ST JOHN’S, Antigua, CMC – Tickets will go on sale next week for the hotly anticipated white-ball series between West Indies and England at year-end.
The two teams will clash in three One-Day Internationals and five Twenty20 Internationals from December 1-21 in Antigua, Barbados, Grenada and Trinidad.
Tickets for the final two T20 Internationals at the Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad will, however, go on sale July 23, Cricket West Indies said Wednesday.
“We are excited to welcome fans to enjoy what will be an action-packed series,” said CWI’s commercial director, Dominic Warne.
“Visiting fans will get a chance to enjoy the amazing sights and scenes of cricket in the West Indies as the home fans will again create that unique and vibrant atmosphere which is only seen at cricket in the Caribbean.
“We believe tickets for the England series will form the perfect gift for the pre-Christmas period, so we anticipate thousands of cricket lovers snapping up the seats in the coming weeks.
“With the expected large crowds, we’re providing an early Christmas gift of the online discount to encourage fans to make their purchases early and to guarantee their tickets.”
Tickets will range from the platinum seat category to standard seats and grounds, with sale of tickets for the now popular party stands set to go on sale shortly.
Fans purchasing online instead of at the venue box offices will benefit from a 20 per cent discount.
Tickets will also go online next week for the six-match women’s series between West Indies and Ireland, which bowls off at the Darren Sammy Cricket Ground in St Lucia on Monday.
The series comprises three ODIs and three T20Is and runs until July 8.
“We’re excited that St. Lucia is hosting the only West Indies Women’s home Series in 2023, especially with the new generation of young players coming through including exciting local talent from St Lucia,” Warne said.
“With promotional online ticket prices and the free ticket offer from West Indies official sponsor Mastercard, we’re encouraging local fans to come out and support the West Indies Women with the same noise and colour that St. Lucian fans generated during the Women’s T20 World Cup in 2018.
“We hope West Indies fans rally to support the Maroon Warriors as they push for points to qualify automatically for the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025.”
Fans can purchase advance tickets online for US$6 while tickets from the box office on each match day will cost US$7.50.
