New Delhi, Feb 24 (IANS) The tickets for the semi-finals and final of the T20 World Cup 2026 will go live at 7 pm IST on Tuesday, as announced by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in a release.

Cricket fans can book seats for the first semi-final on March 4, the second semi-final on March 5 and the highly anticipated final on March 8 through the official booking sites.

However, the venue for Semi-final 1 remains subject to a floating arrangement. The match will be held either at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo or at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. While Semi-final 2 is confirmed to take place at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

As per tournament guidelines, if the Pakistan cricket team qualify for the semi-finals, they will play semi-final 1 in Colombo on March 4. If Pakistan fail to qualify but the Sri Lanka team reach the super 4 and are not drawn against India, then the match will be played in Colombo.

If neither condition applies, or if India are drawn against Sri Lanka, semi-final 1 will be staged at Eden Gardens on the same date.

The venue of the final also hinges on Pakistan’s progression. If Pakistan reach the title clash, the final will be played in Colombo. Otherwise, the summit clash will be hosted in Ahmedabad.

The ICC clarified that tickets purchased for a venue that ultimately does not host either semi-final 1 or the final will be refunded in full.

The first phase of ticket sales includes a limited allocation across categories for all three knockout matches, with strong demand expected as the tournament approaches its business end.

India are placed in Group A in the ongoing Super 8s round with West Indies, South Africa and Zimbabwe, while Pakistan is present in Group B with England, New Zealand and the co-hosts Sri Lanka. The top two teams from each group will proceed to the semi-finals, which will be a knockout clash.
