Frustrated fans hit out at BCCI for ticket scam of Women's World Cup 2025 final between India and South Africa
The fans have showed their frustration and hit out at the Board of Control for Cricket in India for the ticket scam ahead of the final between India and South Africa of the Women's World Cup 2025 final in Navi Mumbai.
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.

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.
