Tickets for the highly anticipated Asia Cup 2025 are on sale, with demand for the India v Pakistan match on September 14 in Dubai high.
The Emirates Cricket Board announced that sale of match tickets for the T20 extravaganza began on Friday with a unique system where match tickets for India games and four Super Four stage matches are being sold together.
The tournament begins on September 9 and runs until September 28, with games taking place in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Given the high demand of matches involving India, organisers have decided to include the India v Pakistan clash in a seven-match tickets package, with price starting at Dh1,400.
The tickets package will allow fans to watch India's match against the UAE on September 10 and the clash with Pakistan four days later, both in Dubai, along with Super Four stage matches.
Individual match tickets for other Asia Cup group stage matches begin at Dh40 for games at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi and Dh50 at the Dubai International Stadium. Ticket are available on Platinum List website.
Fans can buy separate tickets for the remaining matches that are not included in the seven-match tickets package.
Tickets will also be made available at both Dubai International Stadium and Zayed Cricket Stadium over the coming days.
The tickets package starts at Dh1,400 for general category. Premium tickets package costs Dh2,950, and Pavilion tickets are Dh3,950. Platinum hospitality tickets are priced at Dh6,600 while Grand Lounge tickets package costs Dh13,000 each.
Demand of India's match against Pakistan is expected to be very high with reports of fake match tickets already being offered on unauthorised sites.
Also, match times for the tournament have been pushed back by half an hour. The tournament schedule earlier stated that games will begin at 6pm local time. But the ECB announced matches will now start at 6.30pm. The ongoing tri-series between UAE, Afghanistan and Pakistan is beginning at 7pm, give the high temperatures even during early evening.
