Cricket fever is set to rise in Dharamshala as the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) prepares for the T20 match scheduled on December 14 at the iconic HPCA international cricket stadium.
Officials have announced that offline ticket sales will begin from December 11, providing fans another opportunity to secure their seats for the much-awaited encounter.
Starting Thursday (December 11, 2025), HPCA will set up an offline ticket counter at the stadium gates, where fans can begin purchasing tickets after 10 am. Ticket distribution will follow the first-come, first-served system, with early arrivals getting preference for the remaining lower-priced seats.
Online ticket sales are currently underway, with prices ranging from Rs 1,500 for the cheapest category to Rs 20,000 for the premium seating. The affordable ticket categories have already sold out online, prompting many fans to wait for the offline sale to try their luck.
HPCA officials say all arrangements for the offline counters have been completed to ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience for visitors. “We want to ensure that cricket fans face no inconvenience while purchasing their tickets,” an official said.
Stadium closed to public ahead of match
In preparation for the event, the HPCA stadium will be closed to tourists and general visitors from Wednesday. Entry will remain suspended until after the match concludes. HPCA Secretary Avnish Parmar stated that the move is necessary to facilitate match preparations and avoid disruptions.
Fans who have booked tickets online can also collect their hard copies from the stadium’s box office starting December 11, HPCA joint secretary Vishal Sharma confirmed.
With ticket counters ready and excitement building, Dharamshala is all set to welcome thousands of cricket enthusiasts for a thrilling T20 showdown.
