Frequently Asked Questions

  • As a once-in-a-generation event, demand for the 150th Anniversary Test Match is expected to be incredibly high. This ticket ballot system, consistent with those utilised at major international events, ensures fair allocation by distributing tickets through a random selection process, and gives everyone an equal chance at attending the match.

  • Given this is a global celebration of 150 years of Test cricket we want to ensure that people residing in Victoria and outside of Victoria have an equal opportunity to access tickets.

    Please ensure that you select the correct ballot that matches your Ticketek account details to ensure your registration is valid.

  • The Ticket Ballot is available for individuals with accessible requirements. To request accessible seating, select Accessible Seat in your ticket preferences. When choosing the quantity of tickets, you will be able to specify your accessible needs. The available options include:

    Blindness or low vision

    Easy Access

  • Yes, you may be successful in securing tickets for more than one day of the Test if you apply for multiple days, as each Test day is drawn independently in the random ballot process.

    Please be aware: because the Ticket Ballot is random, applying for several Test days could result in being allocated, and automatically charged for, tickets to multiple days. As tickets are non-refundable once allocated, we strongly recommend that you only apply for the days you genuinely wish to attend and are prepared to pay for.

  • You will be charged a $5.00 registration fee per ticket requested when applying to cover Ticketek administration costs. This fee will be refunded if you are unsuccessful in securing a ticket.

    If you are successful in securing tickets, you will be automatically charged the total cost of your allocated tickets as per the ticket prices below (in addition to the $5.00 registration fee per ticket already paid). The charge will be made to the credit card entered when applying for the Ticket Ballot.

    Please be aware: You must ensure they have enough funds on your nominated credit card to pay for all requested tickets as there will be no follow up if your credit card declines – tickets will instead be reallocated to the next eligible registration.
