Coming on the day that the ECB announced a 23% year on year rise in attendances at domestic cricket matches, its seems the growing popularity and record attendances of 1.5million in 2008 are becoming reflected in resale ticket prices for this summer’s Twenty20 World Cup.
While many Twenty20 Cricket World Cup tickets for the early round and semi finals remain available at a modest increase on face value prices a Final Day Gold Ticket with a face value of £90 is currently being offered at a price of £750, a massive 833% mark up.
While the ECB hope to dissuade supporters and brokers alike from engaging in the resale of Twenty20 Cricket World Cup tickets, it remains to be seen whether this will be effective or simply limit the supply of Tweny20 Cricket World Cup tickets further, resulting in increased demand and ever increasing Twenty20 Ticket resale prices.
Hundreds of Twenty20 World Cup Tickets are still available from £30.
