India and Pakistan will face each other on June 26 at the National Stadium in Karachi. Ahead of the match PCB authorities have fixed the highest ticket price at Rs 2700. The rise of ticket price has been fuelled by Shoaib Malik led team’s recent tri-series win over India in Dhaka.

Press Trust Of India reported:

"Look the Indian team is always a salable side in international cricket and it is no surprise everyone wants to cash in on their popularity and standing," Saleem Qazi, the senior marketing executive of a leading group said.

The last time India toured Pakistan in 2006, the highest ticket price for an ODI in Karachi was Rs 2000.

The Rs 2700 price range has been set for the top enclosures named after Hanif Muhammad, Javed Miandad and Fazal Mehmood.

No doubt, it is unbearable for the middle class people. And for the highest price of ticket many people may not be able to see the match live on stadium.
