Pakistan Cricket Board introduced the ticket prices for the 8th edition of the much awaited HBL PSL.
However the fans, specially those who live in Rawalpindi were left disappointed due to the massive hike in the ticket prices. They took their dismay to twitter and are demanding that PCB slash the prices.
Netizens Express Disappointment On Twitter
“These ticket prices are quite unfairly high looking at current conditions of our stadiums and overall fan experience! At least ticket prices should be low to get some attention from public”

At least ticket prices should be low to get some attention from public🤷🏻♂️🙄
“What a pathetic decision by @TheRealPCB. A clown act by @najamsethi, how will fans pay for these expensive tkts in this increasing inflation? Fans should boycott from going into the stadium till these high prices gets lower.”
“It is really shocking to see too much hike in #psl8tickets price!!
General ticket is for 1000? Seriously?”
“Massive Hike in Prices of Tickets for #PSL8 Itni Mehngi Tickets, Phir boltay ho Stadium nhi ata koi @najamsethi Use this hashtag #FansRejectPSLTicketPrices“
“Empty & half filled stadiums will be a regular sight this season if the prices aren’t revised. How can the middle & working class + students afford such hefty prices amid all the inflation? BTF that PCB earns the majority of its revenue from broadcast deals not gate money.”

“Do you think a middleclass family can spend thousands of rupees just on PSL tickets?The transportation and eatables will further increase expenses. PCB should understand no one can afford spending thousands of rupees on PSL8 in the high time of inflation in the country.”
“I was genuinely so excited about PSL but after looking at the ticket price chart, saying that I’m disappointed is an understatement. I mean is it necessary to make one good thing in our country so freaking expensive…”
