How to buy PSL tickets
The much-awaited Pakistan Super League Season 9 is set to start on 17 February 2024. Cricket fans worldwide are eagerly waiting for the details about buying tickets online for PSL 9. The prices of PSL 9 tickets are yet to be announced by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). But usually, tickets are divided into 5 different pricing ranges: General, First Class, Premium, VIP, and Hospitality Enclosure or VVIP.
The ticket prices vary for each category across different venues. To attend a match in the VIP enclosure of Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium, the cost ranges from 2900 to 6000 PKR. Similarly, for the VIP enclosure at Karachi's National Stadium, the prices range from 2900 to 5000 PKR. General seating at any venue typically requires a payment of 650 to 1000 PKR, while first-class seating falls within the range of 650 to 2000 PKR. Premium seating is priced between 1900 to 3000 PKR. It is important to note that as of January 9, 2024, the PCB has not yet announced the ticket prices and the aforementioned rates are indicative.
M&P, or TCS M&P, is a well-established courier service in Pakistan, offering a range of logistics solutions, including domestic and international parcel services. Known for its widespread network of offices, M&P facilitates diverse services, from courier deliveries to ticketing assistance for events like the PSL.
M&P serves as a reliable offline avenue for purchasing PSL tickets. Their offices are conveniently located in major cities and smaller towns throughout the country, providing accessibility to a wide audience. It's worth mentioning that M&P served as the offline ticketing partner until the previous year; however, the official offline ticketing partner for PSL 9 is yet to be announced by the PCB.
How to buy PSL tickets online
For those who prefer convenience, online ticket purchasing is available. However, it's important to book tickets as quickly as possible because they tend to sell out in minutes to a few hours.
Visit the official PSL website or authorized ticketing platforms. Until last year, the authorized online ticketing platform was bookme.pk, but the PCB has yet to announce the online ticketing partner for PSL 2024.
To buy PSL tickets online, browse the schedule to select the match and venue you're interested in. Choose your preferred seating category. Complete the registration process, providing the necessary details, including your shipping address where the tickets will be couriered. Proceed to payment using secure options like Nift, EasyPaisa, JazzCash, or a credit card. Confirm your purchase and receive a confirmation email with your e-ticket or QR code. However, it is important to note that entry is not allowed with e-ticket. You will need to show a physical copy of the ticket, which will be sent to you via courier.
How to buy PSL final match tickets?
PSL 2024 is scheduled to take place from 17 February to 18 March 2024. In the league stage of the tournament, each team will play in a double round-robin format, facing every other team twice.
