The India-Pakistan match ticket has not yet been sold in the Asia Cup 2025. The match is to be played on 14 September in the tournament. Usually, tickets for this high-voltage match end in a few hours, but this time the demand for tickets has slowed down due to price and package sales up to above 2.5 lakh rupees.
3 major reasons for not selling IND-Pak ticket …
1. Package System The organizers brought a package system this time by changing the ticketing system. Earlier, where fans could buy tickets for India-Pakistan match directly, this time they have to take the entire group-stage package. This means that to watch India-Pakistan matches, fans will have to buy a total of 7 matches tickets simultaneously.
In such a situation, the fans who want to watch the India-Pakistan match only, they will have to pay the money for the remaining group matches for this. However, it does not include Super-4 and final matches.

2. The price of tickets increased The package on ticketing portals has been kept for about 2.57 lakh rupees for two seats, including seating, unlimited food, parking pass, VIP club/lounge, private entrance and rest room.
Similar Royal Box 2.30 Lakh, Sky Box East 1.67 Lakh, Platinum 75 thousand, Grand Lounge 41 thousand, Pavilion West 28 thousand and cheapest General East is also for about 10 thousand rupees. For this reason, fans are getting expensive to take tickets.
3. flights and hotels became expensive According to media reports, the price of flight tickets has also increased. The demand for flights around 13 and 14 September has increased so much that fares have doubled. The fare of Dubai flight from Mumbai starts at ₹ 11,000. Dubai tickets from Delhi have reached around ₹ 15,000. By the match’s return ticket price, the match can reach ₹ 25,000 to ₹ 40,000.
The situation of hotels is also no different before the India-Pakistan match. Budget hotels are available at ₹ 5,000 per night. 3 to 4 star hotels are between ₹ 9,000 to ₹ 12,000. 5 star luxury hotels are going above ₹ 18,000.
