Pakistani cricket fans are excited about the ICC Trophy 2025 in Dubai. But they might face issues like strict visa rules and new ticketing systems.
Tough Visa Rules for Fans
Traveling to Dubai for the ICC Trophy 2025 will not be easy. Strict visa rules mean only those with a good travel history might get visas. First-time travelers could find it hard to get approval. Fans must also show they have bought match tickets. These new rules might make it harder for some fans to join.
No Free Passes for Matches
There will be no free passes for the matches this time. Fans must buy tickets online. Tickets will not be sold at physical counters. This digital system could be a problem for people who are not used to online buying. Fans should learn how to buy tickets online to avoid trouble.
Ticket Pricing Details
Ticket prices start at Rs1,000. This makes it affordable for many fans. Premium tickets, like for Pakistan vs. India matches, will cost between Rs25,000 and Rs30,000. Tickets will be sold in phases. First, group stage tickets will be released. Later, tickets for semi-finals and finals will be available. This way, fans get more chances to buy tickets.
