1st npower Ashes Test Match Tickets

2009-06-23

 

Last tickets released for the 1st npower Ashes Test Match!
Glamorgan Cricket is pleased to confirm that fans will be given one last opportunity to purchase tickets for the 1st npower Ashes Test Match. Tickets will go on general sale this Thursday 25th June at 9am where fans will be able to purchase tickets on the club’s website www.glamorgancricket.com .
Ashes fever has well and truly descended on Cardiff and unsurprisingly, the demand for tickets for the England v Australia re-match has been unprecedented, not least, for the opening encounter in the 5-match Test Series.
On July 8th 2009, the eyes of the sporting world will be on Cardiff. The 1st npower Ashes Test match will be a historic event – the first time a “home” Test match is played outside of England. Demand for tickets for the 1st npower Ashes Test Match has been unprecedented with the Club’s website receiving over 2.5 million hits at the last on-sale date!
The Club’s Commercial and Finance Director, Alan Hamer said;
“The 1st npower Ashes Test Match will be of significant importance, the first time that an Ashes Test Match has been played here in Wales. We were always determined to ensure that we made the game accessible to fans and we are delighted to have been able to place so many tickets on general sale.”
“A fantastic testament to the positive impact of bringing Test cricket to Wales is illustrated in our current ticket sales. Over 60% of ticket sales to date have gone to people living in Wales and the South West. Previously, these fans would have had to travel a considerable distance to their nearest Test Ground. Making Cricket accessible to a new audience will ensure that this match will leave a lasting legacy and in turn encourage and inspire more children to participate in cricket.”
In addition, there are a limited number of hospitality packages remaining and the Club are encouraging all interested parties to contact them to avoid disappointment. Further information on the remaining packages available can be found by calling 029 2041 9324.
