South African fans have shown their excitement for Proteas action, with less than a month to go until the first T20 International at Sahara Park Newlands on October 13th. Ticket sales for both T20 Internationals against Australia have been encouraging as fans look forward to a bumper cricket summer.
Sahara Park Newlands will host the first match of the anticipated Series between South Africa and Australia, and at this stage, the match looks certain to be a sell-out.
“Ticket sales for the T20 clash against Australia are going well and as of this morning we had already sold nearly 7000 tickets,” commented Nashua Mobile Cape Cobras CEO, Andre Odendaal. “This game is sure to be a sell out and fans are encouraged to secure their tickets early to avoid disappointment. Season ticket sales are also open until the end of September from the ticket office so fans must get their tickets as soon as possible to avoid queues during season.”
Bidvest Wanderers will host their first T20 International match since November 2009 on October 16th, and judging by the response, the anticipation from the Gauteng fans grows by the day.
Cassim Docrat, CEO of the bizhub Highveld Lions said: “We are more than satisfied with the response from the public on the opening of ticket sales so far. The public is looking forward to both the Australians and Sri Lankans visit to South Africa. Indications are good for a sell-out on the 16th of October.”
The series against Australia consists of two T20s, three ODIs and two Test matches. Sri Lanka starts their tour in the middle of December and play three Test matches over the traditional festive season followed by five ODIs in January.
