Few fixtures carry the weight of an Ashes series. In summer 2027, Australia travel to England for five Tests at Lord's, The Oval, Edgbaston, Trent Bridge and the Utilita Bowl in Southampton, which is hosting its first men's Ashes Test.

For most supporters, getting through the gate starts with a ballot. Tickets go first to county and supporters' club members through priority windows. Whatever is left is then allocated at random to public applicants. When England last hosted the Ashes in 2023, every Test sold out. The ballot is free to enter, but entering it doesn't mean you'll be there.

Premium seats and hospitality work differently. Seat Unique is a UK platform for premium tickets and hospitality at major sporting and live events. Its Ashes packages can be booked directly, with no ballot and no waiting for results. You won't have to wonder whether you'll be in the ground on the day the series turns.

What premium means at the cricket

A Test day is long, and where you spend it matters. The options range from well-placed seats with a clear view of the middle to full hospitality, where dining, drinks and a dedicated space between sessions are all part of the day. Packages vary by venue and day, so it's worth comparing what's included before you choose.

Choosing your Test

Each ground offers something different. Lord's brings the ceremony and history of the home of cricket. Edgbaston is known for one of the loudest atmospheres in the English game. The Oval has a long record of staging series-defining finales. Trent Bridge and the Utilita Bowl give you a quieter, closer view of the contest.

The day you choose matters too. Opening days carry the anticipation. Weekends suit groups and families. Days four and five are often where a Test is won or lost.

Why booking early matters

Premium and hospitality allocations are finite. The most requested days, particularly opening days, weekends and the Lord's Test, are usually the first to go. Booking early lets you pick your venue, day and experience yourself, rather than taking whatever is left.

The Ashes comes to England once every four years. If you want to be there, it's worth making sure you are.
