India v Pakistan Champions Trophy 2017 clash sold out

If you have not booked your tickets for Champions trophy matches at England, it might be too late as many of the fixtures are already sold out with almost 20 days to go.

All the matches involving India are already sold out, which include their matchup against arch-rivals Pakistan at Edgbaston. Apart from that, the semi-finals and finals are also sold out.

The last time the two teams met at Edgbaston, India lost the match by 3 wickets 13 years ago in the same tournament. England’s fixtures against Bangladesh and arch rivals are already sold out as well. There are only a limited number of seats available for England’s fixture against New Zealand. Overall, eight of the 15 fixtures are already sold out in all the three venues Edgbaston, Oval, and Cardiff.

“For England fans, limited tickets remain for the game against New Zealand in Cardiff on 6 June but the matches against Bangladesh on 1 June and arch rival Australia on 10 June are sell-outs. All the matches involving defending champion India, as well as the semi-finals and final are also sold out,” said an official from the International Cricket Council.

Tournament Director of the ICC Champions Trophy, Steve Elworthy, was overwhelmed with the response from the cricket fans. He also urged the interested fans to only buy tickets from the ICC site. They also have developed a new feature of resale service where fans can sell tickets they no longer require.

It will allow fans to sell any unwanted tickets at face value to fellow fans in a safe and secure way. This is the only way you guarantee a ticket and avoid disappointment,” concluded the tournament director.
