They have had great success with our fellow counties, and we are so pleased to be able to offer our fans, families and businesses a simple, convenient way to purchase hospitality online.
With Seat Unique’s support, we can now offer another avenue for new guests that we can welcome to the Essex Cricket family in 2023.”
Robin Sherry, CEO and Founder of Seat Unique, added, “We are pleased to announce another strong partnership with another first-class county cricket club – this time with Essex Cricket.”
