KARACHI: Ticket sales for the first playoff of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 11 were briefly suspended on Tuesday after an overwhelming rush of fans caused the online system to crash.
The Qualifier 1 clash between Peshawar Zalmi and Islamabad United is scheduled to take place later today at the National Bank Stadium, marking the return of spectators to the tournament following the late approval from the government.
According to organisers, the e-ticketing service was temporarily paused due to simultaneous traffic on the booking website, with assurances that the system would resume shortly.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has set a flat ticket price of PKR 500 for all enclosures, allowing fans across the city to attend the high-stakes encounter at an affordable rate.
Tickets are available online pcb.tcs.com.pk, while additional arrangements have been made to facilitate physical sales.
Fans can purchase tickets from designated courier outlets, including centres near the Expo Centre, Gulshan-e-Iqbal and Johar Morr, starting from 10:00 a.m. A dedicated box office has also been set up at China Ground, opposite the stadium, where tickets will be available from 12pm onwards.
The surge in demand comes just a day after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif approved public attendance for all three playoff matches, easing restrictions that had kept the tournament behind closed doors due to ongoing austerity measures.
