10 Apr 2024

If you are a cricket lover you will be supporting a team and may be willing to attend more than one match, in case you are planning to attend the matches of the ICC T20 World Cup this year, 2024. Some of you may be even interested in watching the final and if your team reaches the finals, a number of you will be after last-minute flights. The matches will be held in different cities in the Caribbean and USA, with the final in Barbados. In cricket the cricket playing region in Caribbean is often referred to as West Indies. The cities holding these matches in the USA will be in New York and Florida, among others. T20 games didn't exist a couple of decades ago but are as popular as other limited-over matches with cricket lovers. These last a few hours, so you don't have to spend a long time at the stadium, which means that more people can allocate time to watch these from their busy schedules.

If you live in the USA and follow the game enthusiastically, you can catch domestic flights to enjoy the games being held within the country. If you live in Canada or have plans to see games in the Caribbean, you will need a visa, unless you are a US or Canadian citizen, as these set of people don't need visas to travel to most neighboring countries for short trips through International flights. This year the tournament will last the entire month of June, so you can pick the games that you wish to see live. As for the bookings buy your flight tickets as soon as you buy match tickets. The reason for this is simple, if you aren't able to procure either one of them, your plans will go to waste. Apart from these, you will need suitable accommodation too.

Saving on flights can be the game-changer

Altogether, this will be a costly affair, and there are some ways you can lessen your financial burden. Though the match ticket prices are fixed, you should try to get them early as these get booked as quickly as they are announced. As for the air tickets, these will be what will cost you a lot, so getting cheap flights will mean that you will have more to spend on your other travel arrangements. If you book your tickets early, you will find that you will be able to get these for less, as more of these will be available. You should also keep your eyes and ears open for any offers that may come your way for the month of June. If you are traveling in a group, you can also hope for some discounts for group travel.

Encouraging supporters

The tournament organizers have chosen stadiums that are within easy reach of international airports. If you are not able to find direct flights from your city, you can choose those with stopovers or get to the major airports that offer connecting flights. You should also be flexible with your choice of airport so you can get flight tickets easily, if you are not able to get to the major airport close to the stadium, try getting to one close to the city where the match is being organized. 

So, would you like to watch the match live?

Followers of cricket can be divided into two categories, those who prefer to watch it live on their Television and others who prefer to watch it live at the stadiums. At home, you will have your privacy and there won't be many people around to see your reactions. Nowadays the matches in different tournaments are broadcast by different channels, so you will need to make sure that you have subscribed to the right channel. Also, on TV you will be watching advertisements after every over. As for watching the game at the stadiums, you will need to make sure that you have the tickets and that you get there on time. The stadiums and the seating arrangements don't just vary from one country to another, but every cricket stadium is different, so you need to make sure that you will be able to get a seat that will offer you good views of the whole game.

The different views

Also, if you are watching the game at home, you will hear the crowd roar after every boundary or wicket, while you will be part of the roaring crowd once you are at the stadium. Crowd behavior too varies from one part of the world to another. While in the UK most people watching the game stay quiet mostly, in India or the games in which India is participating, you will hear a lot of noise. If you are in the stadiums, you can wear an interesting dress or carry an eye-catching banner to catch the attention of the cameraman, some do this so their friends watching the game can see them on live TV. Another way of grabbing their attention is that you catch the ball as it comes towards you, but this will be like winning a lottery ticket.

Make or break

Also, you can keep food and drink stocked up for the game, while in the stadiums you may have some difficulty arranging them. As for the stadiums in the USA and the Caribbean, if you haven't seen games held here before, you will be surprised. While the stadiums in the USA will not have many seats, as the game is not followed very enthusiastically here apart from the Indian diaspora, those in the Caribbean will be much larger, often close to the sea. Apart from not getting the tickets, what else can destroy your plans to watch the match in front of you is the weather. Unlike soccer, this game is not possible when it rains, as the ground and the pitches get too wet and slippery for the cricketers to continue with the game. Most weather forecasts are accurate, so check them out before you proceed with any of your bookings. If this happens unexpectedly, your investments can go to waste unless there is a reserve day for the match.
