With the summers we will be getting, not worth risking £75.

Unbelievably high prices, This will be the last time the ECB can get away with it I'd imagine. Surely the public will see they're being ripped off .

I went to the Saturday of the last Edgbaston Ashes test and paid £50 IIRC. That was about my top limit. It's also getting more and more rowdy and the first major instance of booze fuelled violence is only a matter of time I fear.

I thought the ticket prices were their answer to the crowds getting more rowdy.

Test cricket 10 years ago was about a tenner for thursday or friday, bit more for saturday sunday. What a con.

To be honest, for Australia I think it probably is worth it, but not for anyone else.

People pay close to £200 for some England Rugby tickets.  Never underestimate the demand that is out there from people with enough money to spend on what they see as a one off luxury.

I paid £71 for the friday at the oval, but only a tenner on the monday, it's worth taking the chance at the oval as they normally last the full 5 days(mainly due to rain it must be said)
