Despite a lackluster response from fans to this season’s game against Sri Lanka, ticket prices for the Lord’s Test between India and England next summer have been raised. Marylebone Cricket Club, Lord’s owner, has faced criticism for the ticket costs for this summer’s Test between England and Sri Lanka. The five-match Test series between India and England began on June 20, with the third game slated for July 10 at Lord’s. Former England cricketer David Lloyd has recently lashed out at the higher ticket prices for the India vs England Lord’s Test. The least expensive seats for India’s match in the Lord’s Test cost ninety pounds apiece and have limited views. Fans would have to pay anywhere from 120 to 175 pounds for unrestricted access, according tonews reports.
For the Test match against Sri Lanka last month, tickets with restricted views cost anywhere from 115 to 140 pounds. Just 9,000 fans attended the match on day four, which was only one-third of the stadium’s capacity.
In his Daily Mail column, Lloyd said, “It’s unbelievable that tickets for the third Test between England and India next July will cost 175 pounds, even though Lord’s will undoubtedly remain full.”
“Alert signs are blinking. Test cricket is more vulnerable than ever to becoming into an exclusive showcase and reducing the range of people who would even think about going to an event.
Who determines the price in reality? Identify names. Says who: I believe X should be in charge? Finally, someone says, “Aye, seems about right.” I’m curious to know the response. I’m on a whole other level from these individuals.”I represent the average fan. Therefore, I find it completely absurd that the face value cost of attending a single day of a Lord’s Test.”Go on social media and look for evidence of people who share my thoughts. Many people claim they cannot afford to travel.
“These are difficult times right now. Since I’m retired, 120–175 pounds is not acceptable to me. It isn’t in line with my priorities. A rough estimate of one hundred pounds for the best seats in the house seems appropriate to me. and 50–60 pounds for further areas of the renowned 31,000-seat stadium,” he said in closing.
