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.

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

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.
