Vaughan slams 43% Ashes ticket price rise at Edgbaston

bbc.com

Michael Vaughan has criticised a 43% ticket price increase for next year's men's Ashes Test at Edgbaston, calling it "really poor". The Hollies Stand tickets will cost £165, up from £115 in 2023. The cheapest adult tickets for the first three days are £115, with members paying £92, plus a £2.50 booking fee. The 2023 series sold out daily with 545,000 total attendance, though next week's England-Pakistan Test at the reduced-capacity venue has not sold out. The 2027 Ashes ballot opened Wednesday with higher prices at Lord's (£190) and the Oval (£185). England begin the series at Trent Bridge on 18 June, with the Edgbaston Test starting 8 July.
