Accounts statement relating to sale of tickets for Eng-Pak series 2005-06

Pakistan Cricket Board has been able to compile accounts relating to sale of tickets for the Pakistan – England Series 2005 which have been authenticated by the Internal Auditor. Statement of accounts is attached.

It would be noted that the total sales amounted to Rs 44,265,050/-. It may also be mentioned that for the three Test matches against England that an average of 70% of the total tickets were given away free of cost to the general public through the designated bank on a first-come, first-serve basis. The experiment helped attract sizeable spectators at the stadium for the Test matches whereas during the much-hyped 2004 Series against India the stands remained deserted at Multan, Lahore and Rawalpindi Tests.
