Gaddafi Stadium Lahore Guide for the Tri-Series: Tickets From Rs 200, CNIC Rules, Parking
Gaddafi Stadium tri-series: tickets from Rs 200, online sale 10 October at 3 pm. See prices for 25 to 31 October, the CNIC rule, banned items and parking.
Four tri-series ODIs are due at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, on 25, 27, 29 and 31 October 2026, and online tickets go on sale at 3:00 pm on Saturday 10 October at pcb.tcs.com.pk. A General ticket costs Rs 200 to Rs 400 depending on the match, and you need your original CNIC to get in.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has not published a start time or a gate opening time for the Lahore games. This guide sets out what is known about prices, ID, banned items and getting to Ferozepur Road, and it marks what is still open.
Gaddafi Stadium hosts four tri-series matches and a Test
Lahore gets the second half of the ODI tri-series between Pakistan, England and Sri Lanka: Pakistan v England on 25 October, Pakistan v Sri Lanka on 27 October, Sri Lanka v England on 29 October, and the final on 31 October. The second Test follows on 17 to 21 November.
| Date | Match | General ticket |
|---|---|---|
| Sun 25 October | Pakistan v England | Rs 300 |
| Tue 27 October | Pakistan v Sri Lanka | Rs 200 |
| Thu 29 October | Sri Lanka v England | Rs 200 |
| Sat 31 October | Final, top two sides | Rs 400 |
The tri-series fixture list shows all seven games. Pakistan play two of their four league matches in Lahore. The final is a Saturday, which suits families.
Gaddafi Stadium ticket prices run from Rs 200 to Rs 22,000
PCB's price chart for the tri-series lists eight Lahore enclosures. General is the cheapest. The Far End Box or Seat is the dearest, at Rs 10,000 for the two middle league games, Rs 20,000 for Pakistan v England and Rs 22,000 for the final.
| Enclosure | 25 Oct | 27 and 29 Oct | 31 Oct final |
|---|---|---|---|
| General | Rs 300 | Rs 200 | Rs 400 |
| First Class | Rs 500 | Rs 300 | Rs 600 |
| Premium | Rs 600 | Rs 400 | Rs 800 |
| VIP | Rs 800 | Rs 500 | Rs 1,000 |
| VIP Farend | Rs 1,500 | Rs 800 | Rs 1,500 |
| VIP New Pavilion | Rs 2,000 | Rs 1,200 | Rs 2,000 |
| VIP Gallery | Rs 2,500 | Rs 1,500 | Rs 2,500 |
| Far End Box or Seat | Rs 20,000 | Rs 10,000 | Rs 22,000 |
A family of four in the General stand pays Rs 800 on 27 October and Rs 1,600 for the final. That is our arithmetic from the chart. The full PCB ticket price list also covers Rawalpindi and the Tests.
Online sale opens on 10 October and counters on 14 October
The PCB says online tickets for the tri-series open at 3:00 pm on Saturday 10 October at pcb.tcs.com.pk. Physical tickets follow at 3:00 pm on Wednesday 14 October at TCS Express Centres. The board has not named the Lahore centres.
The ticket site capped purchases at five tickets per match for each CNIC, passport or mobile number when our desk read it for the T20Is on 6 October. Assume the same cap applies in Lahore until you see otherwise.
- Type pcb.tcs.com.pk into your browser yourself. Do not use a link from a message.
- Pick the match, the enclosure and the number of seats, and check the price against the table above.
- Enter the CNIC or passport number of each person who will sit in a seat.
- Pay with the options on the site and save the confirmation email and e-ticket.
- If the site is slow, wait and retry. Do not buy from a reseller.
Bring your original CNIC, not a copy
The ticket site's rules for the Rawalpindi T20Is require the original CNIC or passport you gave at purchase, one card for each seat, and no coloured copies. The PCB has not published separate rules for Lahore, so plan to follow the same ones.
Children under 18 can enter with a birth certificate, with the head of the family's CNIC entered at purchase. Every child over four needs their own ticket. Tickets cannot be transferred, so a friend cannot take your seat.
Our Rawalpindi stadium guide lists the same terms in full. We read those on the ticket site on 6 October, and we have not seen a separate Lahore page.
Leave lighters, food, bottles and vuvuzelas at home
The ticket terms ban firearms, toy guns, firecrackers, cigarettes, matchboxes, lighters, knives, vuvuzelas, food, drinks and bottles. Only the flags of the playing teams are allowed. Banners with racial, religious or obscene messages are forbidden.
| Not allowed | What to do |
|---|---|
| Lighters, matchboxes, cigarettes | Leave them in the car or at home |
| Food, drinks, bottles, cans | Eat and drink before you queue |
| Knives and sharp items | Leave every blade at home |
| Vuvuzelas | Named in the terms, so do not bring one |
| Flags of other nations | Only the flags of the two teams playing are allowed |
The terms do not set a bag size, so a small bag clears the search faster. Reports of earlier Lahore matches say fans passed three layers of security, so give yourself time.
Parking and traffic on Ferozepur Road
The PCB and Lahore police have not published a 2026 traffic plan. Reports of earlier matches describe four parking stands for fans, a ban on vehicles with LPG or gas cylinders in the stadium parking, and park-and-walk lots at Government College Gulberg, Liberty and nearby sites.
Those are past arrangements, not this year's. Use them as a guide to what may happen, not as instructions. Watch for a traffic notice in the days before 25 October.
A practical option is to avoid the car. The Orange Line timings and fare are published, and a train drop-off plus a short walk can beat a queue of cars on match night. Check the nearest station and the last train time before you go.
Refunds follow the toss
The ticket terms say a match cancelled before the toss earns a full refund of face value. A match abandoned after the toss, or hit by weather after play starts, earns no refund. Third-party tickets are not refunded by the PCB.
Lahore in late October can be hazy and sometimes wet. Check the forecast on the morning of the match. If a match is rescheduled, the amount of any refund is decided by the PCB.

How we verified this
What we checked, where we read it, and what we could not confirm.
Last checked on 8 October 2026. The sale dates, the Lahore ticket prices and the Test price chart are read from the PCB press release of 1 October 2026 and its charts, as checked by our desk on 2 October. The entry rules, banned items, purchase cap and refund terms come from the ticket site pcb.tcs.com.pk, as read by our desk on 6 October for the Rawalpindi T20Is. We could not reopen the PCB website or the ticket site on 8 October because both showed a security check. The parking and security details are reported from earlier Lahore matches. Start times, gate times, Lahore ticket centres and a 2026 traffic plan are not published. Confirm everything at pcb.tcs.com.pk before you pay.
