What in the world is happening with the Women’s World Cup final tickets? India is set to face South Africa in a historic final on November 2, 2025, but fans can’t even buy a ticket. Instead, they’re seeing prices skyrocket to an unbelievable ₹1,77,850 on resale sites, and they are absolutely furious.
Key Takeaways
- Tickets for the IND-W vs SA-W final are being sold for as high as ₹1,77,850 on resale platforms.
- Official partner BookMyShow’s page went from “Coming Soon” to “Sold Out” with no public sale.
- Fans are accusing the BCCI and ICC of “daylight robbery” and gross mismanagement.
- The final is historic, as neither India nor South Africa has ever won the Women’s ODI World Cup.
So, Where Did The Tickets Go?
Look, this is a mess. For days, fans eagerly watched the official BookMyShow page for the final at Navi Mumbai’s D.Y. Patil Stadium. It just said “Coming Soon.” Everyone was waiting. And then, on November 1, it suddenly changed to “Sold Out” or “Event Closed.” Just like that. No announcement, no sale window, nothing. It left thousands of genuine supporters completely stranded.
You’d think getting tickets for a World Cup final would be straightforward, right? Apparently not. The initial talk was that tickets would start from a reasonable ₹100-₹150, but that seems like a distant dream now. The whole situation feels chaotic and completely unfair to the people who actually want to support the team in the stadium.
Fans Are Calling It ‘Shameless Exploitation’
The backlash was immediate and fierce. Social media exploded with fans calling this a “daylight robbery.” How can tickets that were never officially sold suddenly appear on resale sites like Viagogo for astronomical prices? VIP section tickets are listed for over ₹1.7 lakh. It’s madness.

This isn’t just about money. It’s about trust. Fans feel cheated. They’re accusing the BCCI and ICC of poor planning and a total lack of transparency. This whole fiasco is drawing ugly comparisons to the logistical nightmares seen during the Men’s ODI World Cup in 2023. It seems no lessons were learned.
A Historic Final Mired in Controversy
And here’s the thing, this final is a massive deal. India is in its third final, and South Africa is in its first. Neither team has ever lifted the Women’s ODI World Cup trophy. India’s journey here was epic, especially after that record chase against the mighty seven-time champs Australia in the semi-final. This match deserves a packed, passionate stadium, not empty seats because of corporate greed.
While this storm rages, BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia mentioned the board’s commitment to women’s cricket, hoping a win could have a 1983-like impact. But honestly, it’s hard to focus on that when fans who are the heart of the game are being treated so poorly.
What Happens Next?
The final is on November 2. Will the organizers step in? Will there be any accountability for this mess? Fans are demanding answers, but with only a day to go, many have lost hope of watching this historic game live. What do you think should be done to fix this kind of ticket chaos for good?
