After India’s stunning semi-final victory over Australia, fans were eager to secure tickets for the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 final against South Africa. But excitement soon turned to frustration as tickets either displayed “coming soon” or were unavailable on official platforms.

On BookMyShow, the status read “Sold Out”, adding to fans’ growing frustration. With the final just hours away, many turned to secondary platforms, only to find tickets allegedly being resold for astronomical sums, some as high as ₹1.7 lakh.
The alleged listings drew heavy criticism online, with many calling it “shameless exploitation.” While the ₹1.7 lakh figure remains unverified, Viagogo listings showed that ticket prices had indeed soared beyond reasonable limits , though not necessarily reaching the figure mentioned.
