Anyone else sign up for this today? I've gone for 4 tickets on day 2 of the SL test
-
Gone for two tickets for day two.
Is there a reason why they don't sell tickets like every other ground does?
-
Massive demand.
Plus about 40% of the ground is for members and their guests.
-
How long is the members waiting list now?
Surely they want to have a Bristolian helmet Aficionado as part of it 😀

Will there be? I can't help but look at the Oval test and see getting a ticket for any day is pretty easy, certainly compared to last year for the Ashes...
-
The tickets are expensive this year. I didn't go for the Pakistan tickets as £90 (for some decent seats) to watch Pakistan vs England isnt justifiable in my opinion.
The demand is always there, particularly for the first two or three days of a lords test
-
27 year waiting list...
-
I don't mind paying £90 odd quid for the Ashes but just for a normal test match it's ridiculous.
I've already got 2 tickets for the Friday at Edgbaston - £82 for the pair.
-
Aye, got a pair of tickets for Day 3 (Saturday) at Headingley for the Sri Lanka test at £35 each. Compared to Oval where I've paid £60 for one ODI ticket and £50 for Day 4 against Pakistan, but admittedly that's in the pavilion...
-
Rather listen on the radio than sit with the champagne brigade after selling my house to pay for overpriced tickets
-
Yep, £90 for a day at Lords or £41 a day at Edgbaston, easy decision.
Also, Home of Cricket blah blah aside, didn't really like the atmosphere at Lords, glad I've been but personally wouldn't rush back.
-
To be fair the bank holiday day 5 against New Zealand this year was pretty decent; £20, sit where you like, got a whole days play and an England win to boot

I have a cousin's wedding in August (in Scotland) so for me Edgbaston works a lot better than Lord's but I personally wanted to watch a test match at Lord's solely because it's "Home of Cricket."
I am really confused..
-
Gone for £40 tickets for the Saturday of the SL test, planning on taking my brother who's never been HQ. Not that hopeful.
-
A lords test should be experienced by everyone not the few, symptomatic of where cricket is at the moment in this country.
-
@Cover_Drive
The atmosphere at Edgbaston and the Oval is 10 x better than Lords - if you can only make one test match make it either the Oval or Edgbaston for sure.
-
Wish we had a bigger cricket stadium in this country, high prices are just a result of over demand for tickets. No motivation for the MCC to drop prices when it's sold out every year. Get a drop in pitch at the Olympic stadium and see if we can get 80,000 in for an Ashes test, that'd be something.

If you haven't been I'd suggest a visit purely on it being Lords! I've seen an Ashes test at Durham and an ODI at Edgbaston, both were a better day out imo
-
I've applied (4th year running) purely because it's still the only test ground I haven't seen a test match at. I've been to Lords a few times for tours, tournaments etc but never actually seen England play there!
