A Restricted View seat is classed as: a General Admission Ticket that has a full and uninterrupted view of the playing wicket but may have (a) between 20 - 40% of the outfield obscured; (b) a replay screen/scoreboard obscured or not visible; and/or (c) something may be in the line of sight. You can see the view from all seats here.

We’ll run the ballot and allocate the initial tickets we have available in the original ticket category and stand location as indicated in your application. 

To maximise opportunity for success, we will also include your application for a lower ticket category (not including restricted view) and other stands. You may therefore be allocated tickets at a lower ticket price or in an alternate stand location. 

We will not allocate you tickets at a higher price than the one you selected as your preferred.

Please first select the category of ticket you wish to apply for, you will then get the opportunity to choose from a specific stand of seating within that category. We will make best efforts to allocate seats in the category and stand you have requested. The Ground plan shows where each category of seating is available. 

Please note that Block 1 of Compton Stand is category D and is no-alcohol seating. 

With the overwhelming volume of applications received, it’s not possible to select your exact seat within the ballot.

We will run the ballot and allocate all winners a seat within the category of the ticket requested, and wherever possible in the preferred stand.
