The Asian Cricket Council has announced that official tickets for the Asia Cup in the UAE are “not yet released.”
In a statement to cricket fans on X, the council warned: “Any tickets currently available are unauthorized, fraudulent, and will not permit entry.”
Tickets for this eagerly awaited event quickly sell out. During the last India-Pakistan encounter in the UAE for the ICC Champions Trophy, many fans waited in line for over an hour only to find out that all tickets were sold out.

Earlier, Khaleej Times reported that counterfeit tickets are already being sold for high-demand matches like the India-Pakistan game on September 14.
Some of these are “sponsored” websites appearing prominently on Google search results.
Their prime position on the search results makes it easier for unsuspecting fans to click and fall victim to scams. One site is offering a ‘VIP’ pass for over Dh11,000. Other reselling websites are also inflating prices.
The council stated that an official ticket sales announcement will be made soon by the Asian Cricket Council and Emirates Cricket Board.
