The gullivers/living with the lions and all the other sports travel organiser have tied up all the Lions match tickets with their extortionate package prices.
Sourcing match tickets is your challenge and myself and a few mates have resigned ourselves to not going as it’s too difficult get hold of match tickets and none of us are going to travel without having them in hand.
Will be the first one we have missed since our first in 1993. Paid £900 for return economy back then Heathrow – LA – Hawaii – Auckland
Cricket a lot easier to travel and watch now. Just did business class to Antigua with virgin to watch the cricket and sourced hotel/ match tickets ourselves and our cost was half what the travel companies charged with economy flights.
Sri Lanka likely next in Jan/feb 2026
