The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 is set to welcome fans of all ages and backgrounds, with over 500,000 fans already securing their place to one of the most anticipated event that begins in one month’s time.
A statement issued by the International Cricket Council (ICC) said that fans from 82 different countries have purchased tickets to watch the world’s best players from 16 international teams at the T20I World Cup 2022.
The event will mark the return of full stadiums at ICC events for the first time since the Women’s T20 World Cup in 2020, which culminated with 86,174 fans for the final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
Accessible pricing for families has seen over 85,000 children’s tickets sold, with tickets just $5 for kids at all First Round and Super 12 matches — adult prices start from $20.
"The India v Pakistan fixture at the MCG on October 23 is sold out, with additional standing room tickets snapped up within minutes of going on sale. An official re-sale platform will be launched closer to the event, where fans can exchange tickets at face value," the statement read.
