A new release of tickets for the ICC World Twenty20, England 2009 will go on sale later this week at 11am on Thursday 29 January.

These newly available tournament tickets will give cricket fans and families the opportunity to enjoy this summer’s most exciting international tournament being staged at four venues across England: Lord’s, The Oval, Trent Bridge and Taunton.

The tournament begins on Friday 5 June 2009 (England's first game, against the Netherlands is at Lord's that day) and finishing on Sunday 21 June with the finals also at Lord's.

The two-week ICC World Twenty20 will set a sporting global precedent with the men’s and women’s tournament integrated for the first time.

Late qualifiers: Scotland in action at Lord's The semi-final days, which are being hosted at Trent Bridge and The Oval, and the final day at Lord’s will feature the women’s match followed by the men’s.

Tournament Director Steve Elworthy said: "We saw unprecedented interest when the first allocation of tickets went on sale in June 2008 with all those match days selling out in hours.

Prices have been tailored to ensure a value day out for fans and families with 20 of the match-days including two games showcasing four international teams.

This double-header format allows spectators to view two games for the price of one match-day ticket.

"This latest ticket offer gives fans from Associate countries Ireland, Scotland and Netherlands, who qualified after the first ticket launch, a chance to purchase tickets."
