The International Cricket Council (ICC) has officially initiated the public ticket ballot for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024, set to close on February 7, 2024. Breaking away from the conventional first-come, first-served approach, this ballot system aims to provide an equal and fair chance for fans globally to secure seats for the prestigious T20 cricket event. Fans can apply for up to six tickets per match, and there are no restrictions on the number of matches one can request during the seven-day application window, open until February 7, 2024, at 11:59 PM Antigua Standard Time. Chris Tetley, the Head of Events at the ICC, expressed enthusiasm about the release of tickets for the T20 World Cup, slated to be held in the West Indies and the USA. The ballot system ensures a level playing field for fans worldwide, with applications accepted at any time within the specified window.

Witness the grand spectacle of the biggest-ever Men's T20 World Cup, featuring 20 teams competing in 55 matches over 29 days. Following the ballot closure, any remaining tickets will be available to the public on February 22 at tickets.t20worldcup.com. Ticket prices range from $6 to $25, aiming to make them accessible to a broad fan base. After the ballot concludes, ticket holders will receive detailed match information via email, along with payment instructions. To facilitate a smooth process, links will be provided for timely payment, and unclaimed tickets will be returned to the pool for other fans to purchase. Be part of the action as the T20 World Cup 2024 unfolds, promising the largest-ever edition with 55 matches scheduled from June 1 to June 29, spanning nine cities, including three in the US and six in the Caribbean.
