Executive Briefing

According to reporting by Al Jazeera International, ICC receives 8.4 million ticket requests for 34,000 seats at the October 10, 2027 India-Pakistan match in Johannesburg.

Detailed Factual Report

ICC receives 8.4 million ticket requests for 34,000 seats at the October 10, 2027, match in Johannesburg.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) says it has received nearly 8.5 million ticket requests for a group stage match between India and Pakistan at next year’s Cricket World Cup in South Africa.

A World Cup cricket match between the South Asian rivals traditionally draws the highest ticket requests, barring the final, but the demand for the October 10, 2027, match has surpassed that for the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup, the sport’s global governing body said on Monday.

The South Asian neighbours will meet at the Wanderers cricket ground in Johannesburg during the initial round-robin-style phase of the tournament.
