Cricket West Indies and T20 USA have selected Secutix to manage the ticket sales for this summer’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.

An estimated half a million fans are set to attend the cricket competition across 55 games, which are scheduled to take place over six Caribbean countries and three cities in the US. In September, the International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed the US venues as Eisenhower Park in Nassau County, New York; Grand Prairie Stadium in Texas (pictured); and Central Broward Park & Broward County Stadium in Lauderhill, Florida.

Meanwhile, Antigua & Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Guyana, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad & Tobago will host games in the Caribbean.

The tournament is also set to be contested by 22 teams, an increase on the 16 that featured at the 2022 edition, which was won by England.

“Selecting Secutix as the official ticketing partner for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 is based on our desire to deliver a fair and transparent ticketing experience,” said Johnny Grave, chief executive of Cricket West Indies.

“The Secutix ticketing platform allows us to price our tickets with no fees and sell them in a lottery format, ensuring fans from all over the world will have equal access and a chance to buy tickets. This allows us to manage the high demand smoothly and fairly across all matches.

“Additionally, Secutix provides a resale platform, allowing us to ensure all tickets purchased directly from our website are valid tickets.”

Michael McDermott, Secutix general manager for the Americas, said: “We are honoured to have been chosen by CWI and T20 USA to manage ticket sales for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.

“Having this tournament take place in three major US stadiums in Florida, New York and Texas reinforces the company’s unparalleled 15 years of experience in the sports event industry and its impressive track record of successfully managing ticket sales for nine out of the top 15 global sports events and further solidifies our status as the industry leader.

“Secutix has consistently demonstrated its capability to handle the complex sales and event day operations of large-scale sporting events.
