Boycott talk or not — the Asia Cup buzz refuses to die down. Despite political tension and calls from Indian politicians and ex-cricketers to skip the Pakistan match, fans are in no mood to back off.
The tournament kicks off on September 9 in the UAE, and the biggest attraction — the Pakistan vs India showdown on September 14 in Dubai — is expected to sell out in minutes.
But here’s the twist: fake tickets are already flooding the market. Even after repeated warnings from the ACC and Emirates Cricket Board, black marketers are cashing in. Reports reveal tickets for the blockbuster clash are being sold for a jaw-dropping ₹1.575 million each!
And that’s not all — tickets for India vs UAE, India vs Oman, and even other Pakistan matches are being spotted on shady sites.
If both teams make it to the Super Four on September 21, and later to the final on September 28, fans could witness up to three fiery India-Pakistan encounters in just two weeks.
In the UAE, expats are equally hyped, with memories of the Champions Trophy ticket madness — when thousands waited online for hours — expected to repeat this September.
