ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Ticket Sales: Public Ballot Date, Prices, How To Book And More

Ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has started the ticket sales for the marquee tournament with a public ballot.

The 2024 edition, which will take place from 1 to 29 June, will be the largest-ever T20 World Cup with 55 matches to be played across nine cities – three in the USA and six in the Caribbean.

Arch rivals India and Pakistan will face each other in New York on June 9 in a Group A match of the tournament. India will open their World Cup campaign with a match against Ireland on June 5 in New York.

The schedule for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup was announced last month.

ICC said that to give the fans a fair and equitable chance to apply for tickets to the world’s biggest T20 carnival, they have kept a public ticket ballot in operation. Here's all you need to know:

ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 public ticket ballot is now open and will close on February 7.

"For fans wanting to watch their favourite teams and players in action at some of the most iconic cricket stadiums in the world, the ballot is the best opportunity for them to get tickets to all the matches they want, at the venues they want and for the ticket category they want," the ICC said.

Cricket fans can apply for up to six tickets per match and for as many matches as they want at any stage during the ballot period. The ballot is not a first-come first-served system and all applicants within the seven-day window will have an equal chance of obtaining tickets.
