ICC Loves TEAM INDIA, Here’s Why?
The International Cricket Council (ICC) appears to be capitalizing on Team India’s popularity by setting high ticket prices for all of their games. The ICC is fully aware of the immense demand that Team India generates, thanks to the presence of big names and renowned ambassadors in the team. It seems that the ICC is taking full advantage of this popularity.
| TEAM INDIA MATCH TICKET PRICES | |||||
| OPPONENT | CHEAPEST TICKET | TICKET TYPE | MOST EXPENSIVE TICKET | TICKET TYPE | VENUE |
| Pakistan | $30.00 | Standard Plus | $10,000.00 | Diamond Club | Nassau County Int. Cricket Stadium |
| USA | $90.00 | Premium | $750.00 | Diamond Club | Nassau County Int. Cricket Stadium |
| Canada | $300.00 | Premium | $999.00 | Premium Pavilion | Broward County Stadium |
Take a look at the ticket prices for the remaining Team India matches in Group A in the ongoing T20 World Cup. Other than the Pakistan game, even the games against USA and Canada are billed at $750 and $999 per ticket, for the fans. Is this World Cup being organised in the USA for promoting the game or making millions out of Team India matches?
Now, a comparison of ticket prices for matches involving other teams reveals a significant difference.
| TOP TEAM’S TICKET PRICES (Excluding India) | ||||
| TEAM | OPPONENT | TICKET PRICE (CHEAPEST) | OPPONENT | TICKET PRICE (EXPENSIVE) |
| Australia | Namibia | $12.00 | England | $30.00 |
| England | Oman | $12.00 | Australia | $30.00 |
| West Indies | Uganda | $22.00 | New Zealand | $22.00 |
| South Africa | Nepal | $25.00 | Bangladesh | $70.00 |
| Pakistan | Canada | $70.00 | India | $300.00 |
This table provides an overview of ticket prices for matches involving top cricket teams, excluding India, against different opponents. It highlights the cheapest and most expensive ticket prices for these matches. For Australia, the cheapest ticket for a match against Namibia costs $12.00, while the most expensive ticket for a match against England is $30.00.
England’s ticket prices follow the same pattern, with $12.00 for a match against Oman and $30.00 against Australia.
The West Indies have uniform ticket pricing, with $22.00 for matches against both Uganda and New Zealand.
South Africa’s cheapest tickets are priced at $25.00 for a match against Nepal, while the most expensive tickets reach $70.00 for a match against Bangladesh.
Pakistan’s tickets range significantly, with the cheapest being $70.00 for a match against Canada, and the most expensive hitting $300.00 for a match against India.
This table reflects the varying demand and popularity of different matches, influencing the pricing strategies for ticket sales.
There is no team, not even Australia that comes close to India, and that’s why the ICC wants to earn every single dollar out of the Blues matches. Even if that means, keeping the stands empty, but not letting the ticket price come down.
What happened during the India vs Ireland match?
The India vs Ireland match at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in New York saw a couple of empty stands, especially in the premium sections, despite India’s massive fan base, even in the United States. The International Cricket Council (ICC) faced criticism for the exorbitant ticket prices for India matches, with some tickets reportedly costing as much as $900.
This pricing strategy deterred many fans, including the substantial Indian expat community and those who traveled from India, resulting in an attendance of only around 20,604 out of the 34,000-capacity venue. The high ticket prices were seen as a major factor contributing to the low turnout, contrasting sharply with the full stands at a recent Nepal game.
How can the fans afford such high ticket prices?
Is the ICC playing with Indian cricket fans’ emotions?
Just imagine, if India reaches the finals of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. Then think about where the ticket prices would skyrocket, if that happens?
Undoubtedly, the ICC would be very happy, and so will be the WICB. No matter who wins or loses, their coffers will be filled with a stack load of money.
All of this comes at the price of the fans’ emotions – who make Indian cricket what it is today. The ICC shouldn’t forget that, and instead of making millions of money on Team India’s name, should look to make the sport global.
