India match tickets for ICC World Cup 2023: Step-by-step guide on when and how to book
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to book tickets for India's World Cup 2023 matches.
The pre-sale exclusive window for Mastercard users for India matches at the ICC World Cup 2023 did not go according to plan. The BookMyShow website crashed and many were left minutes after the tickets for India’s warm-up and main matches went live at 6 PM (IST) on Monday. Those who managed to log into the website were pushed to long queues. A day later, the website showed all tickets barring the India vs Afghanistan match in New Delhi, were sold out for the Mastercard users.
The real test for ICC and BookMyShow, will, however, start Tuesday (August 30) when the site opens for everyone to book India match tickets. ICC had earlier announced that tickets for India matches would be rolled out in a phased manner to avoid chaos. The open-to-all sale begins today at 8 pm (IST) for the warm-up matches in Guwahati and Thiruvananthapuram against England and Netherlands on 30 September and 3 October. India will play England at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati their first warm-up fixture ahead of the home World Cup.
