As India prepare to tour Pakistan for the first time in 14 years, the Pakistan Cricket Board has responded to the massive demand for tickets by launching an online service for customers all round the world, and already it has generated a massive response.
The initiative, in partnership with Wisden Cricinfo, resulted in 700 sales on the first night alone, with fans preparing to fly in from Britain and the USA, as well as more exotic locations such as Hong Kong and the United Arab Emirates.
The Pakistan Cricket Board intends to allocate a fifth of all stadium seats to Indian supporters, but they do not intend to segregate the fans and their online service is open to allcomers. The first of five one-day internationals kicks off in Karachi on March 13, and will be followed by three Tests at Lahore, Rawalpindi and Multan.
