The International Cricket Council has put all the remaining tickets for the World Cup 2019 on sale from today (Thursday).
Remaining tickets will go on general sale on a first-come, first-served basis from 10am British time today (Thursday, September 27) via the World Cup 2019 Official Ticketing Website, ICC has announced in a Press release.
The Fans who have been 100% unsuccessful in their ballot applications were given a 34-hour priority window from 10 am British time on September 25.
Over 2.5 million tickets were applied for over the course of the Cricket Family Ballot and Public Ballot, for 800,000 available tickets, with several fixtures heavily oversubscribed. However, there is still an opportunity to watch the world’s best players in action at next year’s World Cup with a number of great tickets still available.

ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Managing Director, Steve Elworthy, said: “The response from fans in England and Wales and around the World has been exceptional. There are still plenty of great tickets available in the General Sale and my message to fans is to get in early to make sure they are part of this once-in-a-lifetime tournament.”
“So far fans have only been told what matches they have got tickets for and will be told full allocation details, such as seat and stand, closer to the tournament. This means that any tickets currently being advertised on secondary ticketing sites with full allocation details listed are misleading and may well be cancelled. We are monitoring this situation with the ICC and are taking the appropriate legal measures against these sites. We strongly urge all fans to buy their tickets from the Official Ticketing Website.”
All remaining tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis on the Official Ticketing Website, so fans will need to act fast to see the 10 best international teams battle it out across England and Wales next summer to avoid disappointment.

Fans who can no longer attend matches will be able to put their tickets on the Official Resale Platform through the CWC19 ticketing website later in the year. This will be the safest and most secure way to sell tickets at face value and will allow fellow fans to enjoy the unforgettable atmosphere of the World Cup.
Hospitality tickets are now available for most matches and will give fans the opportunity to secure a place at the tournament in addition to enjoying the best match day experience each stadium has to offer.
