If would be interesting to hear from anyone Brits who know their eBay-purchased Ashes tickets have been voided, or believe they may have been. I’d be keen to hear from anyone in this position for an article I’m writing, and I’m sure others would be keen to hear on this website. For the newspaper article, I can be contacted at jono(dot)milne(at)gmail(dot)com.

Ashes tickets cancelled
By Emma 2 years ago, at the end of August Leave a comment on this post
It seems that Cricket Australia has taken a step of voiding some 1300 Ashes tickets today, in an attempt to curtail the internet auction trend.
It’s a risk you take if you buy from sites like eBay. What is slightly odd is the Board’s decision to not announce which tickets have been cancelled. Without this, eBay cannot help push for compensation and even the most informed fans will make unnecessary journeys and clog up stadium traffic and entrances.
Many of those with eBay tickets will be English fans. A long way to go to be turned away at the ground. Hopefully, this is just a delay on the Board’s part. Otherwise the people losing out the most will be fans, not touts.

I imagine that details of the tickets may not be announced as a particularly nasty way of discouraging anyone from purchasing tickets on the ‘net.

just shocked to hear what’s happened - have managed to get tickets off ebay, at premium ok but that’s the way of supply and demand. Can’t now book flights from UK until tickets confirmed as ok. Just hope ca allow us to do this soon as at least we can look for some kind of compensation off ebay if voided. And I’ll be supporting Australia as I’m from Scotland!
