India tour brings seven sellouts and a new NZC ticketing record
WicketPulse · Published
New Zealand Cricket says seven of the ten white-ball matches against India have sold out, setting its record for sold-out games against one touring opposition.
Bay Oval takes the tally to seven
NZC announced the milestone on Friday 13 November after ticket allocations at Bay Oval were exhausted. The total covers the combined T20I and ODI programme, rather than seven matches in one format.
The board’s previous closest comparison was India’s 2019 visit, when four of eight white-ball matches sold out. Different tour lengths mean the two totals describe their respective programmes.
What the record measures
A sellout describes the available ticket allocation. NZC did not provide an attendance total in this announcement, so it does not establish how many people entered the grounds or a worldwide crowd record.
The release also says tickets remain available for the two-match Test series. Readers planning to attend should check NZC’s official ticketing service for current availability; this report records the board’s dated announcement.
