The most exciting match in world cricket is the India-Pakistan match. The two teams will meet in the T20 World Cup on Sunday, October 24.

With a large number of Indian and Pakistani nationals in the UAE, everyone is eager to watch the match live. Tickets for this match, however, have already run out. Tickets for this match to be held on Sunday have been sold out two weeks ago. In the first 30 minutes, the ticket waiting has crossed 13 thousand.

From ordinary people to billionaires, all the tour packages in Dubai were sold out for the match as they were emotionally attached to the country. People are coming from USA and Canada to watch the match.

According to Dainik Bhaskar, people from America and Canada have bought packages for the match. Talking to the newspaper, Alidus, the supervisor of Dubai-based travel company Dadabhai, said that 500 packages with one night stay were issued along with match tickets. But all these are booked.

The cost of one package was Rs 40,700. On the other hand, restaurants and bars in Dubai are also bringing new offers to entice people. Danube Group Vice-Chairman Anees Sajan has given match tickets to 100 workers through a lucky draw.

In the first 30 minutes, all the tickets for the match were sold out. The waiting list also crossed 13 thousand. Tickets are being sold on many websites at 4 to 5 times the price.

Some companies even made hundreds of tickets available to employees through lucky draws. Employees who cannot go to the stadium to watch the match are allowed to watch the match at the company.

According to Afzal Azam, manager of Kanu Travels in Dubai, the demand for ticket bookings and hotel bookings from India for the World Cup has skyrocketed. Due to the Dubai Expo, there is already no space left in the hotel in Dubai. This demand could be even stronger until the World Cup semi-finals and final.

The broadcasters, who are telecasting the match live, are charging Rs 25 lakh to Rs 30 lakh for a 10-second commercial on October 24. This was the highest rate charged during a sports event on Indian TV.

There have also been several slot books. Earlier, the price of this slot was nine and a half lakhs. Star Channel has bought the broadcasting rights of the World Cup for Star Sports for Rs 900 crore and Disney-Hotstar for Rs 275 crore.
