India is making its six-year return to New Zealand for a cricket tour, generating massive excitement among fans. New Zealand Cricket confirmed that over 50,000 tickets have already been sold for the upcoming matches – five T20Is, five ODIs, and two Tests. The pre-sale for Cricket Nation, Sky, and ANZ customers opened two weeks earlier, followed by a general public sale which began on Monday.
The second T20I in Christchurch has already seen 75% of tickets sold, indicating strong demand. The sixth tier of seating at Eden Park was opened for the first time in years to accommodate the high interest, with the fourth T20I scheduled for October 30. The strong response reflects anticipation, especially after the teams met in the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup final.
NZC Head of Marketing Tim Ellis expressed excitement over the growing demand and the potential events planned to enhance fan experiences during the tour. The India cricket tour begins New Zealand's international home summer, preceding a visit from the Bangladesh women's team in December.
