This lottery is only available for a few days

Then it closes

But in reality, they are reserved.

The rest of the remaining tickets are reserved for local cricket clubs like the mcc

You enter a raffle that costs money to get a ticket and don't get refunded if you don't get a ticket?

This is a farce

No, I mean you pay for the tickets, if you get any ?

Regardless of how early you are

Lords is the Cricket stadium too, it's where the final will be

Yep, I registered asap

Didn't get anything

F indeed

Gotta get into that MCC

So don't go around shit talking people that have to use the black market because frankly the real black market here is the ICCs absurd system

If your aunt is in the club, maybe she can vouch for you to get vetted.

No none of us are

She probably is if she got tickets.

And it wouldn't be so quick

Nahh, she got them off a friends father in law

Who probably is in the club

Really the mcc should do the honourable thing and sell the tickets off to us

You know what to do now: find this man to endorse you.

I'm not about to use my aunt's resources

I do have an idea

Did you read the article btw?

Seems like limiting game attendance as a watch is limited to socialites and those associated regardless of the funds one has available or how early one is.

Yes

Also Lords has this thing that it's been doing since I was a kid, which is to bring in schoolchildren in situations where a half empty stadium does not look ideal

That's how I went to see my only cricket match so far

I was ten years old

It was great

Part of a school trip?

Yupp

More seats filled the better

There should be a college student voucher for getting access.

My Primary school used to go every year but it hasn't for nine years now

I'm hoping to use this as an opportunity

I would think they would be worried about ticket sales being dismal anyway.

Especially because in the article they mentioned that they were bringing in 250 schoolkids

Are they holding on to 50% of tickets that aren't being sold?
