New Delhi: Fans were incredibly excited about the highly anticipated T20 World Cup 2026 match between India and Pakistan. As soon as tickets for this epic clash went on sale, the website of the online ticketing platform BookMyShow suddenly crashed. As soon as the second phase of ticket sales began on Wednesday, millions of cricket fans simultaneously visited the website to book tickets, putting a heavy strain on the system and causing the site to stop working within a short time.
This high-voltage match between India and Pakistan is scheduled to be played in Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka. Cricket fans in both countries, as well as around the world, are excited about this match. As soon as tickets were made available, a large number of people tried to purchase them simultaneously. As a result, many users had trouble logging in to the website, the page took a long time to load, and in many cases, payments were even stuck.
The ticketing platform’s servers were overloaded due to the influx of millions of requests. Many users shared their problems on social media and posted screenshots. Some reported facing long waiting queues, while others reported having their money deducted from their accounts but their tickets were not confirmed. This led to outrage among fans.
According to the report, the sudden influx of login and transaction requests created excessive pressure on the system, causing the website to temporarily crash. The company later clarified the issue on social media platforms and assured users that the technical issues would be resolved soon.
The match will be played in Colombo on February 15th, and the stadium is expected to be fully packed. Cricket fans are now waiting for the ticketing platform to quickly fix the technical issues and resume ticket sales, so that those who want to witness this historic match in person can fulfill their dreams.
