency. According to an inside document, however, the ticket rates for Indian matches in Dubai have not been specified. If the Indian team plays the semi-finals and final, then these matches will also be held in Dubai.
A copy of the document is with PTI, which states that the minimum ticket price for the matches to be held in Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi has been kept at PKR 1000. Tickets for the matches between Pakistan and Bangladesh in Rawalpindi will be priced at 2000 Pakistani rupees (620 Indian rupees), while tickets for the semi-finals will be priced at 2500 Pakistani rupees (776 Indian rupees).
PCB has set the VVIP tickets for all the matches at 12000 Pakistani rupees (3726 Indian rupees), while for the semi-finals it will be 25000 Pakistani rupees (7764 Indian rupees). The ticket for the Premier Gallery in Karachi will be priced at PKR 3500 (INR 1086), in Lahore it will be priced at PKR 5000 (INR 1550) and the ticket for the Pakistan vs Bangladesh match in Rawalpindi will be priced at PKR 7000 (INR 2170).
PCB has planned to keep the VIP gallery tickets in Karachi at Rs 7000, in Lahore at Rs 7500 and for the Bangladesh match at Rs 12500. 18,000 tickets will be available to the general public, but it is not clear how many tickets a person can buy at a time and whether these tickets will be available online or not.
As per ICC tournament rules, the host country sells tickets for the matches and keeps the revenue generated from them. Apart from this, it also receives hosting fees from ICC. Since India’s matches are to be held in Dubai, the PCB expects to get revenue from tickets and hospitality boxes, while the Emirates Cricket Board will be paid operating costs, including ground rent.
