PCB Ticket Prices Start At Rs300 For Sri Lanka T20Is
PCB ticket prices for Pakistan's home season start at Rs300. That is the general enclosure seat for the Twenty20 international series against Sri Lanka in Rawalpindi. The board published the full ladder on Thursday. It set the sale calendar at the same time. Online sales open first, on 3 October. A one day tri-series with England and Sri Lanka follows later in the month.
Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium hosts all three T20 internationals. They run from 9 to 13 October. The ground then shares the tri-series with Lahore.

Tri-series split between two venues
Pakistan, England and Sri Lanka play from 18 to 31 October. Rawalpindi takes a share of the matches. Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore takes the rest. Prices run from Rs200 to Rs25,000, according to ARY News. The figure varies by match and by ground. England are scheduled into both of the board's main northern venues inside a fortnight.
Tests follow in November
A two match Test series against Sri Lanka comes next. ARY News gives the dates as 9 to 13 November and 17 to 21 November. The venues are Rawalpindi and Lahore again. Ticket details have not been released.
That leaves four separate on sale moments across October. Each opens online before it opens at a counter. The gap is two days for the T20 series. It is four days for the tri-series. Buyers working in blocks get the online window first in every case.
