This is the first time since 1996 that Pakistan is hosting an ICC event. With the Champions Trophy 2025 set to begin on February 19, the nation is ready to resurrect the lost glitz. This season, which is being conducted after a seven-year break, will feature eight teams competing for the coveted crown. Pakistan defeated India in the Champions Trophy 2017 final held in England in the previous season. As a result, they were assigned as the event’s default host.
The international event will be held at three locations that are now undergoing restoration. Stadiums in Lahore, Karachi, and Rawalpindi are getting ready to become arenas where the world’s top athletes compete for championships. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has made the cost of match tickets public before to the next competition.
Prices for the gallery view at the Pakistan games range from INR 620 to INR 7750. In contrast, tickets for non-Pakistani matches at Karachi Stadium might cost as little as INR 310 to INR 5580. Both the fixtures and the ticket costs vary from one location to another. Some games have a more relaxed price, but the Pakistani games have a greater cap. The costs for the India games in Dubai have not yet been disclosed.
First-come, first-served is how tickets will be distributed: CoO of the UAE board
In the meantime, Subhan Ahmed, the COO of the Emirates Cricket Board and a former PCB COO, spoke up to share his thoughts on the general state of affairs around the event’s tickets. Ahmed anticipated that the Champions Trophy leg in Dubai will draw a record number of spectators. In addition, he mentioned that there will be a “first-served” approach to the ICC event ticketing.
“These matches are more than just cricket; they’re a celebration because there are so many Indians and Pakistanis living here,” he told Cricket Pakistan. “The atmosphere is electrifying as fans from both sides unite to cheer on their teams and enjoy the sport,” Ahmed remarked. According to the Indian Express, Ahmed stated, “We hope to see record-breaking support from fans and expect these matches to be extremely entertaining.”
He continued, “Tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, ensuring that fans from Pakistan and India, as well as others, can enjoy the action.” “We’re determined to remove any unnecessary barriers so that cricket fans can attend.” He said, “The UAE is a great place for events, even at short notice, because it provides unparalleled facilities and government support.”
Additionally, a statement about potential conflicts with the hybrid model was issued by the ICC, the highest cricket regulatory organisation. Notably, Jay Shah made sure that the hybrid model was the answer to any potential conflicts between the cricket boards, particularly the PCB and BCCI, after assuming the position of top chairman of the governing body.
“This will be applicable to the forthcoming ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 (hosted by India), the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 (hosted by India and Sri Lanka), and the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025 (hosted by Pakistan), which is scheduled to take place in February and March 2025,” the ICC said in a statement.
