PCB tickets are sold online at pcb.tcs.com.pk, the Pakistan Cricket Board's official ticketing site run by TCS, and as printed tickets at TCS Express Centres across the country. This season's home matches start from Rs 200. Below: how to book, what each enclosure costs for the current home series, and what to carry on match day. Prices and dates are from the PCB's announcement of 1 October 2026, as reported by ARY News and Geo Super.

How to buy PCB tickets online, step by step

  1. Wait for the sale time. The PCB announces a date and time (usually 3pm) for each series. Online sales open first; TCS counters follow two to four days later.
  2. Open pcb.tcs.com.pk on your phone or computer. Use the address exactly as written; do not follow links from WhatsApp forwards or Facebook ads.
  3. Choose the match, then the enclosure. The cheaper public enclosures sell out first for Pakistan matches, so decide on a second choice before you start.
  4. Enter the spectator's details as the form asks. Recent PCB sales have asked for a CNIC number for each ticket, so have the CNIC of everyone you are booking for at hand.
  5. Pay with a debit or credit card or the payment options shown at checkout, and wait for the confirmation screen before closing the page.
  6. Save the confirmation (screenshot and email). It tells you whether you get an e-ticket or need to collect a printed one.
  7. Carry your original CNIC to the ground in case the name on the ticket is checked at the gate.

Buying at a TCS Express Centre

If you prefer cash, go to a TCS Express Centre once counter sales open. Take your original CNIC; staff issue a printed ticket on the spot. Counter stock is the same pool as online, so a sold-out enclosure online is sold out at the counter too.

Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Tests, November 2026

A flat Rs 200 for the General, First Class, Premium and VIP enclosures and Rs 5,000 to Rs 8,000 for boxes, ARY reported. The Tests are in Rawalpindi (9 to 13 November) and Lahore (17 to 21 November). The PCB had not announced the sale date when we last checked; it goes on our Pakistan vs Sri Lanka tickets page the day it does.

On match day

  • Arrive early. Security checks at Pindi and Gaddafi take time; for a 6pm start, gates and traffic diversions begin mid-afternoon.
  • Carry: your ticket or confirmation, original CNIC, and cash for food. Items allowed through the gate are set by stadium security; check the instructions on your ticket or confirmation before you leave home.
  • Rawalpindi: the stadium is on Murree Road near Liaquat Bagh. On match days the Metrobus between Saddar and Pak Secretariat stops while teams move (closures).
  • Lahore: Gaddafi Stadium is off Ferozepur Road; watch Lahore traffic police's updates for road closures around the stadium.
  • Driving in from another city? Work out the petrol with the fuel cost calculator at today's petrol price.

Refunds and washed-out matches

The PCB publishes its refund and rain policy in the terms on the ticketing site for each series; we could not verify this season's wording, so read the terms on pcb.tcs.com.pk before you pay and keep your confirmation.

Common mistakes

  • Buying from resellers on social media. Tickets carry the buyer's details, and fakes and resold tickets are the usual scam around big series. Buy only at pcb.tcs.com.pk or TCS.
  • Mismatched CNIC. If the gate checks names, a ticket in someone else's name can be refused. Book in the name of the person who will attend.
  • Leaving it to match day. Popular enclosures for Pakistan matches can sell out days before.
  • Forgetting children. Check whether children need their own ticket for the enclosure you choose; this is set per series.

Watching instead

Every home match this season is on PTV Sports, with streaming on Tapmad, Tamasha and the PCB Live app, as listed on our Pakistan vs Sri Lanka series page. Live scores are in our match centre.
