Australia vs India Cricket Series: Ticket Demand Soars Among Fans

Excitement Builds for Australia vs India White Ball Series

The upcoming white ball series between Australia and India, scheduled for October and November, has sparked significant enthusiasm among cricket enthusiasts, especially within the Indian community. Following a surge in ticket sales for the Ashes series, the demand for the white ball matches is equally impressive, with Cricket Australia reporting over 90,000 tickets sold for the eight matches within just two weeks of public sales.

The ticket allocation for the ODI at the SCG and the T20I at Manuka Oval was completely sold out four months ahead of the matches, underscoring the high interest in these events. The T20I at MCG and the Gabba T20I are also attracting considerable attention. Notably, more than 16% of the tickets sold have been acquired by Indian fan clubs, with the Bharat Army leading the charge by purchasing over 2,400 tickets.

Another enthusiastic group, Fans India, has secured more than 1,400 tickets. Amit Goyal from Brissy Baniyas, representing the Aggarwal community, stands out as the top individual buyer with 880 tickets for the Gabba T20I. Additionally, the Indian Community of Gold Coast and Pakka Local have each bought over 500 tickets for the Gold Coast and MCG T20Is.

Joel Morrison, Executive General Manager of Events & Operations at Cricket Australia, remarked, 'The rapid sell-out of our public ticket allocation for the SCG ODI and Manuka Oval T20I four months in advance reflects the immense interest from cricket fans for the upcoming season.' He expressed excitement about the strong engagement from the Indian diaspora following a record-setting Border-Gavaskar series last summer.

'We anticipate a vibrant atmosphere at each match, thanks to the expected turnout of both Australian and Indian fans,' he added. Morrison encouraged fans to purchase tickets early to ensure they don't miss out on what is projected to be the biggest summer of cricket yet.
