BookMyShow Accused of Making Less India vs Pakistan ICC World Cup 2023 Match Tickets Available Online Despite Narendra Modi Stadium’s Massive Capacity, Fans React

The ICC World Cup 2023 is not much far and there's undeniably a huge rush amongst the fans for the tickets. The rush for tickets for one of the marquee matches--the India vs Pakistan game on October 14 is expectedly high and fans have been trying their best to grab onto them as soon and as quickly as possible before they run out. However, several fans on social media have accused BookMyShow, the ticketing partner of the ICC World Cup 2023 of making fewer tickets available despite the massive capacity of the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The Narendra Modi Stadium, which is the world's largest, has a capacity of seating 132,000 spectators. Fans have expressed their unhappiness towards the ticket-booking platform after these posts went viral. BookMyShow, however, later came up with a response. Disappointed Fans React After Facing Long ‘Queues’ While Buying India vs Pakistan ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Tickets Online.
