MELBOURNE: Tickets to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 went on sale to the general public Monday, giving fans the opportunity to secure their seats for the tournament across Australia from October 16 – November 13.
The 2022 edition of the T20 World Cup has 16 international teams taking part. Tickets went on sale at t20worldcup.com from 1200 Midday (AEDT) on Monday for all 45 T20 World Cup matches, including the final, which will be played at the MCG on 13 November.
Children’s tickets are available for every first round and Super 12 match from $5, with adult tickets available at selected matches at each venue from $20.
To mark the occasion of tickets going on sale, a new campaign ‘This is the Big Time’ was launched featuring some of the giants of international T20 cricket to showcase the unmissable nature of the most vibrant and action-packed global event Australia will host in 2022.
The larger-than-life concept features stars of the game peering into skyscrapers, emerging from iconic waterways and making the city streets tremble with their imposing size.
Australia’s big-hitting Glenn Maxwell, New Zealand captain Kane Williamson and India’s rising star wicketkeeper-batter, Rishabh Pant, feature in the three-part TVC campaign, with Williamson’s released Monday (February 7) and the Maxwell and Pant versions to be aired later this month.
It’s the first time that Australia will host T20 cricket’s global showpiece for men, with matches to be played in Adelaide, Brisbane, Geelong, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney.
The fixture for the event was recently announced with the first round to get underway in Geelong and Hobart featuring former champions West Indies and Sri Lanka, before hosts and defending champions Australia take on New Zealand in the opening match of the Super 12 at the SCG on Saturday 22 October in a re-match of the T20 World Cup 2021 final.
T20 World Cup 2022 Local Organising Committee CEO Michelle Enright said: “We’ve worked really hard to make families and communities a priority in ensuring the T20 World Cup is accessibly priced, so a family of two adults and two kids will be able to see World Cup cricket in all our host cities from just $50.
“There’s nothing bigger in cricket than a World Cup and the T20 format is such a fun, energetic, vibrant celebration of cricket and culture – it really is the big time and that’s exactly what the campaign we are launching today is all about.
“To see stars of the game towering over our host cities and making their presence felt through sheer size and entertainment speaks to the impact we want to make with fans. I really hope it puts smiles on faces and gets Australia excited to witness the best players go head-to-head in our own backyard.”
