Champions Trophy 2025: India vs Pakistan craze bangs on; tickets sold out within minutes of going live

Digital Desk: Cricket fans eager to witness the exciting India vs Pakistan showdown in person were disappointed when tickets sold out within minutes of being released.

The 2025 Champions Trophy match between India and Pakistan will be contested in a hybrid format beginning February 23 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

India's choice to play outside of Pakistan resulted in a compromise, with their fixtures taking place in the UAE. Tickets for all of India's matches, including a potential semi-final appearance, went on sale on February 3 at 5:30 PM (IST).

Fans rushed to grab tickets for the most awaited showdown, and despite the effort most ticket categories, including premium options priced at AED 2,000 and AED 5,000, were sold out almost instantaneously.
