Ticket prices for the highly anticipated Asia Cup final between arch-rivals India and Pakistan have soared to unprecedented levels, 24 NewsHD TV reported on Saturday.
Starting from Rs32,000, the prices now stretch as high as Rs480,000, making it one of the most expensive cricket matches ever witnessed in the UAE.
With the big clash set to take place, the demand for tickets has far exceeded supply, particularly for the premium enclosures.
Reports indicated that tickets for all important enclosures are nearly sold out, with the highest-priced tickets available to the public ranging between 280,000 rupees and 480,000 rupees.
The cost of accessing the exclusive hospitality boxes for the high-profile match is said to be even greater, placing the premium experience out of reach for all but the most affluent cricket fans.
The Pakistan-India final has always been one of the most sought-after contests in the cricketing world, with both teams sharing one of the fiercest rivalries in sports history.
The hype surrounding the Asia Cup showdown has driven demand to such extraordinary levels that tickets were snapped up almost immediately after release, with resale markets further inflating the prices.
