Tickek Sales at All TIme Low for Austrilia vs India - Melbourne

Despite the highly anticipated test match between India and Australia ticket sales have not measured up with the excitement surrounding the match which will be played on the 26th of December.

A total of 22,000 tickets have been sold for the first day’s play at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) which although is high for a non-ashes season is a disappoint meant compared to last year’s boxing day match in which 67,000 people turned up to the match.

Co-incidental to the 2005/06 season, when the South African’s toured Australia and only 11,000 tickets were sold.

Victoria Cricket staff held a 3 hour meeting On Wednesday to discuss promotional strategies to bring in more people to the game – hoping to be implemented sometime during December (most likely as soon as possible). However, fans are restricted from visiting the visitors, India, who will land in Melbourne with barley enough time to commence their three day match with Victoria at Junction Oval, beginning on the 20th of December.

Australian Fast bowler, Brett Lee, is comparing this match to an Ashes match – although the Ashes being one of the biggest events on the cricket calendar. Bringing up the fact, Cricket Australia is debating to have a 6 day tour for the upcoming Ashes in which England will play in every state around Australia.
