India and Pakistan drive US ticket demand for T20 World Cup 2024

The United States organisers of the T20 World Cup 2024, which is slated to commence on June 1 in the West Indies and the USA, say that early ticket sales show an intense interest in the game among cricket fans in the whole country. Notably, the public ticket ballot for the much-anticipated match between cricket rivals India and Pakistan in New York was filled 200 times already, and this news has been confirmed by the Apex Cricket Council.

However, the T20 World Cup 2024 schedule reveals that the fans are extremely thrilled to witness the show in the USA for the first time. He further says that people are eagerly waiting to witness the India vs. Pakistan rivalry. In addition, the chief feels that the deserving team will win the T20 World Cup 2024 clash.

“We had amazing ticket interest. The ballot process showed there’s a really big demand. India-Pakistan is obviously a game that at every World Cup carries great interest. I think it’s really pleasing to see those two countries come to the USA. I think, number one, we want to celebrate those that are already fanatical lovers of cricket. They deserve to see the best players in the world come into their backyard and have that chance,” T20 World Cup USA, Inc. chief executive Brett Jones told AFP.

We’re saying we want to reward our cricket fans and lovers of cricket in the US, which is a huge market.
