Tickets for the Pakistan vs Sri Lanka 2nd Test in Rawalpindi cost Rs 200 a day in the General, First Class, Premium and VIP enclosures. The PCB Gallery costs Rs 800 and the Platinum Box Rs 8,000, per person per day. Tickets are sold at designated TCS Express Centres from Thursday 12 November, 3 pm. The Test runs from Tuesday 17 to Saturday 21 November, with play from 9:30 am PKT, and Tapmad lists it as a free stream.
The match was meant to be at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. The PCB moved it to Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium because of the smog in Lahore. A Lahore ticket is not a Rawalpindi ticket, so buy again for the new venue.
Every enclosure and its price for the 2nd Test
Prices are the same on all five days. Each ticket is for one person on one day, so a fan going on two days needs two tickets.
| Enclosure | Price per day | Five days |
|---|---|---|
| General | Rs 200 | Rs 1,000 |
| First Class | Rs 200 | Rs 1,000 |
| Premium | Rs 200 | Rs 1,000 |
| VIP | Rs 200 | Rs 1,000 |
| PCB Gallery (main building) | Rs 800 | Rs 4,000 |
| Platinum Box | Rs 8,000 | Rs 40,000 |
These are the same prices the board set for the first Test at the same ground. The five-day column is our own sum.
At Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, the Rs 200 stands carry the names of Pakistan players. For the first Test the board listed them as General (Miran Bakhsh and Sohail Tanvir), First Class (Shoaib Akhtar and Yasir Arafat), Premium (Azhar Mahmood and Javed Miandad) and VIP (Imran Khan and Javed Akhtar).
How to buy a ticket at a TCS Express Centre
Tickets are physical and sold over the counter at designated TCS Express Centres. For the first Test, the board listed four sale points around the ground:
- TCS Express Centre, 11 Kashmir Road, Saddar, Rawalpindi.
- Box office at Aviation Ground, Rawal Road, Rawalpindi.
- TCS Express Centre, Plot 394-A, Pothohar Road, near the police station, Sector I-9/3, Islamabad.
- TCS Regional Office near Fazaia Colony, Link Road, Khanna, Rawalpindi.
Call or visit your nearest TCS centre first to make sure it has 2nd Test stock. Then follow these steps:
- Pick the day or days you want, from Tuesday 17 to Saturday 21 November.
- Choose the enclosure. All four public stands cost the same, so pick by where you want to sit.
- Take your original CNIC, and a B-form or birth certificate for any child, in case the counter asks.
- Pay in cash and check that the date, the enclosure and "Rawalpindi" are printed on every ticket.
- On match day, carry the same CNIC and arrive early. Play starts at 9:30 am.
Why the 2nd Test moved from Lahore to Rawalpindi
The board moved the Test because of severe seasonal smog and hazardous air quality in Lahore. The change was announced on Tuesday 10 November, while the first Test was being played. The dates did not change.
That means Rawalpindi hosts both Tests of the series. The first one ended in a draw on 13 November, with Saud Shakeel out for 97 off the last ball. Our first Test result has the full scores. Anyone who bought a Gaddafi Stadium ticket earlier should keep it and ask at the counter where they bought it.

Match timings for all five days
Play is due to start at 9:30 am PKT each day. Tapmad's listing gives the same start for day one.
| Day | Date | Start (PKT) |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | Tuesday 17 November | 9:30 am |
| Day 2 | Wednesday 18 November | 9:30 am |
| Day 3 | Thursday 19 November | 9:30 am |
| Day 4 | Friday 20 November | 9:30 am |
| Day 5 | Saturday 21 November | 9:30 am |
Bad light ended play early on several days of the first Test, so finish times can move. Plan to be in your seat by 9:00 am on day one to see the toss.
