The build-up to the upcoming international summer of cricket continues today with confirmation of ticket pricing and the opening of the Australian Cricket Family (ACF) pre-sale period ahead of public tickets on sale this Monday, July 5.
The 2021-22 international cricket season is set to be one of the biggest ever, with up to 59 days of the world’s best cricket featuring the inaugural Test match between Australia and Afghanistan, the Men’s Vodafone Ashes Series and Commonwealth Bank Women’s Ashes against England, the multi-format Commonwealth Bank Women’s Series versus India and the respective Men’s Dettol ODI and T20I matches against New Zealand and Sri Lanka.
Ticket purchasing information
Eligible ACF members were given exclusive access to an allocated amount of tickets from today via email, with Cricket Australia partners and their customers set for exclusive access from Friday July 2 before all public tickets are released from 2:00pm AEST on Monday, July 5.

All venues will be sold to 100% capacity, except for the Vodafone Boxing Day Test at the MCG which will have an initial capacity of 85%. Tickets will be fully refunded if any venue is required to reduce capacity due to the ongoing pandemic.
Ticket pricing highlights
For the sixth year straight, entry level ticket prices for men’s internationals remain the same.
Adult tickets start at $30 plus a maximum $7.45 transaction fee ($37.45). Transaction fees vary by venue and are split across all tickets bought in one transaction.
Tickets to the women’s game continue to be even more accessible, with all individual tickets under $30, and family tickets starting at $43 plus a maximum $7.45 transaction fee ($50.45).
Nick Hockley, Cricket Australia’s Chief Executive Officer, said:
“The 2021-22 summer of international cricket promises to be one of the biggest ever,” Hockley said.
“The anticipation around both the men’s and women’s Ashes is building, especially as we have witnessed some incredible Test cricket in the UK. The Ashes rivalry is one of the biggest in world sport, and we hope that conditions will allow as many fans as possible to attend.”
“In addition to the Ashes, we’re incredibly excited to host international cricket across 11 venues and seven states and territories, ensuring fans all across the country have the opportunity to see the best players in the world.”
“As we did last year, we’ve maintained our entry level ticket pricing to ensure cricket continues to be affordable for fans.
“We continue to work closely with venues and governments across Australia to ensure that events are held safely and greatly appreciate their support.
“In the event that capacities are reduced due to government restrictions associated with the pandemic, we of course guarantee fans full refunds.”
