Tickets for the Asia Cup 2025 are now on sale. Cricket fans are moving quickly to secure seats, especially for the India-Pakistan match on September 14 in Dubai. The Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) is organizing the T20 event across Dubai and Abu Dhabi from September 9 to 28.
In an effort to manage demand and streamline access to marquee games, the ECB has launched a unique ticketing system. Tickets for India’s group stage matches, including their opener against the UAE on September 10 and the face-off with arch-rivals Pakistan, are being sold as part of a seven-match package, which also includes key Super Four stage encounters.
The seven-match package starts at Dh1,400 for general admission. Premium options range from Dh2,950 to Dh13,000 for a Grand Lounge experience. Pavilion access costs Dh3,950, and Platinum hospitality is Dh6,600.
"India matches, especially against Pakistan, are very popular. We need strict ticketing to ensure true fans get fair access and to reduce fake tickets," an ECB representative said.
Organisers warn about fake tickets on unofficial sites. Buy only through the official Platinum List platform or stadium counters, where tickets will soon be available.
Fans can buy single tickets for non-India group matches. Prices start at Dh40 for Abu Dhabi and Dh50 for Dubai games.
Adding to the updates, match timings have been adjusted due to weather conditions. Initially scheduled to start at 6:00 p.m. local time, all fixtures will now begin at 6:30 p.m. The ECB cited high evening temperatures, referencing the ongoing UAE-Afghanistan-Pakistan tri-series, which starts at 7pm, as the reason behind the shift.
The Asia Cup 2025 will kick off with Afghanistan facing Hong Kong in Abu Dhabi on September 9. India’s group stage campaign includes matches against the UAE, Pakistan, and Oman, with the much-anticipated final slated for September 28 in Dubai.
As anticipation builds, fans are being urged to act fast. With demand for India’s matches skyrocketing, especially for the September 14 encounter, securing official tickets early will be key to avoiding disappointment.
