England cricket fans worried about tickets for the Ashes
England supporters' fears over ticket availability for the Ashes are
getting stronger after Cricket Australia insisted that visitors will
not outnumber home fans.
Allocations for tickets have yet to be confirmed, but reports suggest only 2,000 seats a day will go to away fans in Adelaide.
Australia leg-spinner Shane Warne has urged Cricket Australia to "make sure they're not home Tests for England".
And CA spokesman Peter Young said: "Aussies should have as good a chance to see their team as we can provide."
The demand for tickets is at an all-time high following England winning
an Ashes series for the first time in 18 years last summer.
Peter Young said that the ticket prices and sale dates would be the
responsibility of individual state associations and that everything had
to be finalised before any details could be announced.
"It's the most extraordinary customer interest we've ever encountered," Peter Young admitted.
"We hope that lots of UK visitors come - it adds to the colour and
excitement. We also hope that they leave lots of their pounds sterling
here," Peter Young said.
