Mohali Stadium: Tickets for India-Pakistan WC Semi Final
MOHALI: With arch rivals India and Pakistan set to clash in the World Cup semi-finals here, prices of all tickets for the big match have soared in the black market.
While a Rs 250 ticket is now being sold on the sly for Rs 2,000 and even more, Rs 500 tickets are available for Rs 4,000. And a Rs 1,000 ticket can only be bought, believe it or not, for as high as Rs 6,500-7,000.
This is now. By the time India and Pakistan take on one another March 30, the prices may go up further. The reasons are not far to seek. "Everyone waits for an India-Pakistan match. It is nothing less than war fought on the border. Ticket rates have risen up exceptionally after India won the match against Australia," a man selling tickets in the black told media.
India crushed Australia by five wickets in Ahmedabad Thursday to send the world champions out of the tournament. The man behind the Indian victory was Yuvraj Singh, a local hero in Mohali. India and Pakistan will play in floodlights at the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) stadium.
