Edgbaston expanding for Ashes test
Edgbaston is to add 840 temporary seats to its capacity for next summer’s first Ashes Test against Australia, as well as matches in the World Cup and the domestic Twenty20 Blast Finals Day.
Gareth Roberts, commercial director at Edgbaston, said: “There’s never been a bigger programme of cricket in Birmingham than what’s coming in 2019, with the Ashes, ICC Cricket World Cup and Finals Day all coming to Edgbaston.
“We’re very proud to bring the biggest fixtures in the game to Birmingham and, in response to the initial demand that we’ve seen, we wanted to give more spectators an opportunity to secure tickets for these games.”
