Anyone in the ticket game? (cricket, specifically)

[Dunk76]

Anyone admit to being in the ticket industry?

I'm after a pair of tickets to one of the South Africa matches at either of the London grounds during the next couple of months.

All sold out through normal outlets - so any help much appreciated.

Not cricket im afraid. Been trying for about a year to get Lions tickets for South Africa and think i have just managed to find a contact in SA who can supply hospitality at cost price.

Which is awsome considering a 3 day package to see the first test only is around £2700 . The same amount of money i paid for 3 weeks in Australia to see the World Cup in 2003

There are always tickets available for Lords, just turn up on the day dressed reasonably smartly at the Grace gates where the members go in and ask around. You'll be able to pick up rover tickets for face value from the members who have bought them for friends that now can't make it.

I believe that touting on cricket tickets is also legal and some decent haggling will get tickets at not much more than face value.
