PSL tickets

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has finalized PSL 6 ticket selling policy and it will go online within the next 48 hours.

According to sources, fans can buy only one PSL 6 ticket per CNIC whereas children below 18 are required to register with their B-form number.

As many as 14 Enclosures here at the National Stadium will be opened to cater to the maximum capacity of 7500 ticketed people in each match. Out of these 14, two will be just for families.

Seat numbers will be allocated to each ticket holder and a gap of three seats will be mandatory between families/people. Food stalls will be installed outside the enclosures, sources added.

On the other hand, the ticket prices will be slightly high as compared to last year.

“The final decision on ticket prices are yet to be made by the PCB. But, they will be slightly high than last year. Buyers must register their proper CNIC and B-form (below 18) number to buy the tickets,” CEO – bookme.pk said.

Moreover, the PCB has signed an agreement with an e-ticketing platform for the sale of tickets.

The PSL 6 will begin from February 20th at Karachi’s National Stadium. In this regard, the NCOC has permitted PCB to allow a limited number of spectators in the stadiums with strict COVID-19 SOPs, including social distancing.

“With a socially distant seating plan cricket fans can now be a part of the game again as both HBL PSL 6 venues Karachi and Lahore will have 20% of the total seating capacity of the stadiums available for the spectators,” the cricket board said in the statement.
