ICC World Twenty20 – new
release of tickets
India|May'2009: Organisers of this year’s ICC World Twenty20 in
England have announced a new release of tickets for every match day of the
tournament.
These newly available tournament tickets will give cricket fans and
families the opportunity to enjoy this year’s most exciting and important
Twenty20 tournament.
Staged at four world-class venues across England – Lord’s, The Oval, Trent
Bridge and Taunton – this latest release of tickets comes as the final
countdown to the 5 June event commences.
Some tickets are available for the opening match at Lord’s on 5 June when
home team England takes on the Netherlands, as well as the group stage,
Super Eight, semi-finals and finals, for which all previous ticket
allocations have sold out. Tickets are also available for the women’s
group stage taking place in Taunton, Somerset.
All prices have been tailored to ensure a value day out for fans and
families with nearly all match days featuring two games showcasing four
international teams. This double-header format allows spectators to view
two games for the price of one match day ticket.
Ticket prices range from £1 to £6 in the women’s group stage and £8 to £60
across the men’s group stage. All venues also have a dedicated family
stand for spectators with children where no alcohol is served.
Tournament director Steve Elworthy said: “We saw an unprecedented level of
interest with our previous ticket releases and I urge fans to get in early
when this release of tickets becomes available. This is the last chance to
join the action and take part in what promises to be an exciting ICC World
Twenty20.”
Tickets are also available for the warm-up matches on 1-4 June taking
place at Lord’s, The Oval and Trent Bridge, including the hotly
anticipated re-match between 2007 finalists India and Pakistan at The Oval
on 3 June.
