Those who book hospitality for a 2026 fixture at Utilita Bowl will receive priority hospitality access for the 2027 Ashes Test Match.

FAQs

Will this match sell out?

Given the scale and demand of The Ashes, and the venue’s consistent record of sell-out England internationals, we expect extremely high demand for this fixture. Most tickets are likely to be secured during Member and Priority Club windows, before reaching the ballot.

What is the best way to secure Ashes tickets?

The earliest and most reliable way to secure Ashes 2027 tickets is through a Hampshire Cricket Membership, which provides first choice of days, first choice of seats and the highest ticket allowances.

Priority Club is the next-best route, guaranteeing access once the Member windows have closed, before the ballot and general public.

How many tickets can I buy?

Ticket allowances differ by access group:

  • Hampshire Cricket Members: Up to 4 tickets per day (depending on membership tenure)

  • Priority Club: Up to 2 tickets per day

  • Ballot entrants: Subject to remaining availability

Full allowances will be confirmed closer to on-sale dates.

When will the Ashes 2027 dates be confirmed?

Fixture dates will be announced by the ECB in summer 2026. You can sign up for updates to be first to hear.

How do I access the ticket ballot?

The ballot for the Ashes and England internationals in 2027 will open in late summer 2026.

What does Priority Club include?

Priority Club (£35) provides:

  • Guaranteed access to 2027 England tickets, including The Ashes (after members)

  • Priority access to high-demand fixtures across the year: England internationals, The Hundred and Vitality Blast

  • Exclusive event invites, offers, discounts and giveaways

Is Priority Club limited?

Yes - Priority Club availability will be capped to maintain strong access for all holders.

Do Hampshire Cricket members get earlier priority than Priority Club?

Yes. Members always receive the earliest access windows and the widest choice of days and seats at the best prices.

Priority Club follows members, then the ballot.

Is Ashes priority access available for all membership types?

Ashes 2027 priority access applies to Adult Hampshire Cricket Memberships only. Junior Memberships do not include Ashes priority windows.

What happens if a 2025 or 2026 Member does not renew for 2027?

To receive Member priority access for The Ashes 2027, supporters must hold an active 2027 Adult Membership.

If a 2026 Member does not renew for 2027, they will not receive Member priority access.

Do Life Members, Millennium Members and Debenture Holders receive Ashes priority?

Yes. Life Members (dependent on purchase date), Millennium Members and Debenture Holders will receive the earliest level of ticket access for The Ashes 2027.

Will hospitality sell out?

Hospitality for major internationals frequently sells out at Utilita Bowl, and Ashes hospitality demand is expected to be exceptionally strong. We recommend booking hospitality in 2026 to gain priority access for hospitality to the Ashes.

Will tickets definitely still be available during the ballot?

Availability at the ballot stage is expected to be extremely limited. We recommend securing earlier access through a membership or Priority Club.
