Summary We expected a high demand for tickets, so we are pleased we could reward the players, coaches.
Web Desk – Less than a year left for The ICC Cricket World Cup and in the first round of ticket ballots, till now, over one million tickets have been applied.
The Old Trafford fixture between India and Pakistan proved to be the most popular, receiving enough applications to fill Wembley Stadium twice over, closely followed by the final at Lord s on July 14.
"The response has been fantastic, not only domestically in England and Wales, but from fans around the world, which gives us enormous satisfaction as we work towards making this a truly global celebration of cricket," said ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Managing Director Steve Elworthy.
"We expected a high demand for tickets, so we are pleased we could reward the players, coaches, umpires and supporters who make up the Cricket Family via priority access. We look forward to seeing the excitement continue when the Public Ballot opens later this summer," Elworthy added.
However, when the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Public tickets opens on August 1, there will be another opportunity to purchase the remaining tickets which will be the first time the tickets will be on sale.
On the other Hand, tickets for children are available from six pounds, with a family of four able to go to selected group games for as little as 44 pounds.
Remaining tickets will go on general sale on a first-come, first-served basis later in 2018.
