    Good job the Ashes are not at TB this year then, some poor bugger may get lumbered sitting next to you Harry!!

      yep you’d be wise not to go to the T3 lounges this Friday…

  Rob – do u know which category of standard admission is this? Plat, gold, silver or bronze?

  • Rob says:

    22 May22 May 11:05

    It doesn’t say. They will come from the sponsor allocation so presumably decent.

  Would be interesting to know which category these tickets are for – the Afghanistan Vs New Zealand match was £19 for the cheapest ticket but these are sold out going up to £75 for the top tickets, which are still available.

  Lots of games sold out though so depends on how much people want to see the games

• Lumma says:

  Lots of big games sold out or just the top categories left for sale, so good value as long as you want to go. Emirates football tickets have been for decent seats too in the past

  • Rob says:

    22 May22 May 11:05

    As was Queens Club tennis last year where we had great seats.

  They’re described as “category 1” tickets – which I guess must mean Gold.

  Eng v Aus @ Lords is 18000 miles. About face value for the tickets I guess.

  OMG!!! Finally something useful for my MR points!!!

  I’ve signed up and added an EK account – how long does an initial connection take?

  On a totally unrelated point, what was the amex thing where you could buy top-up MR points?

  Thanks so much Rob

    **amex –> skywards connection

  • BS says:

    22 May22 May 11:24

    so excited can’t type propoerly…

    Should be within 24 hours, transfer are then instant.

    You’re thinking of https://headforpoints.com/2019/04/20/how-amex-membership-rewards-members-can-buy-miles-for-up-to-50-off-3/

    I have no idea how many seats EK has per game. If you are only after a specific match, perhaps ask someone on here who has a big EK balance (which is not me) to double-check before you transfer?

      Im after India England on the 30th June (husbands birthday as well so ideal present). Would someone please be able to check availability for me before i transfer points?

    • Sussex Bantam says:

      22 May22 May 12:38

      Mine just linked within about 30 minutes.so you might want to check back frequently

      • Sanya says:

        22 May22 May 13:11

        Have you transferred any MR yet Suxxex Bantam? Was it instant?

        • Sussex Bantam says:

          22 May22 May 13:44

          No – I decided against it in the end. I asked myself if I would have paid £180 for a ticket for Eng vs Aus and decided that I wouldn’t !

          I have already got tickets for a couple of games anyway so decided that was my limit.

      • Abhi says:

        22 May22 May 14:17

        Its not £180.

        10,000 points are redeemed at £50.

        So Eng v Aus would be, at 18,000 points around £90. Not bad at all for tickets that are so sought after.

        • Sanya says:

          22 May22 May 14:24

          That depends on how you value Amex MR points. I have in the past redeemed them for hotels etc at 1p per point, so £180 is a fair estimation.

        • Sussex Bantam says:

          22 May22 May 14:51

          £90 would indeed by decent value – but I value MR points at 1p each so I get to £180.

          Still not bad value for the tickets but throw-in £50 of train fare and another day off work and I’ve decided that I’ll stick with the two games I already have.

• BS says:

  22 May22 May 13:12

  Right – I sent up and opened an EK account. Linked with MR within 30 mins. Transfers then instant. Booked 2 x tickets for the semi-final. It says there was an ‘error’ processing the order. Support are now looking in to it.

  All a bit disappointing…

  • Canille55 says:

    22 May22 May 14:13

    Same here. Tried for 2 tickets for the final plus one of the group games and it said there is a technical error, try again later. So did the same and have asked support to look into it.

    A bit crap really.

    • BS says:

      22 May22 May 14:20

      I will be really annoyed if it turns out they actually dont have any tickets. I made an amex transfer specially.

      • marcw says:

        22 May22 May 14:37

        All sold-out already (ages ago). But EK did not update web?

        • Rob says:

          22 May22 May 15:04

          Seems unlikely. They only appeared overnight and I doubt Afghanistan has that many fans in Cardiff. Most stuff they have sits for ages unless we cover it.

      • NM says:

        22 May22 May 17:07

        Any update from the support team?

        • BS says:

          22 May22 May 17:11

          My update:
          Received an error message when completing purchase, no miles taken, not allowing me to purchase again as a new error message earlier on says the max tickets per account you can buy is 2.
          The chat and call centre people cannot deal with it. They asked me to email a special email address for the hospitality team, who are otherwise completely uncontactable. I have emailed them 2 hours ago, no response back yet.

          Pretty poor.

  • NM says:

    22 May22 May 18:22

    Please can you share the email address of the hospitality team.

  Category 1 is likely to be the Platinum category of tickets.
