Tickets On Sale for Summer Cricket | Ashes & Golden Ticket

GENERAL PUBLIC TICKETS RELEASED FOR 2025/26 INTERNATIONAL SUMMER OF CRICKET

Cricket Australia has now opened General Public ticket sales for the 2025/26 international summer of cricket, marking a crucial moment for fans eager to secure seats for marquee events. In addition to multi-format clashes featuring England, India, and South Africa, this release includes all days of the prestigious NRMA Insurance Men’s Ashes Tests and the sold‑out Men’s ODI against India at the SCG.

An unprecedented demand for cricket tickets

Even before this release, CA reports that 387,000 tickets were sold during the pre‑sale phase — the highest ever recorded for a priority sale. On a single day, over 220,000 tickets were snapped up, shattering the previous record of around 111,741 set in 2017‑18. Cricket Australia CEO Todd Greenberg said the response was “as big as Taylor Swift” and reflects growing excitement about the upcoming summer.

General Public sales on June 13 follow a fiercely competitive presale window where fans queued for hours online, facing occasional technical glitches due to overwhelming demand and bot‑protection systems on Ticketek. Despite some frustrations, CA remains confident that the public sale will exceed expectations.

What’s on offer?

Included in today’s allocation:

• All five days of the NRMA Insurance Men’s Ashes Series (Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney)

• Additional seats for the now sold‑out Men’s ODI vs India at SCG

• Matches in T20 kits against India and South Africa (Men’s)

• Key games in the Women’s series vs India

With over 200,000 Ashes tickets still available, fans have ample opportunity to witness cricketing history live.

Golden Ticket giveaway adds VIP flair

Adding to the excitement, Cricket Australia has reinstated the popular Golden Ticket promotion. Fans who purchase tickets for either the Men’s Ashes Tests or the Women’s Test vs India between now and June 30, 2025 will be entered into a draw to win one of six exclusive match‑day experiences.

Winners and a guest receive:

• Boundary walk and behind‑the‑scenes stadium tour

• Meet‑and‑greet with an Australian player

• Hospitality ticket upgrade

• Autographed bat from the national squad

Fans who already purchased in the presale were automatically entered into the draw, making the Golden Ticket a potential surprise bonus.

CEO urges fans to act promptly

Todd Greenberg commented:

“The enormous response to pre‑sale shows the excitement about the season ahead. With General Public tickets on sale today, more fans can be part of the action… We encourage fans to snap up their tickets and experience it themselves.”

This summer promises drama, from Ashes battles to high‑octane white ball clashes and the growing women’s game — live atmospheres are best witnessed in person.
