  • iOS 18.5 for Apple devices
  • Android 16 for Android devices

We understand that moving to digital tickets is a change for some, and we want to assure you that this decision was made with our customers and the future in mind. There are several key reasons for this transition:

  1. Sustainability: By eliminating paper tickets, we're significantly reducing our environmental impact. This means less paper waste, reduced energy consumption from printing, and a smaller carbon footprint from distribution. It's a step towards a greener future.

  2. Enhanced Security: Digital tickets offer a higher level of security compared to traditional paper tickets. Each digital ticket is unique and can be easily verified, reducing the risk of fraud and counterfeiting. This ensures that your ticket is valid and gets you into your matchday. Furthermore, you can be confident that transferring tickets to others is a secure process within our digital system.

  3. Ease of Use: Digital tickets provide greater convenience for fans. You can access and manage your tickets directly from the ICC App which will be available in the coming weeks. This eliminates the worry of losing or forgetting your tickets, and it streamlines the entry process at the venue.

Rest assured we are committed to providing a smooth transition to digital ticketing. If you have any concerns, our customer support team is here to help and will be present on the day to assist.

 

MATCH TIMINGS

It's an earlier than normal start - DON'T MISS THE FIRST BALL! 

Please be aware that play is scheduled to begin at 10.30 each morning of this Test match – half an hour earlier than usual for Test matches in England and Wales. As a result, our usual entry times will be brought forward by 30 minutes.

The ground will be very busy and we strongly encourage all spectators to arrive as early as possible, soon after the gates open, to allow extra time for queuing and security checks so you're in your seat for the start of the match. 

8:30 gates open
please use the gate/arrival time as shown on your ticket. This will help minimise congestion at the gates 
10:30 Scheduled start of play
12.30 – 13.10 Lunch
15:10 - 15:30 TEa
17.30 Scheduled close of play 

 

LORD’S IS CASHLESS

Lord’s is a cashless Ground. Debit and credit card payments as well as mobile payments such as Apple Pay and Google Pay are accepted at all tills around the Ground.
 

travel

There are plenty of options across the Transport For London (TFL) network to get to Lord’s. Please note that roadworks on Wellington Road throughout the summer will cause some disruption in and around St John’s Wood underground station and therefore we urge you to use alternatives whenever possible.

It is also highly recommended to use the Underground station most appropriate for where you will be seated in the Ground. These options should be considered for entry and leaving:

  • For the Warner Stand, Pavilion, and Tavern and Allen Stands, use Warwick Avenue or Edgware Road (15 min walk)
  • For Mound and Edrich Stands, use Baker Street (15 min walk)
  • For the Grand and Compton Stands, use St. John's Wood (10 min walk)

The closet rail stations are Marylebone (15 mins) and Paddington which is a pleasant 20-minute stroll taking in the canals of Little Venice.

Entry through the North Gate will be via automated turnstiles, with stewards on hand to assist if needed.
