For the IND vs PAK clash, the general match tickets are priced at $6, while the most expensive ones are priced at $400 without taxes, with ICC not taking any additional fees for the tickets.

But on the reselling sites, the tickets are being listed at outrageous prices. The amount for the VIP ticket of the Indo-Pak cricket clash is priced at $40,000 each, excluding the added fee, which brings the total to $50,000, as per USA Today.

Moreover, the most expensive ticket available on SeatGeek for the India vs. Pakistan game is around $175,000, plus $50,000 in additional costs, making the total cost little less than a quarter of a million dollars.
