The tickets for the 2023 ODI World Cup in India later this year will finally go on sale on August 25, just over 40 days before the first game of the tournament on October 5.
The update came from the ICC following the revised schedule for the world cup – also much delayed – was released, with dates changed for nine games including the big-ticket India vs Pakistan fixture.
The tickets for all matches not featuring India – in the warm-ups and in the tournament – will go on sale first, on August 25. following that, there will be a six-phase sale of tickets for games featuring India, the first for their two warm-up games (vs England in Guwahati on September 30 and vs Netherlands/Sri Lanka in Thiruvananthapuram on October 3) and then for their games in the main event.
The delay in announcing the final schedule and the plan for tickets is unusual for a World Cup. as a point of comparison, the tickets for the 2019 ODI World Cup, in England and Wales, went on sale in September 2018, and when the ICC responded to the high demand for tickets with a fresh sale, it was on March 21, 2019, with the tournament getting underway 70 days later on May 30.
