Overview

• With days to go before the September 14 group match in Dubai, an unusually large number of seats remain unsold for the India–Pakistan fixture.
• Organisers opted for multi-match packages instead of single-game tickets, a move widely cited as the chief reason fans are holding back.
• Group A packages covering India, Pakistan, UAE and Oman start at AED 475 (about Rs 11,000), according to published examples.
• Premium and resale listings are steep, including a Viagogo post showing two VIP Suite East seats at roughly Rs 2,57,815 as of September 9.
• Some reports link softer interest to Virat Kohli’s absence and to boycott sentiment after the Pahalgam attack, even as India’s sports ministry says the team will participate in the multilateral event.
