Second Test Ticket Prices Announced by PCB
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced second Test ticket prices for the match against Sri Lanka in Rawalpindi, with general tickets priced at Rs200 a day and sales starting at 3pm on Thursday, November 12.
Tickets for the second Test will go on sale at designated TCS Express Centres across the country. The match will be played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium from November 17 to 21, as originally scheduled.
In a move to help fans, the PCB has set ticket prices at Rs200 per day for all enclosures, including the VIP enclosure, for each of the five days. Tickets for the PCB Gallery, in the stadium’s main building, will cost Rs800 per person per day. Fans who want to watch from the Platinum Box will pay Rs8,000 per person per day.
Second Test ticket prices follow the venue switch
The second Test was originally scheduled for the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. The PCB announced on Tuesday that it would move the match to Rawalpindi, citing prevailing weather conditions and rising smog levels in the Punjab capital.
PCB spokesperson Amir Mir confirmed the move, and the board has now followed it with the ticket details. The dates have not changed, so the match will still run from November 17 to 21, only at a different ground.
Rawalpindi will now host both Tests of the two-match series. The first Test is already under way at the same ground, and the second will follow a week after it ends.
What fans need to know
Tickets go on sale at 3pm on Thursday, November 12, at TCS Express Centres across the country. Fans should plan ahead: the Rs200 general tickets cover every enclosure, including the VIP enclosure, which makes the cheapest seats in the ground unusually good value.
The PCB Gallery, at Rs800 a day, sits in the stadium’s main building. The Platinum Box, at Rs8,000 a day, is the premium option for fans who want the best seats for all five days.
The prices match the pattern of the first Test. Ticket prices for the opening Test also started at Rs200 a day, and they stayed the same for all five days of that match. Those tickets went on sale on Friday, November 6, at 2pm. Fans who attended the first match will find the same rates for the second.
Both matches are part of the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle. The first Test has been shaped by centuries from Sri Lanka’s Dhananjaya de Silva and Kusal Mendis, who took the visitors to 404 for four on day three. Pakistan’s three debutants made history in the first innings, matching a record from 1992, and Rahmat Shah became the first Afghan batter to enter the ICC Test top ten this week.
For fans in Lahore, the move to Rawalpindi means a trip to watch the second Test in person. For fans in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, it means two Tests in a row at their home ground, with tickets at the same prices as the first match.
