The Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 is just around the corner, with the ICC releasing ticket prices for the multi-team tournament. While the Indian government’s decision to increase goods and services tax (GST) on IPL tickets (from 28% to 40%) made it costlier for fans to watch a live game from next season onwards, the ICC did the opposite regarding women's cricket, ensuring the splurge of fans into the stadiums for the grandest event this year by keeping the ticket fare as low as INR 100 (USD 1.14). Such low prices have made this event the most affordable one in ICC history.&nbsp;Meanwhile, to put these prices in context, the previous edition (in 2022 in New Zealand) cost NZD 7 for kids and NZD 17 for adults, which excluded any additional charge. It, however, translates to INR 350 (USD 4.45) for kids and INR 850 (USD 10) for adults, which is eight-and-a-half times the cost of the current WC ticket prices.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/wwe-cricket-world-strongest-man-mark-henry-visits-barbados-royals-in-cpl-2025-watch-1757069134750">WWE x Cricket: World’s strongest man Mark Henry visits Barbados Royals – WATCH</a> &nbsp;Also, the tickets have gone on sale with less than a month to go before co-hosts India and Sri Lanka square off in the tournament opener on September 30 in Guwahati. &nbsp;The 13th edition of the Women’s ODI World Cup will see eight teams fighting for the coveted crown, with Pakistan, Australia, New Zealand, Bangladesh, England, South Africa and the two above-mentioned co-hosts featuring in it.&nbsp; &nbsp;The apex body, however, also increased the prize money for the forthcoming edition, setting aside USD 13.88 million, which is nearly four times the prize money of the previous edition (USD 3.5 million).<h3>Here is the Indian Women’s Team ODI World Cup squad –</h3>Harmanpreet Kaur (captain), Smriti Mandhana (vice-captain), Pratika Rawal, Harleen Deol, Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh, Uma Chetry, Renuka Singh Thakur, Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana, Sree Charani, Radha Yadav, Amanjot Kaur, Arundhati Reddy, Kranti Gaud.

Unrest over ticket prices clouds Premier League’s record £6.3bn revenue, report says

The combined revenue of Premier League clubs rose to a record £6.3 billion ($8.5 billion, 7.5 billion euros) in the 2023/24 season, but fan unrest and worsening competitive balance are cause for concern, according to financial experts Deloitte. The rise in income for England's 20 top-flight clubs was fuelled by commercial income surpassing £2 billion for the first time and a rise in matchday revenue beyond £900 million. English clubs continue to enjoy a huge financial advantage over their European rivals. Also read | Tuchel wants Bellingham's 'intimidating fire to be directed at opponents and not teammates' after Senegal loss Spain's La Liga, the second-highest revenue-generating league, earned just over half that amount at 3.8 billion euros, almost 50 per cent of which came from Real Madrid and Barcelona. However, fan protests have become a common sight at Premier League stadiums over rising ticket prices and the squeezing out of local supporters to make way for more tourists willing to spend more for a special matchday experience. "There can be no doubt that the system in English football is under strain," said Tim Bridge, the lead partner in the Deloitte Sports Business Group. "Repeated reports of fan unrest at ticket prices and accessibility demonstrate the challenge in the modern era of balancing commercial growth with the historic essence of a football club's role and position in society: as a community asset." There is also uncertainty over the implications of an incoming independent regulator for England's top five leagues. And for the past two seasons, all three promoted clubs from the Championship have been immediately relegated back to the second tier. "The financial implications of the 'yo-yo effect' on clubs, their spending, and overall competitiveness are major factors to address in order to continue attracting high levels of investment across the system," added Bridge in Deloitte's Annual Review of Football Finance. Total revenue of European clubs rose by eight per cent in the 2023/24 campaign to 38 billion euros, boosted by increased commercial revenue and stadium developments. The women's game also continues to grow commercially, particularly in England's Women's Super League (WSL). Collective revenues in the WSL rose 34 per cent to £65 million in 2023/24 and are projected to reach £100 million in the upcoming season.

Tennis is among the most watched yet richest sports worldwide. With countless superstars having graced this over a century-old individual sport, and several continue to do so, the fans today are ready to splurge big bucks to watch their favourites play on a court. On Sunday (Jul&nbsp;14), two superstars – Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz will battle it out for the men’s Wimbledon title, with reports suggesting the ticket prices for the marquee clash being a whopping $10,000 (INR 8.3 lakh) and beyond.

Former IPL commissioner Lalit Modi has slammed the International Cricket Council (ICC) for prioritising profits over promotion and passion for the game in the USA with sky-rocketing ticket prices for the marquee clash between India and Pakistan on June 9 in New York.

Former IPL commissioner Lalit Modi has slammed the International Cricket Council (ICC) for prioritising profits over promotion and passion for the game in the USA with sky-rocketing ticket prices for the marquee clash between India and Pakistan on June 9 in New York. Modi took to social media to bash the ICC for $20,000 (approx 1,665,138 rupees) ticket prices in the Diamond Club section at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium. On X, Modi wrote, “Shocked to learn that ICC is selling tickets for Diamond Club at $20000 per seat for the #indvspak WC game. The WC in the US is for game expansion & fan engagement, not a means to make profits on gate collections. $2750 for a ticket It’s just #notcricket #intlcouncilofcrooks.” Shocked to learn that @ICC is selling tickets for Diamond Club at $20000 per seat for the #indvspak WC game.

Besides, a USA Today report also stated that the resale prices for these tickets have surged.

India and Pakistan are drawn in Group A alongside the USA, Canada and Ireland. The Men in Blue begins their campaign against Ireland on June 5 before taking on the arch-rivals on Sunday (June 9). India-Pakistan craze Of all the ties at the top level, India vs Pakistan is considered the mother of all clashes. The two Asian giants are the former T20 World Cup winners, with India winning the maiden edition in 2007 and Pakistan winning it next time in 2009 in England. India and Pakistan always walk into any ICC tournaments as favourites. Although India held the upper hand (in the head-to-head tie) with five wins in as many contested matches till the 2016 edition at home, they suffered a shocking ten-wicket defeat at the hands of Pakistan in 2021 in the UAE. The Men in Blue won the famous 2022 clash at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), where Virat Kohli played an iconic knock of 82* in a run chase. However, with this being the highlight clash of every ICC event, all eyeballs will be on this high-octane clash in Group A.

An elderly couple, flying from London's Stansted Airport to Bergerac, France, on Friday (August 12), found themselves charged a staggering £110 (approximately $140) by Ryanair for the seemingly routine task of printing their outbound flight boarding passes.

The incident has garnered attention and concern, shedding light on the complexities older passengers face in navigating the intricacies of budget airlines.

<h2>Mistaken check-in</h2>

As recounted by the couple to The Telegraph, their predicament arose from a simple mistake. The couple, aged 80 and 79, unintentionally checked in for their return flight instead of the outbound one. They realised their error upon reaching the airport.

They explained that the airline's website was confusing, with various prompts for additional services, contributing to the&nbsp;error.&nbsp;"The website was very confusing, they're trying to get you to add on this and that. I didn't realize I was checking in for the coming-home flight," the couple told the Telegraph.

<h2>Airport check-in dilemma</h2>

Faced with the absence of their boarding passes, the couple was compelled to resort to airport check-in. The process came with an exorbitant cost. "At the airport, I tried to get the boarding card, and it said 'check-in is closed' and I needed to go to the desk," the couple&nbsp;recounted.

"They said that's £55 per person. I thought it was absolutely disgusting, but I had no option so paid up. It was very stressful," they added.

The couple was deemed to have "failed to check-in online before arriving at Stansted airport (11 Aug) despite receiving an email reminder (10 Aug) to check-in online."

The couple's daughter took to social media, expressing her outrage and detailing the incident on the platform X (formerly known as Twitter).

While many were expecting Messi to return to Barcelona, the Argentine surprised one and all with his move to the US.

Ahead of Messi's US debut, fans are eagerly awaiting to see him in Inter Miami colours. A day after the 36-year-old's&nbsp;welcome party on Sunday (July 16) in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, it has been revealed that ticket prices have hit the roof for Messi's debut game on Friday.&nbsp;Tickets for his likely debut game&nbsp;are selling for as much as $110,000, as per&nbsp;a search on the ticket reselling website Vivid Seats. It is to be noted that it is one of the most expensive ticket prices ever recorded for a Major League Soccer (MLS) team.

Messi's official unveiling event, by the David Beckham-owned club, was interrupted by rain and technical issues. However, it didn't deter the fans who flocked in large numbers&nbsp;to welcome the superstar footballer.&nbsp;
