• Musical instruments are not permitted in the Ground without prior approval. If someone has a ticket for a seat in the Compton or Edrich Upper stands, and a musical instrument is able to fit safely and securely under their seat, subject to their obtaining MCC’s prior written approval, in MCC’s absolute discretion, at least 21 days prior to the match via wtcfregs@mcc.og.uk, as to the suitability and safety of such musical instrument, they may be able to bring such musical instrument into Lord’s.

• In the event that the Ground Regulations for the ICC World Test Championship Final are in conflict with the Terms and Conditions applicable to tickets for the match, the latter shall take precedence.
