Nottinghamshire Ashes Ticket Sales
NOTTINGHAMSHIRE have already topped #500,000 in ticket sales for
the fifth Cornhill Ashes Test at Trent Bridge, which starts on
Aug 7, and are well on the way to a sell-out on each of the first
four days.
Tickets went on sale only six weeks ago and Nottinghamshire
officials feel this demand underlines the need for them to provide extra seating at the ground. They hope to do this next
winter by redeveloping the Radcliffe Road end if an application
for #3.75 million of National Lottery funding is successful.
"The level of interest for occasions like this shows that we
need to increase the capacity of the ground in the near future
especially with us likely to be staging at least three matches
in the 1999 World Cup," said Mark Arthur, the Notts marketing
manager.
