The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 is expected to welcome fans of all ages and backgrounds,
with over 500,000 supporters already confirming their place in the tournament, which kicks off in one month, according to the ICC.
Extra tickets are sold too quick
The India vs. Pakistan match at the MCG on October 23 is completely sold out, with extra standing room tickets selling out within minutes of being on sale. The ICC said that an official re-sale website would be available closer to the tournament, when fans will be able to swap tickets at face value.
People from 82 nations have purchased tickets to see the world’s finest players from 16 international teams, marking the return of full stadiums at ICC events for the first time since the Women’s T20 World Cup in 2020, which drew 86,174 fans to the final at the MCG, it said.
