The sale for WC 2023 will start soon: Jay Shah
Following a meeting with the state associations on Thursday in New Delhi, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah stated that the sale of tickets would only take place once the full procedure had been followed. He requested that each state organization communicate their finalized ticket prices with the Indian board by July 31.
Paper tickets are mandatory at the stadium
Shah had stated, however, that paper tickets would be required for fans to access the stadium for its major events.
The Indian board will designate additional collection centers, apart from the stadium, in each city to allow supporters to pick up tickets for the World Cup, which is set to begin on October 5.
Shah at the press conference
“We will set up things such that the actual tickets may be picked up at seven to eight locations a week before the game. We’ll make things simple for you. The e-ticket system will be introduced in bilateral games first, Shah stated in a press conference.
However, the BCCI told each state organization that they needed to reserve a specific number of tickets for the parent organization and the International Cricket Council (ICC) during their meeting with the state associations.
Hospitality tickets
As required, the ICC and BCCI will receive 300 complimentary hospitality tickets for each game. Additionally, the state will be required to give the ICC 1295 tickets for league games and 1355 tickets for the games against India and the semifinals. 500 general tickets must be provided by the state association at no cost to the Indian board. The BCCI has advised the state to give extra hospitality tickets in the event that the ICC (250 hospitality and 1800 general tickets) and BCCI (300 hospitality and general stand seats each) decide to purchase more.
ICC tour partners
Each state association may acquire 40 tickets per game in excess of these limits, with the remaining 10% being purchased by the ICC tour partner.
