Bonus for Saturday ticket holders

8 May 2009

The ICC, ECB and MCC have today agreed that all ticket holders for Saturday of the first npower Test match at Lord’s will not only receive a full refund but also the opportunity to get a 50% discount for one of the two Lord’s warm-up days for the ICC World Twenty20 event in June.

After discussions, following England’s victory against the West Indies, it was agreed that the spectators who were scheduled to come to Lord’s for the fourth day of the npower Test match should receive a chance to be part of the World Twenty20.

There will be a 50% discount for one of the warm-up days - either June 1 or June 3 - when you present a valid ticket for the Saturday of the first npower Test match at the North Gate ticket office on the day of the game. The Lord's tournament ticket office opens on June 1, 2009.

The warm-up matches are Ireland versus Netherlands and New Zealand versus India on June 1 or Sri Lanka against South Africa and England against West Indies on June 3.

The ECB has also agreed to extend the refund period for Saturday’s tickets from the normal 28 days to 56 days, to allow spectators the chance not only to gain their 50 per cent discount on the World Twenty20 matches, but also their full refund for the npower Test match ticket.
