Organisers say ticket ballot registrations for the 2027 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup—scheduled in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia—have passed one million applications within the first days of the process. IOL reports the figure surges past one million in just under 72 hours.
News24 similarly says demand tops one million over the opening weekend, with organisers placing the total at more than 1.1 million tickets applied for during the registration period. Both outlets describe the applications as submissions to the ballot, indicating strong early interest across the tournament’s host countries. Differences between the reports mainly relate to timing and the precise total cited, with one figure just over one million and the other stating more than 1.1 million during the opening weekend.
