T20 Ticketing

[Starfish]

Thanks for post

We have introduce this new reserved seating policy following strong feedback from members and supporters. With this new approach there is no need to arrive hours in advance to secure a seat. With one game starting at 5.30pm this removes the need for many to take time / much time off work.

We had in recent years a scenario of several hundred supporters battling for seats, creating for a poor experience.

Members can sit within the Hayes Close End, the pavilion benches or opt to apply for the Eagles Grass area for the £11 rate.

There are no more seats in the Hayes Close End. To date we have received encouraging feedback from ticket buyers and sales are very strong, the second highest in the country to date.

Thanks again for your time, Danny Macklin, Commercial Director

can you clarify the question regarding kids junior prices pls?

also if you want an unreserved seat surely you would still have to get there early to get a decent seat?

Thanks for post,

A Junior Member pays £11 for a ticket or £13 for a reserved seat. Please see price grid on https://www.essexcricket.org.uk/tickets/#t20

If this does not make sense please shout.

If Members opt for an unreserved seat yes they will need to arrive early. thanks

thanks, it was only the lady in the office gave me the "t20 blast priority booking form" which is on the back of the 2014 member application pack and there is no mention of junior members on it. Just double checked and there is no £13 option so may cause a few issues

still dont know why Essex need to charge for reserved seating (apart from a big money making exercise). When you buy tickets for any other cricket or football match, theatre tickets etc , you pay for the ticket and get a seat allocated!

£25 at \lords for s double header on Saturday and £5 for juniors - that's good value. My lad and I have 2 seats in the Grandstand for £30. As Essex members for reserved seats we'd pay more than that for 1 game......

It's good for us as I lived in Sussex for several year and my lad was born in Hastings so although Essex diehards we like Susses as a second team

£25 for adult and £5 for a child is good value for 2 games! I just tried to call to get tickets for this Friday as a member and would still cost me £29 adult & £15 adult for the one game at Essex!
