Oval prices for Ashes

Surrey Member here, getting his ducks in a row for the Dec 6th release of Ashes tickets.

The Surrey site lists Ashes ticket-prices for 2023 as: "From £100"   <shocked face>

Anyone had any confirmation of this?
And can anyone indicate if this is the Discounted-for-Members price, or if benefit has been dropped?


Thoughts & comments welcomed

Can confirm. Am a Surrey & England member, and my seat in the Bedser stand is £115 for days 1-4!!!

Presume £100 is for the poor seats in Blocks 1/2. My seat for the ODI is £100 as well.

Think I’m just going to be taking up my seat for one day of the Test, and buying 3 for a small group I’ll be taking another day.

Thank you Matthew.

Every year I attend with a group of 7, and I suspect that the £100 starting price may just be too much.

I note that, just a decade ago, Ashes prices started at £65.

Suffice to say the website this morning has been an absolute shambles

I used to do all the Tests at the Oval, but prices now are insane. It's not that I can't afford it, it's just not good value any more. £100 a day plus your membership. Ridiculous, particularly in today's climate.

I cannot comment on your experience but mine was pretty painless today (enter Q > wait > enter site > purchase tickets)

Same here - no issues at all.

Whilst I agree, £110 is clearly a lot - in comparison to PL football, where my season ticket works out to roughly £75 a match, the value you get from 6 hrs Test cricket in a day is excellent, even at £110. I find this cost point makes it more likely that I’d only do one day of the Test. For the Ashes I usually like to do 2/3 but this price tips that over the edge.

When i was a member in the 70's and 80's i'm sure you got in as part of your membership.
