Pakistan-India CT match sold out within minutes

[Edevelop]

Tickets for the final edition of the ICC Champions Trophy have gone on sale and there are no prizes for guessing the most anticipated battle of the tournament: Pakistan v India, June 15.

According to the ICC, demand for tickets for the Champions Trophy has been exceptionally high, with tickets selling quickly following the official release of further tickets in a planned second phase of sales.

“We’ve been staggered by the interest shown by today’s ticket sales,” said Tournament Director Steve Elworthy, adding: “The allocation of tickets for India v Pakistan sold out in under thirty minutes, with tickets released for other matches, including the final, also selling-out. We’d like to thank everyone who attempted to buy tickets for these games and sympathise with those who were unsuccessful but owing to the high demand, the tickets that were released today sold very quickly.

“This just goes to show the growing excitement and real passion cricket fans have for this tournament, one in which they will have the chance to see live the world’s top 50-over cricketers playing in England and Wales this June.”

Additional tickets for all 15 matches, including coveted games such as India v Pakistan, England v Australia and the final went on sale this morning via the official ICC ticket website.

The ICC Champions Trophy 2013, featuring Australia, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka and West Indies, will be played across three world-class venues – Cardiff Wales Stadium, Edgbaston and The Oval – over 18 days from 6-23 June.

Pakistan’s fixtures:

June 7 – Pakistan v West Indies
June 10 – Pakistan v South Africa
June 15 – Pakistan v India

When a nation shuts down sporting ties with another its not audacity or stupidity.

Its to do with putting a message across & this has nothing to do with the popularity or unpopularity of the fixtures.

How difficult is it to understand that India does not want Pak to play matches on its soil till some modicum of responsibility is shown. As regards playing in Pakistan, India joins the world in who also consider it unsafe.

I think it's debatable. India-Australia matches great a lot of business as well. Due to Political babus lesser matches between India and Pakistan could be a reason for this sold out. However, no doubt India - Pakistan rivalry in Cricket is awesome, however I myself personally feel better when India kicks the sh*t out of whites, especially Australia.

Thank God this sports event is not going to be held in India otherwise Indian Hindu extremists would have forced the Indian elected govt to postpone it

How difficult it is to understand for even educated lot of Indians like you that only fake egoistic idiots can harm sports event.

if the modicum of responsibility was the condition then why India does NOT stop trade with Pakistan and Sri Lanka untill "some modicum of responsibility is shown by us

Dumb troll, Indian govt has stopped no SL player from participating in any sports. In fact, 3 out of 9 IPL teams have SL players as their captain. They r not going to play their respective games in TN(i.e 1 out of 28 states) bcz CM of tht state has expressed fear for security of SL players if such situation arises. Cherry picking is easy but u failed even in tht

Regarding trade...again u dumb troll, didn't India govt allowed Pak players to play in India during 2011 WC or the ODI-T20 series few months back ? IPL is a different case bcz $millions r invested in tht by franchises and if some brainwashed idiots again come waging 'jihad' against India and Pak players myt be forced to leave bcz of political problem then whose gonna repay them ? PCB ?

 

[Joe Shearer]

ye
s because indian heads are still stuck deep inside ajmal kassab rear end

Ah, the LOL language again, Pakistan's national language on the Internet.

What a consolation to you that our heads are stuck deep inside Kassab's rear end. It could have been much worse, isn't it? I presume you are thinking about our obsession with terrorists. Think what it could have been, if we were Pakistanis, with your heads stuck deep inside your own rear ends. What's it feel like, knowing you get blown up by your own?

Oh, sorry, LOL, just to show you we speak Pakistani too.
