Are you excited about the clash of the Titans? The much-anticipated India vs Pakistan ODI World Cup 2023 match is just around the corner, and the buzz is electrifying! However, before you pack your bags and head to Ahmedabad, there's something you need to know – the prices of airfares and hotel accommodations have shot up like a rocket.
For once the cost of the game is as thrilling as the action on the field!
Hotel Rates Surge 350%!
Ahmedabad, the vibrant city where the match will take place, is buzzing with anticipation. But amidst the excitement, there's a little hitch – hotel rates have skyrocketed to astonishing heights. You won't believe your eyes when you hear that some hotels are charging up to ₹1 lakh for a single room!
Luxury hotels, known for their comfort and style, usually charge around ₹5,000-8,000. But hold your breath! Prices have spiralled to a jaw-dropping ₹40,000 to ₹1 lakh in some places. Talk about a grand entrance!
Let's take a closer look at some eye-popping examples. The Pride Plaza hotel, which normally offers rooms for ₹4,000 in July, has decided to embrace the tournament fever and hike up their rates to a whopping ₹75,000 in October. Not to be outdone, the renowned Welcome Hotel by ITC Hotels, usually a budget-friendly option at ₹5,699 in July, has transformed into a luxury retreat with a stunning price tag of ₹72,000 on October 15.
A good alternative is staying over in Gandhinagar, the prices are on the higher end yet not as bizarre as the ones in Ahmedabad.
Airfares Take Off to New Heights
The journey to Ahmedabad is going to cost you a pretty penny. As the match draws near, airfare prices have taken flight, especially for flights between Delhi-Ahmedabad and Mumbai-Ahmedabad on October 14, just a day before the epic showdown.
If you thought you could catch a budget-friendly flight, think again. A one-way direct flight from Mumbai to Ahmedabad or Mumbai to Ahmedabad will set you back upwards of INR 22,000 – a jaw-dropping 10 times higher than the usual rates! Even those who planned ahead and booked three months in advance are facing sky-high prices. Economy class tickets that were once a reasonable INR 3,000 in August and September have now ballooned to an astronomical INR 20,000 on the match day.
Brace Yourself for More Surges
Hold on tight because this rollercoaster ride isn't over yet! With the excitement building up and the match day getting closer, airfares are expected to soar even higher in the coming months. So, if you're dreaming of witnessing the ultimate clash, prepare yourself for more hair-raising price hikes.
India vs Pakistan ODI World Cup 2023 match in Ahmedabad is not only going to be a thrilling display of cricketing prowess but also an expensive endeavour. From luxury hotels reaching for the stars with their rates to airfares skyrocketing faster than a six-hit out of the stadium, the excitement is truly palpable.
