Global cricket fans will have exclusive access to a priority ballot which will give them the first chance to grab ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 tickets.

Those who have registered their interest will go into the ballot, which will be drawn in May, with the results of the family ballot announced in June 2018.

The ICC Cricket World Cup returns to England and Wales for the first time in since Australia’s victory back in 1999. Next year’s tournament, which will feature 10 teams across 48 matches between 30th May and 14th July, will be the fourth time England & Wales have hosted the global event.

Cricket fans unsuccessful in the May ballot will have a further opportunity to access tickets by automatically being entered into the public ballot which will be launched in July 2018, whilst in September this year any remaining tickets will go on sale on a first come, first serve basis, exclusively at cricketworldcup.com. A ticket resale platform for fans is planned after the public sale.

To be in with a chance of claiming the first batch of tickets fans must register at www.icc-cricket.com/cricket-world-cup/tickets-about.

Tournament director, Steve Elworthy, said: “With demand expected to be high, we are providing a priority ballot opportunity for the cricket family all over the world to apply for tickets. Our ticketing strategy has been designed to reward the players, coaches, umpires and supporters who make up the cricket family via priority access. This promises to be the greatest and most inclusive ICC Cricket World Cup ever as we prepare to not only welcome people from around the United Kingdom but also all over the world.

“The unique atmosphere at matches across England and Wales is created by the fact that every competing team has strong support across the local communities and want to watch their heroes play at some of the most famous grounds in world cricket.

“So, our message is clear. If you want to be a part of the cricket family priority ticket ballot in May, you must register now so that you don’t miss out.”
