Airfares and hotel rates have skyrocketed in the lead up to the highly anticipated encounter between India and Pakistan in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup.

Even inside India, domestic travel is expensive due to the high cost of airline tickets. In anticipation of the eagerly anticipated India vs. Pakistan encounter slated for October, airfares from Delhi and Mumbai to Ahmedabad have crossed INR20,000.

The much anticipated game has led to an increase in airfare costs to the host city. Significant price increases are seen, notably on October 14, the day before the match, for flights between Delhi and Ahmedabad and Mumbai and Ahmedabad.

Currently, a direct flight costs between INR15,000 and INR22,000 from Delhi or Mumbai to Ahmedabad.

Fans are dismayed as they consider cancelling plans to attend the game due to exorbitant airline expenses because the price surge is significantly harsher for people flying to India from other nations.

In the meantime, hotel room rent has gone up to INR 50,000.

The CEO and co-founder of EaseMyTrip, Nishant Pitti, discussed the long-standing appeal of the cricket match between India and Pakistan.

The cost of a hotel room for one night has increased by 5X ever since the official announcement. A night in a five-star hotel might cost up to 50,000 yen. Additionally, airfare is also skyrocketing, according to Pitti.

Even when purchased three months before to the game, he said, airfares are six times more expensive.

"An economy class ticket from Delhi to Ahmedabad would cost about $3,000 in August and September. However, the identical ticket would cost 20,000 the day before the game, according to Pitti.

He said that there has never been a greater demand for both searches and tickets on his website. The majority of fans who are excited to attend the game have already started purchasing tickets in advance.

Aloke Bajpai, the co-founder and group chief executive officer of ixigo, observed a rise in travel inquiries to all host cities.

"We have noticed a sharp increase in travel-related search searches across all host cities... According on demand and supply, the fares "may increase close to the match dates," he noted.

The managing director of Southern Travels, Krishna Mohan, claims that there will be a major increase in the price of airline tickets in the coming months.

By the end of September, prices will top... A significant component, according to Mohan, is the much anticipated cricket match between India and Pakistan.

Fans, on the other side, have voiced their displeasure with

On the other hand, despite the ICC ODI World Cup schedule being issued more than two weeks ago after ICC kept mute on ticket price and reservations, fans have expressed their anger over the absence of information on ticket sales on the ICC's website, according to Inside Sport.

Hotels in India are already completely booked for the World Cup, despite the lack of certainty on ticket information. With the anticipation of significant demand, inquiries and reservations have been made for matches in cities such as Pune, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Kolkata.

"We already have reservations at our Ahmedabad hotel for the India-Pakistan match dates. Bookings and inquiries have already begun for our hotels in Kolkata, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Pune. On match dates, it is anticipated that the majority of hotels in these locations would be completely booked, a general manager of sales at a hotel and resort firm told an Indian media site.

On October 15 at Ahmedabad, a game between Pakistan and India is scheduled.
