Tickets for the India vs. West Indies 2nd T20I match in Ranchi on Friday, October 9, 2026 have largely been sold out online and through stadium counters following massive demand.

As a result, ticket scalping and black marketing are actively occurring just outside the JSCA International Stadium complex following the massive rush for the India vs. West Indies 2nd T20I match.

Because the offline ticket sales ran strictly on October 5 and 6, 2026, scalpers have taken full advantage of the limited box office windows.

Tickets are being illegally flipped at more than double their official face values. For instance, lower-tier tickets originally priced at ₹2,000 are being sold illegally on the street for ₹4,000, while ₹2,500 tickets are fetching up to ₹5,000.

Disgruntled fans waiting in lines reported that local touts hired daily-wage workers, women, and children to queue up early in the morning just to hoard the maximum limit of 2 tickets per person for immediate black-market resale.

However, the Jharkhand State Cricket Association (JSCA) has repeatedly issued alerts warning fans against buying from random street sellers or unofficial social media profiles.

Many black-market tickets turn out to be photostat duplicates or photocopies that will fail the barcode scanners at the turnstiles, leaving buyers scammed out of their money.
