Or they could have had a game with the defending champions.

Best chance for some people to actually be able to get a ticket to see a match at the ground?

So you think that people in Pakistan are so jobless to watch a rather one-sided match in a stadium just so they get to watch a match in the stadium?? Nah...people who wanna go to the stadium somehow manage getting tickets for big matches too...

TBH, it's not right to talk about that if you havn't been to Pakistan.

 

[khalek]

Too bad there havent been any worth watching games. All results were 99% already decided...Why would a stadium be packed in a Pakistan or India vs Hong Kong match??

yeah i know so far the matches have been one sided except ban vs uae but what i mean is that i except at least 50-70 spectators to make it feel like its international cricket not a practice match...

Notice the question mark at the end of the sentence.

Take Wimbledon for example. There are plenty of smaller matches with lesser known players on the smaller courts. People still turn up because it's their best chance of getting a ticket because the demand will be too high for the bigger matches.

Yes...but Pakistan is a completely different country as hosts and you will never get lots of spectators in smaller matches. Tennis and Cricket are 2 waaaay different sports.

Yeah, I've noticed that with Pakistani crowds. Not many people turn up for test matches either. In India, in test matches, people generally just show up when India is batting. Nobody wants to see our bowling .

 

[usy]

Well, It's just that people who have the money can't be bothered going at 30-40°C. Though the thing is not that they only come to Pakistani games.

Test matches is another story, people like ODI more in Pakland.

 

[Leggie]

ODI's are what makes the most money in Pakistan and India.

 

[usy]

Thats exactly the thing, Test match tickets are actully cheaper I guess in Subcontinent.

I remember...the one test series in Sharjah...the tickets for it were so cheap and they even knew that alot of people wouldnt come to watch the matches. School students were free to enter the ground wearing the school uniforms...lol

 

[SciD]

: T20 have ridiculously high rates considering its only 3 hours.

 

[usy]

Thats because the entertainment level and crowd activity is high, ofcorse.

Also, a test match is good enough to make you fall sleep.

 

[SciD]

Yeah and empty seats help when you are sleeping.
