Champions Trophy 2025: PCB announces full ticket refund for rain-cancelled matches

NEW DELHI: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced a full ticket refund policy for the two Champions Trophy matches in Rawalpindi that were abandoned due to rain.
The affected matches were Australia vs South Africa on February 25 and Bangladesh vs Pakistan on February 27, both of which were called off without a single ball being bowled.
In accordance with the PCB's ticket refund policy for the Champions Trophy, ticket holders are eligible for a full refund if the match was abandoned before the toss took place. The PCB has stated that all enclosure tickets will be refunded.
However, ticket holders of hospitality tickets, including boxes and the PCB gallery, will not be eligible for a refund. This decision aligns with the PCB's refund policy for such ticket categories.

Eligible ticket holders can claim their refund at select TCS outlets between March 10 and March 14. To process the refund, ticket holders must present their original, undamaged ticket as proof of purchase and must personally visit the TCS outlet. Refunds cannot be claimed on behalf of someone else.
The PCB's decision to offer full refunds for the abandoned matches is in line with standard practices in the sporting industry, where ticket holders are compensated for events that are unable to take place due to unforeseen circumstances such as inclement weather.
By providing clear guidelines and a specific refund period, the PCB aims to ensure a smooth and transparent process for affected ticket holders to reclaim their expenses.
