Anyone been successful in the ballot for Ashes tickets?

 

I got an email to say I hadn't been.

 

How much are ticket prices usually for these games?

£90 days 1-3 at Headingley. London ones will be above a ton I’m sure. 
 

That’s in the “cheap” seats at Headingley too.

Horrible news for Topley. All of those stress fractures and setbacks, he finally forces his way into the XI and rolls his ankle. How unlucky can you actually get.

 

Big loss for us too. As his Dad pointed out on Twitter, an exceptional bowler in the powerplay, middle overs and at the death.

Not had email yet.

 

Usually £80ish minimum at a London ground. 

 

Approx £50 minimum elsewhere?

Col Ackermann just got his second duck in a row for Netherlands. Looks like they’re heading out despite winning their first two games.

Two sides go through each group, so if they lose, it would still need Namibia to win (although I imagine they will) think net run rate is against the Netherlands as well.

Looks set to be Netherlands and Sri Lanka progressing...

Aussies about to lose the opening game against New Zealand. Lovely!

Optus is just MCG lite isn’t it. Looks absolutely massive.

That crowd for India v Pakistan

I'm as nervous as I am for a Leicester game. Shivers down my spine hearing the anthem. 

Hope the players are up for it! 

[StanSP]

Two early wickets and lots of pressure on Pakistan!

 

Looks like an amazing atmosphere!

[HybridFox]

Feels weird this early start haha

[StanSP]

Been a great game so far.

Managed to get into the second buying window for Headingley. Some are saying the prices could be barking this year.

Just what we need in Leicester after recent weeks. India v Pakistan in a World Cup on Diwali weekend 🙈

Yeah managed to get some for day 2 at Edgbaston. Ours were £112.50 but you’re looking at a minimum £85….

Bonkers mate.

When I saw the prices for next Summer, I shied away and plumped for England Womens international T20 tickets instead.

 

I shelled out earlier this year for tickets at Lords - £140 each, on the basis I had never been to Lords - but the game's gone absolutely nuts, charging those prices.

Was successful in applying for Ashes tickets at Edgbaston, then saw the prices.... F*** off

It’s crazy indeed. 
 

An elite sporting event for me, so don’t mind paying it.

Yeah one of those marquee days ain’t it. I’ll still buy if I get the chance.

Be some win for India if they can get these from where they have been.
