Servers crash as fans line up for Champions Trophy tickets

Online ticket sales for matches in Pakistan commenced on Tuesday

Online sales for tickets to the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which began on Tuesday, were immediately met with overwhelming demand, causing the ticketing website’s servers to crash. Cricket fans reported significant difficulties purchasing tickets.

The ICC launched online ticket sales on Tuesday for the tournament, starting February 19th. While the interest from fans has been exceptionally high, the website’s servers buckled under the immense traffic, disrupting the purchasing process.

The website is working to increase server capacity to handle the high volume of traffic. Fans who purchased tickets online can collect their physical tickets from private courier company offices starting February 3.

Online ticket sales for matches in Pakistan commenced on Tuesday. The Champions Trophy will be held in Pakistan from February 19th to March 9th, with India’s matches scheduled to take place in the UAE.

Ticket prices for Pakistan matches have been set at Rs2,000 for general stands and Rs20,000 for VIP stands. For matches not involving Pakistan, tickets range from Rs1,000 to Rs7,000. One semi-final in Lahore has been priced at Rs2,500 for general stands and Rs20,000 for VIP.

The sale of tickets for the Pakistan vs. India match in Dubai will be announced at a later date.
