ICC releases standing tickets for India-Pakistan T20 WC clash

The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Thursday said it was going to release standing room tickets for the highly anticipated ICC T20 World Cup match between India and Pakistan at the MCG, to be held on October 23.

The general tickets for the marquee game were sold out within five minutes of going on sale in February.

Over 4000 standing room tickets will be available for 30 Australian dollars and sold on a first come, first served basis, said the International Cricket Council.

"The ticket release ensures that as many fans as possible can attend the fixture scheduled to be played on Sunday 23 October. A limited number of packages also remain available for purchase via the ICC Hospitality and ICC Travel & Tours programmes," said the ICC.

"Fans who miss out on tickets can still book their place to see the world's best cricketers at other T20 World Cup matches, with kids tickets starting from just $5 and adult tickets from $20," the ICC said.

"Tickets are also still available to the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Final, also being played at the MCG on 13 November."
