Cricket fans across Pakistan can now plan their stadium visits as the Pakistan Cricket Board has unveiled ticket pricing for the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka, with entry-level passes available for as low as Rs200.
Ticket sales for the opening Test match in Rawalpindi will launch this Friday, November 6, at 2pm through designated TCS Express Centres nationwide, the PCB confirmed in an official announcement.
The pricing structure aims to make cricket accessible to fans from all economic backgrounds. General admission, First Class, Premium, and VIP enclosure tickets are all uniformly priced at Rs200 per day for the five-day match. This affordable entry point represents a significant effort by the board to fill stadiums and create a vibrant home atmosphere.
For those seeking premium experiences, the PCB Gallery seats will cost Rs800 per person per day, while the most exclusive Platinum Box tickets carry a price tag of Rs8,000 per person per day.
The first Test between Pakistan and Sri Lanka will take place at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium from November 9-13, followed by the second Test in Lahore scheduled for November 17-21. Both matches count toward the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle, adding competitive significance beyond bilateral pride.
The PCB has not yet announced ticket sale arrangements for the Lahore Test but promised details would follow at a later date. The staggered announcement likely allows the board to assess demand and adjust logistics based on the Rawalpindi response.
Home Test cricket has become increasingly precious for Pakistani fans after years of playing neutral-venue matches due to security concerns. The return of regular international cricket to Pakistani soil has reignited passionate stadium culture, with fans eager to support the national team in person.
The series comes at a crucial time for Pakistan cricket, which has faced recent challenges in Test format performances. Strong home support could prove vital as the team seeks to climb the World Test Championship standings and build momentum.
With affordable pricing and the excitement of hosting Sri Lanka, the PCB appears determined to create packed stadiums that showcase Pakistan’s cricket-loving culture to the world. Fans interested in attending are advised to purchase tickets early, as demand for home Test matches typically runs high.
