India and Sri Lanka T20 World Cup 2026 has entered the third phase of ticket sales by February 3, 2026. Given that the opening match is set to be played on February 7, ticket sales particularly for Team India fixtures have surged to an all-time high. To keep it authentic and off the “black market,” ICC has centralized all sales onto one official portal as follows:
- Official Website: tickets.cricketworldcup.com
- Official Ticket Partner: All online bookings from the official website will be redirected to BookMyShow, the sole partner for this tournament.
Note: No physical ticket counters at the stadiums during this edition. Any purchased ticket must be booked digitally as M-Tickets or only be accepted at designated box offices if an M-ticket is required in person.
Pricing (Stage 3 Updates)
To “democratize” the sport, the ICC has maintained the lowest ever entry-level prices for group games, but prices skyrocket for marquee clashes:
- General Admission (India): Prices can range from ₹100 at some venues, such as Ahmedabad and Kolkata.
- General Admission (Sri Lanka): Begin from LKR 1,000 (about ₹300)
- India vs Pakistan (Feb 15, Colombo): These were first launched at LKR 1,500 and are now only available at the premium ranges or the official hospitality packages from LKR 10,000.
- Knockout Stages (Semis & Final): Prices will be estimated to be from ₹1,500 to ₹5,000 for conventional seating.
