Metro area cricket fans will have the opportunity Tuesday morning to buy previously unavailable tickets for matches in the upcoming ICC Men's T20 Cricket World Cup being held in New York in June.
That'll be a relief for cricket fans eager to see the first World Cup cricket matches ever in the U.S. The price of entry for some matches has soared above $11,000 on ticket resale sites.
Tickets for the India vs. Ireland match on June 5 and the USA vs. India match on June 12 will be available to the public starting at 10 a.m. on the website set up for T20 World Cup tickets. Those matches will be held at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in East Meadow, Long Island, the 34,000-set venue currently under construction.
The matches are among 51, in both the United States and West Indies, for which tickets will be available Tuesday for the June 1-29 tournament. Eight of the 55 matches will take place on Long Island. The finals will take place in Barbados on June 29.
The price for tickets for India vs. Ireland and USA vs. India is expected to cost $60 to $70 for standard-level tickets and as high as $200 for premium-level seats.
