Just had a look at Lords for the Sri Lanka test. There’s a few areas for £65 a ticket. Most are £115-125 with a few at £140.I wouldn't like to think what a ticket for a day at an Ashes test would be. Particularly at Lord's or The Oval.
It looks difficult to score freely today. The Windies have been very disciplined too.Still want another 50 here! Brook once he got to 100 he seemed to change mentally wise and was expecting him to get out, Stokes plays like that and just unlucky usually goes for 6!
Oh there goes smith a good ball to be fair
I'm guessing that you wouldn't get a day 1 ticket at Lord's in an Ashes test for that!Just had a look at Lords for the Sri Lanka test. There’s a few areas for £65 a ticket. Most are £115-125 with a few at £140.
Dear do for a family.
Hard to get accurate prices, but one forum was suggesting £170 plus an extra £30 to reserve a specific seat.I'm guessing that you wouldn't get a day 1 ticket at Lord's in an Ashes test for that!
I'm surprised it's that "cheap" (I know; there's cheap, and there's "cheap"!), given London pricing.Hard to get accurate prices, but one forum was suggesting £170 plus an extra £30 to reserve a specific seat.
The Western Terrace at Headingley seems to have been £90.
In a way, but going to all 5 days would still cost a grand!I'm surprised it's that "cheap" (I know; there's cheap, and there's "cheap"!), given London pricing.
And if you have a couple of kids that want to go.....!In a way, but going to all 5 days would still cost a grand!
And the Bollinger…And if you have a couple of kids that want to go.....!
Don't forget the canapés!And the Bollinger…
I wonder how much Bollinger they sell on the Western Terrace, in the land that time forgot, on the Saturday in a test? Or the Hollies stand?And the Bollinger…

I await the input from those (and there's many of them) who were unhappy at the price rise on season cards!So, so sad. It's many years ago, now, but as both a schoolboy, and then a student, I would attend all five days of test matches at places like Lords and Headingley, against the Aussies, the Indians and others. Then I had to have a sandwich and a beer, say, regular cups of tea, etc. Can't remember how much it cost me, but the mere fact I was able to do it tells you how much inflation has made going to test cricket a rich man's game, basically (or somebody for whom cricket is so important that they're prepared to make pretty serious sacrifices elsewhere). Tell you one thing, though — it puts a certain perspective on season card prices for City, doesn't it?
None by me, just lots of John Smiths on the WT in my student days.I wonder how much Bollinger they sell on the Western Terrace, in the land that time forgot, on the Saturday in a test? Or the Hollies stand?
It changed when there were more grounds bidding for tests than tests played in the summer.So, so sad.

The counties then had to auction for the games in sealed bids.
