The official ticketing partner for the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 final between India and South Africa at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai, Book My Show, didn’t release a single ticket for the most anticipated clash. The website, after showing the tickets for the previous two days, closed the event of ticket selling just a little over 24 hours before the start of the final.
In the Women’s World Cup 2025, the prices for the tickets have begun from INR 100 throughout the entire competition to make sure several fans engage with the game, making them accessible to a wider audience. With the clock ticking down on the championship clash, the fans remain in the dark on when they will be able to secure their seats.

The cricket fans were left frustrated after the tickets for the final were listed as ‘sold out’ even before any fresh sale announcement. The sudden unavailability sparked criticism of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and its organizers for the lack of organization and transparency.

Several users on X (formerly known as Twitter) posted pictures of how the ticketing pages switched from ‘coming soon’ to ‘sold out’ in a span of a few minutes, which left the fans with no chance of buying the tickets. “Wow @bookmyshow, that was lightning fast! Tickets for the ICC Women’s World Cup Final went from ‘Coming Soon’ to ‘Sold Out’ faster than a Harmanpreet Kaur cover drive.” One fan wrote.

In the second semi-final in Navi Mumbai, India chased down a record chase of 339 runs against Australia, thanks to the fine unbeaten knock of 127 runs in 134 balls at a strike rate of 94.78, riding on 14 boundaries.
