Sport News 24/7England v Australia tickets are cheaper in earlier ODIs

With neither side managing to look particularly impressive in the football World Cup, England and Australia renew their cricketing rivalry instead with a series of five One Day Internationals. Having defeated the Aussies in the ICC World Twenty20 final in May, England will look to continue their excellence at shorter forms of the game with a win.
Results after the ICC World Twenty have been impressive - with England defeating Bangladesh twice in Test matches, and with the Ashes looming on the horizon, this is a chance for England to keep the momentum they began so impressively in the West Indies.
England v Australia tickets for the June - July ODI series are available for cheaper prices the earlier fans go to see them.
The first match at Southampton Rose Bowl has tickets available from £50 from Seatwave, while the fifth ODI at Lord's Cricket Ground is substantially more expensive. The current cheapest tickets are on sale - again through Seatwave - for £145 apiece.
Tickets get gradually more expensive the later the match is in the series. With the Lord's match being the last in the series, it is more likely to be critical in the overall outcome, and this and the fact that it is to be played on a Saturday mean that demand is inevitably higher. Furthermore, it will take place in London, which harbours the densest population per square mile in the UK.
Still, the high surrounding English cricket is a rare one - particularly when facing Australia - and star players such as Kevin Pietersen, Graeme Swann, Eoin Morgan and Craig Kieswetter will hope to spur England on to victory. That will give the nation much cause for optimism for the Ashes in Australia this November.
