Of course, English champions of the world has a nice ring to it. It almost goes without saying that England Cricket tickets are currently most prized commodities indeed, but there are still bargains available if you look in the right places.
The secondary market of the UK ticket industry has a stigma attached to it, but there is a good reason that it is still thrives - and is keeping thousands of fans happy. The rather dogmatic view of seedy touts waiting outside venues is rapidly becoming an outdated one, for there are now plenty of secure sources for re-sales - sometimes at less than the original price.
England have just began a two Test series against Bangladesh. The more intrepid consumer can save a lot of money by choosing the vendor and day they attend carefully.
England v Bangladesh, 1st Test, Day 5 at Lords on Monday 31st May, is clearly the most expensive beginning at £80, but tickets for England v Bangladesh, 1st Test, Day 3 on Saturday 29th May can be obtained from just £35.
Because primary sites are retailing their allocation for the same match for £40, it shows there is excellent value to be found in the secondary market.
There are similar bargains to be found in the Second Test. England v Bangladesh, 2nd Test, Day 2 Tickets at Lancashire County Cricket Club on Saturday 5th June can be picked up from just £18 each.
