Tickets for the India vs. Pakistan match at the R. Premadasa Stadium (Feb 15, 2026) vary wildly depending on when you buy them and whether you are looking for "ticket-only" or a package.
Since the match is only two days away, official primary tickets are largely sold out, and prices on the secondary market have surged.
1. Official Ticket Prices (At Launch)
When the ICC first released tickets, they were priced to be very affordable:
General Admission: Starting from LKR 1,500 (approx. Dh 18 / $5).
Standard Stands: Ranged from $20 to $50.
Premium/Grandstand: Ranged from $99 to $250.
2. Current Market Prices (Last Minute)
Because demand is massive, resale platforms and travel sites are currently showing much higher rates:
Secondary Market (e.g., Ticombo): Last-minute seats are being listed between $45 and $150 (Dh 165 to Dh 550) depending on the stand.
Hospitality Packages: Official travel partners (like Global Sports Travel) are offering packages that include hotel stays and match tickets starting from $899 to $1,449 (Dh 3,300 to Dh 5,300).
3. Travel Costs from Dubai
If you are planning to fly out from Dubai today or tomorrow, be prepared for "India-Pak fever" pricing:
Flights: Direct return flights from Dubai to Colombo have spiked to between Dh 1,900 and Dh 2,400.
Hotels: Premium hotels in Colombo (like Taj Samudra or Cinnamon Grand) are reporting rates as high as Dh 4,000+ per night for the match weekend.
Pro Tip: If you're buying from a resale site, ensure they are "Trusted Sellers" with an M-Ticket (Mobile Ticket) option so you can get it instantly on your phone before the match begins.
