Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2025: PCB Unveils Budget-Friendly Tickets to Boost Fan Attendance
Lahore, May 25, 2025 — In a welcome move for cricket fans, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced affordable ticket prices for the upcoming Pakistan vs Bangladesh T20I and ODI series, scheduled to begin in early June 2025. The decision aims to make stadiums more accessible to families and young cricket enthusiasts, ensuring greater attendance and local engagement.
The series will include three T20 Internationals and three One Day Internationals, hosted in Lahore and Rawalpindi. PCB officials confirmed that the ticket prices will start as low as PKR 100, with premium enclosures capped at PKR 1,500 — a fraction of what fans pay for international matches in other countries.
According to a PCB spokesperson, the decision was made to "make live cricket an affordable experience for every Pakistani." By keeping ticket prices within reach of the average citizen, the PCB hopes to fill stadiums and create an electrifying atmosphere for the home team.
Cricket analysts have praised the move, noting that high ticket prices in recent years had discouraged many from attending matches in person. With this new pricing strategy, the PCB is positioning itself to rekindle interest in domestic-hosted international cricket, especially among school and college-age fans.
The matches are expected to draw large crowds, especially considering the intense rivalry and close contests between Pakistan and Bangladesh in recent years. Both teams are preparing for the ICC Champions Trophy in 2025, making this series a key build-up with strong playing elevens on both sides.
To simplify the ticketing process, the PCB has partnered with major online platforms like Bookme.pk and has also arranged physical ticket counters in key cities. Fans will be able to purchase tickets online or directly from outlets, with national ID verification to ensure smooth entry.
💡 Highlights of PCB's Ticket Pricing Strategy:
-
General enclosure: PKR 100 – PKR 300
-
First-class enclosure: PKR 500
-
VIP enclosure: PKR 1,000
-
Hospitality & Premium boxes: Up to PKR 1,500
Additionally, the PCB announced discounts for students, seniors, and families. ID verification and group packages will be available to encourage safe and family-friendly attendance.
Security arrangements have also been intensified. Police and security forces will be deployed around stadiums, and walk-through gates, surveillance cameras, and ticket scanning systems will be in full effect.
Fans across the country have responded positively on social media, using hashtags like #CricketForAll and #PAKvBAN2025 to celebrate the PCB initiative.
