The long-awaited release of ODI World Cup 2023 tickets, which was initially expected to happen this week, has been delayed once again. The ICC had announced the full schedule for the event on June 27, but the BCCI’s confirmation of ticket sales being online this week has not been fulfilled. The reason for the delay is reportedly due to the potential rescheduling of the India vs Pakistan match at the Narendra Modi Stadium on October 15.
The decision to reschedule the match and delay ticket sales is due to the clash with the commencement of Navratri on the same day. Managing a large number of people attending the India vs Pakistan clash and those celebrating the festival in Ahmedabad simultaneously poses significant logistical challenges and safety risks for players and fans alike.

BCCI Secretary Jay Shah has called for a meeting with state associations organizing the World Cup 2023 games on July 27 in New Delhi. Although not confirmed, it is expected that a revised schedule for the India vs Pakistan match and details regarding ticket sales will be disclosed after the meeting.
Following the announcement of the schedule by the ICC, many fans had already booked their flight and hotel tickets for India’s matches. However, the continuous delays in the ticket sales process have left some fans frustrated, while others are worried about the possibility of similar changes happening to other fixtures in the World Cup 2023.
