Therefore fans around the world (not only from India & Pakistan) are eagerly waiting to witness the epic battle between the two arch-rivals. Notably, India vs Pakistan WC 2023 match was slated to take place on October 15, however, due to the Navratri celebration in the state of Gujarat, the epic encounter's date was shifted a day before. With the build-up around India vs Pakistan is so high, airfares to Ahmedabad and hotel room have spiked exponentially.

As per a report, the prices of hotel rooms have gone up by 15 times. So, a room that was costing Rs 4000, will now charge Rs 60,000 and there is still no guarantee you will get it. ANother reports suggest that despite there is still a major time left for the India-Pakistan World Cup 2023 clash, the advance booking in premium hotels in Ahmedabad is almost complete. The report suggested that the per-night tariff in a 3 and 5-star hotel has gone up to INR 20,000 to 2.5 lakh. Similarly, the presidential suites are being booked at a cost of INR 1 lakh to 2.5 lakh per night. Interestingly, the BCCI is yet to open the ticket sale of India vs Pakistan match.
