The International Cricket Council has announced the release of additional tickets and hospitality packages for the upcoming Men’s T20 Cricket World Cup in the United States and West Indies.
The additional tickets and hospitality packages will be available to purchase on the official T20 website starting at 9 a.m. EST / 10 a.m. Antigua Standard Time on Tuesday, March 19. Tickets will be available for matches at all nine host locations, including for fixtures where tickets are currently unavailable. However, they will only be available for 51 of the 55 matches.
“Public tickets remain unavailable for four matches, including USA v Canada (Jun 1), India v Pakistan (9 Jun), India v Canada (15 Jun) and the Final in Barbados (Jun 29),” said the ICC in a news release Thursday.
More than 3 million people signed up for tickets during the public ballot that ran earlier this year from Feb. 1 to Feb. 7 and not everyone was able to score tickets through that. The ICC hopes the expansion of the public tickets will allow more supporters to experience the tournament.
“With less than 80 days to the start of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, this announcement is an emphatic response to the global call from fans to make additional tickets available for matches and we are thrilled to be able to do this, while ensuring that as many people as possible have the opportunity to witness the biggest Carnival of Cricket in person,” said Tournament Director Fawwaz Baksh in a statement. The ICC is also offering a hospitality program for the T20 World Cup, which will also open on March 19 at 9 a.m. EST / 10 a.m. Antigua Standard Time.
“Fans will be able to choose from a range of premium private suites and individual food and beverage packages across the West Indies and all fixtures at Nassau County International Stadium in New York,” the ICC said. “Packages for fixtures at Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium and Broward County Stadium will be released at a later date.”
General tickets for the 2024 T20 World Cup were available to purchase on first-come-first-serve basis on the tournament website from Feb. 22. While tickets for popular matches sold out almost immediately, there almost 37 matches for which tickets are still available. Ticket prices start at $6 for matches in the West Indies and at $35 for USA venues.
