MELBOURNE: Cricket Australia (CA) on Monday announced that public ticket allocations for the men’s T20I game between Australia and India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) have been fully exhausted, more than three weeks ahead of the fixture scheduled to be held on October 31.
Previously, public allocations for 12 days of the five-match Ashes series between Australia and England were exhausted. CA added that the extraordinary demand for the Melbourne T20I reflects the high interest surrounding India’s white-ball tour, which has now surpassed 175, 000 tickets sold across eight matches.
“The huge crowd anticipated for the Melbourne T20I is another strong indicator of the incredible interest in this series. We’re thrilled to see fans embracing the Australia v India contest with such passion, and we look forward to delivering a world-class experience both on and off the field.
