Lord's Faces Backlash Over High Ticket Prices for 2025 Cricket Matches

MCC criticized for pricing out fans with steep costs for England-India Test and World Test Championship final.

Ticket prices for the first three days of the England-India Test at Lord's range from £90 to £175, sparking controversy.
The World Test Championship final tickets will cost between £70-£130 for adults, with under-16s priced at £20-£50.
Criticism follows low attendance at the Sri Lanka Test, where high prices led to fewer than 10,000 fans attending the fourth day.
England captain Ben Stokes and stand-in captain Ollie Pope have both called for more affordable ticket prices to attract families and children.
MCC plans to review pricing policies for future matches, particularly for the fourth day, to address fan concerns.
