<p>Fans in Pakistan and India are very excited for the two Asian powerhouses to square off in the main event of the T20 World Cup 2024. To promote the game in the United States of America, the International Cricket Council (ICC) brought the event to American soil, and nothing could have been better than playing an India vs. Pakistan match in New York. But the cost of tickets has soared to absurd levels ahead of the much-anticipated match.</p>

<p>The official ticket sale started at $6 (INR 497) at first, but the resale market is seeing a sharp increase in price. Tickets for major events, such as the match between India and Pakistan, were quickly sold out and then resold for more money.</p>
<p>Numerous media sources claim that tickets are being resold for at least double their original price on websites like StubHub and SeatGeek.</p>
<p>On the official website, the VIP tickets for the India vs. Pakistan match were originally listed at $400 (INR 33000 minus taxes). On resale sites, the price has increased to as much as INR 33 Lakh ($40,000), however. When platform costs are included, the total increases to $50,000 (INR 41 Lakhs). In actuality, the cheapest ticket for the India vs. Pakistan game in New York costs around $1,259 (INR 1.04 lakhs). Although less expensive, the rates are still above $11,00 on other marketplaces.</p>
<p>The cost of tickets for several big athletic events in the USA is now competitive with the growing costs. Approximately $1,100 (INR 91k) was the average cost of a World Series ticket last year, while the average price of a Super Bowl 58 ticket was $9,000 (INR 7.45 Lakh). As the nation is ready to host an ICC for the first time, the next match between India and Pakistan is predicted to break all previous records.</p>
<p>It would cost a staggering $175,000 (INR 1.4 Crore) on the SeatGeek marketplace to purchase the most expensive ticket for the India vs. Pakistan match. If one were to include the extra costs of $50,000 (INR 41 lakhs), the total cost would come to around INR 1.86 crore.</p>
