Over 15,000 tickets have been sold over the past one week for the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 to be held in England and Wales from 1-18 June.
This means that eight out of the 15 fixtures are now sold out and that ticket sales at this stage has already exceeded those for the ICC Champions Trophy 2013, which was also held at the three venues being used this time – Cardiff Wales Stadium, Edgbaston and The Oval.
It also takes ticket applications to beyond 500,000 from 60 countries, since the ballot last September.
For England fans, limited tickets remain for the game against New Zealand in Cardiff on 6 June but the matches against Bangladesh on 1 June and arch rival Australia on 10 June are sell-outs. All the matches involving defending champion India, as well as the semi-finals and final are also sold out.
Predictably, there was huge demand for the India v Pakistan, England v Australia and the ICC Champions Trophy final at The Oval on 18 June - all of which were oversubscribed across every price band.
***********
India-Pakistan sell out was obvious but I'm more happier for the England - Australia sell out.
Looks like Asians are not the only fans who are looking forward to this tournament, unlike what some fans would like us to believe.
