The 2025 Champions Trophy final is set for March 9, but fans can buy tickets only four days before the match. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has confirmed that ticket sales will begin only after the first semi-final on March 4.
Why Are Tickets Being Released Late?
The ICC has adopted a hybrid model for this tournament. India has refused to travel to Pakistan, leading to a split in match locations. India’s matches will be played in Dubai, including the first semi-final if they qualify.
- If India reaches the final, the match will take place in Dubai.
- If India does not qualify, all knockout matches, including the final, will be held in Pakistan (Lahore).
- This uncertainty is the reason for the late ticket release.
