Pakistan Super League 2018 - Crowd Watch

Hoping to see packed out crowds starting from Lahore on Tuesday. I hope they make more noise than last year's final though, there was a full crowd but they were a bit dull last year.

Well I don't know which genius decided to hold a qualifier in Dubai on a Sunday, which is essentially a Monday there

Doesn't make sense. Why put the final and 2 play offs in Pakistan but the first play off in UAE. Surely just more practical to hold the group stage in UAE and all play offs + final in Pakistan.

I thought it was a very good crowd today actually.
 
The last I recall of Karachi stadium is from playing the Brian Lara 2007 game. Hopefully it's a spectacle.
 
Then the info is not correct as the crowd was really good in terms of noise and numbers for such a huge stadium.

Bit off there with the info.

The picture was from the TV telecast, 5 minutes before the start of the game.

Either they were showing incorrect footage or the crowd started coming in after the start of the game. I couldn't watch much of the actual match so not really aware of the crowd afterwards etc. but a few people have said it was pretty good so I assume that's accurate.

Anyway, no big deal. Hope the whole PSL is held in Pakistan next time around.
 
IU VS KK crowd as decent for the UAE. I mean dont expect anything bigger than that. In Pakistan however I expect a big crowd, especially in karachi. I'll be pretty angry if there are empty seats!!
 
I hope we see better crowds in Pakistan.. The following report is not very encouraging..

May be they they priced it too high there were not make takers at that price. But overall we will see full crowd.. I am assuming atleast half of 8500 security personnel also will be inside the stadium.. That also should help

Let us worry about it.





If you really want to know 3,500 is just 6.5% of the total tickets available for the two matches.

man you are very defensive.. sure 6.5%, but you do realize that these matches are being organized after a very long time and both are final stages matches.. anyone would expect that each and every ticket is sold out..

Forget the commercial aspects, the fact is that PSL has united Pakistan!
