All matches being played at Lord's are available to view online. If you wish to download all the fixtures onto your online calendar, please click on the 'Download the Fixture Calendar button at the top of the page and follow the instructions.

Full Members can attend any cricket match day on the Main Ground at Lord’s by production of their valid red Membership Pass alone. 

Senior & Associate Members can attend some match days by the same method using their yellow Membership Pass. The Pass will show you which days you have membership privileges.

Your Membership Pass will be checked by our security staff upon arrival. You do not need to notify us in advance if you plan to attend on match days. 

For minor match days, you can watch the cricket from any open area of the Ground, including the Pavilion (noting the Dress Regulations). 

For major match days, you are able to sit in any unreserved seat in the Pavilion (subject to capacity) or in the Members’ Friends’ Enclosures. Up to 60% of seats in the Members’ Friends’ Enclosures are allocated to Reserved Seats. These areas will be designated and clearly communicated in advance of each match day.

Guests are only permitted into the Pavilion on certain match days and numbers are limited by the Special Regulations confirmed by the Membership & General Purposes committee each year. Guests must have valid Ground Admission tickets (a Rover or Pavilion Admission ticket on Major Match days).

Guests must adhere to Dress Regulations for Pavilion admittance on match days. Please see here for more information.

Please introduce your guest(s) to the Pavilion Stewards at the North or South Doors where they will receive a Pavilion Admission ticket. Please ask your guest(s) to return the ticket once they leave. 

During international matches (subject to Special Regulations), the Pavilion is open to Members only during play. Once play has finished, the Ground remains open for up to an hour and Members can introduce guests into the Pavilion (subject to capacity and at the Club’s discretion) via the South Door. 

The Members’ Queue is viewed by many as a cherished tradition. To get hold of their favourite seat, some Members queue up by the Grace or North gates as early as they can, though gates do not usually open until two hours before play is scheduled to start. 

It should be noted, however, that Members who have not queued should still be able to find a seat. If you are having difficulty finding somewhere to sit on our busier match days, please speak to one of our stewards, who will be able to help you.

There are two queues at both the Grace and North gates. One for unaccompanied Members and one for Members and their  Rover ticket-holding guests. The Unaccompanied Members’ Queue is admitted first and the Members’ and Guests’ Queue is admitted once the first queue has been exhausted.

At the Grace Gate, the Unaccompanied Members’ queue lines up towards the Heyhoe Flint Gate, tracing back towards the junction of St. John’s Wood Road and Wellington Road. The Members’ and Guests’ Queue files back in the opposite direction, towards the junction of St. John’s Wood Road and Grove End Road.

At the North Gate, the Unaccompanied Members’ Queue follows in a westerly direction up Cavendish Avenue while the Members and Guests Queue lines up towards the junction of Wellington Place and Cavendish Avenue.

Please note that Senior and Associate Members can only gain admittance via the Unaccompanied Members’ Queue queues if they have membership privileges that day. 

To ensure there is no queue-jumping on Major Match days, we provide Members in the queues at the North and Grace gates with a numbered card before gates open. These correspond to your place in the queue.

Each card is colour-coded and you will be asked to enter the Ground in turn as your colour is called. If you do not receive a Queue Card, you will not be admitted to the Ground until all those with Queue Cards have entered.

Please hand back your card to our staff as your Membership Pass is scanned.

Our catering team offer a variety of food options throughout any match day at Lord’s, including breakfast, lunch or supper in the Pavilion, depending on the match day. You are also able to purchase food in any of our food outlets around the Ground.

You can bring as much food and non-alcoholic drink into the Ground as you wish. Many Members like to ‘reserve’ a spot on the Coronation Garden for a picnic during the Lunch interval at Test matches. You can also purchase ready-made hampers from our Michelin-starred chef Tommy Banks.

We are also the only cricket ground that allows spectators to bring their own alcoholic drinks so long as they adhere to one of the following descriptions and quantities:

one bottle of wine or Champagne (max. 750ml); or

Members can also enjoy 20% off all soft or alcoholic drinks in any Public Bar, and drinks concession unit, by producing your valid Membership Pass to the bar staff before you complete the transaction.

MCC Extras is the Club’s benefits programme for our Members. The programme provides a wide variety of unique experiences, affiliate offers and tailored products, exclusive to MCC Members. 

The programme includes a variety of interactive events through our MCC Extras Presents series, and we have worked with a number of affiliate partners to create offers on a range of lifestyle products, services and luxury brands, to be enjoyed by our Members.

MCC Extras Presents is part of the Club’s benefits programme for our Members – MCC Extras. This programme has been created from insight gained through research conducted in 2020 to understand Members’ lifestyles, brand preferences, hobbies and interests outside of cricket. MCC Extras will offer associated affiliate benefits and experiences.

MCC Extras Presents is a regular series which offers Members access to exclusive events providing engaging content and opportunities, featuring special guest speakers and affiliate partners. 

The series comprises three formats; ‘In Conversation With…’, ‘Presentations’ and ‘Experiences’.

These events are currently scheduled to be held online until it is possible to host them at the Ground.

Registration is necessary for all sessions. You will receive an email about how to register for a session in our regular MCC Extras Monthly emails.

Upcoming sessions can be found on the MCC Extras webpage.

The link will be sent to your email address the day before the session. Please check your spam if it cannot be seen in your inbox. If you are still unable to locate the link please contact MCC at communications@mcc.org.uk and we will resend the link to you.

Yes, all sessions will be recorded and will be archived on the Members’ area.

During the ‘Experiences’ and ‘Presentations’ Members will be able to add questions to the live feed chat and the host will monitor these to share with the presenter/s at an appropriate time.

For the ‘In Conversation with’ sessions Members will be able to submit a question/s when registering for the session. A selection of questions will be chosen by MCC to be asked during the session. The questions will be asked either by the Member directly or the host. MCC will contact the Members whose questions have been chosen in advance to establish their preference and explain the process.

No, the link will take you through to the session. No specific software or login will be required.

MCC Extras Presents is available to Full, Senior and Associate Members.

Most sessions are complimentary to attend. Some sessions may be a ticketed event with a charge to attend or request a voluntary donation. This would be specified in the details of the session.

We have four classes of membership: Full, Senior, Associate and Out-Match. 

Most Members are Full Members (capped by the Club Rules at 18,350).

Full Members have a full range of membership privileges including the ability to attend any cricket match day at Lord's and voting rights at the Club's General Meetings. 

Associate Members have a more limited set of membership privileges, including the ability to attend Lord’s on certain match days (set by the MCC Committee each year). They cannot attend or vote at the Club’s General Meetings.

Senior Members likewise have a limited set membership privileges and benefit from a much lower subscription rate as a result. Their privileges allow them to attend the same match days as Associate Members, but they also retain voting rights at the Club’s General Meetings. Full Members aged 70 or over may apply for Senior membership, which provides an affordable option to allow an individual to retain their membership when they no longer wish to attend the busiest major match days.

You can see a full list of the rights and privileges for each member class online.

Within the Full and Associate membership classes, there are also eight subscription categories. You can see more information on all classes and categories of MCC membership online. 

Your annual subscription is due on the 1 January each year. You must complete your payment by 1 March, after which date, you will incur a 25% surcharge. If payment has not been taken by 1 April and you have not made any attempt to contact the Club in this regard, your membership will automatically lapse. 

The easiest way to make your payment is to set up a direct debit payment scheme. If you have not arranged this automatic form of payment but would like to, you can do so online by logging in to tickets.lords.org and updating your payment method. Alternatively you can continue to pay each year by card. 

See more information about your subscriptions online.

You can see our full list of annual subscriptions online

It is the duty of each Member to determine the appropriate subscription category pertinent to your individual circumstances. If you do not believe that you are correctly categorised, please make a written application to the Club accordingly.

Any change to subscription rates is voted upon by Members at an Annual General Meeting. For example, an increase in rates for 2023 – the first in three years – was approved at the 2022 AGM.

From October 2022, the Club began a new process whereby prospective Candidates need only have one Full Member as a sponsor and that the process has moved largely online. You can nominate someone by filling out this online form. 

Once the form has been correctly completed, a second online form will be sent directly to the prospective Candidate to fill out. Thereafter, a date will be made for an interview with two of the Club’s qualified endorsers who will assess the prospective Candidate’s application and make a view on whether they match our updated criteria, with an emphasis on a demonstrable love of the game. If they are successful, they will be asked to pay an Entrance Fee to join the Waiting List.  

Candidates who enter the Waiting List this year can expect an offer of membership within 29 years. An offer of Associate membership is estimated to be offered after around nine years.

Membership Passes (red for Full Members and yellow for Senior and Associate Members) are despatched to the address we have on file for you before the season begins. Preparations begin in February and we aim to send all Passes by the final week of March. 

If you have not received your Membership Pass by the first week of April, please contact us at membership@mcc.org.uk and we'll investigate this for you. 

Lost/forgotten Passes can be replaced with a Duplicate pass. Please contact the Club Services Department by phone at 020 7432 1010 or by email at clubservices@mcc.org.uk. 

Please note that administrative charges may apply.

Lord's is the only international cricket venue in the world where spectators can bring alcohol into the ground.

For Vitality Blast matches, alcohol may only be brought into Lord's by MCC & Middlesex Members and their guests, as well as Debenture Holders and their guests.

For matches in The Hundred, ticket holders are not permitted to bring in any alcoholic drinks to the Ground (which is a variation to the MCC Ground Regulations). If you are an MCC Member or Debenture Holder you may still bring alcohol into the Ground but please enter via the Grace Gate.

For all other matches, spectator may bring alcoholic drinks into the Ground in one of the following descriptions and quantities:

(i) one bottle of wine or Champagne (max. 750ml); or (ii) two cans/bottles of beer/cider (max. 500ml each); or (iii) two cans of premixed aperitifs (max. 330ml each).

Bottles of spirits or fortified wines will not be allowed into the Ground. Amounts of alcohol in excess of these limits. Under no circumstances will any spectator be re-admitted to the Ground at any time during the day if he or she is in possession of any alcohol.

MCC reserves the right to confiscate any quantity of alcohol from any spectator.

Yes, you can bring your own food into the Ground for all matches.

It is also possible to order, one of our exclusive Made In Oldstead picnic hampers created by Michelin-starred chef Tommy Banks exclusively for the Lord’s. Orders must be made at least 72 hours prior to the match day and you can collect it at the Ground on the day of your visit.

No fancy dress costumes are permitted for spectators at Lord's.

No flags or musical instruments are permitted at Lord's.

We advise against bringing pushchairs along to the Ground on Test Match Days.

You will appreciate that the Ground gets very full indeed, and unfortunately we don’t have any dedicated space for pushchair storage.

However, for minor matches - including Middlesex's County Championship & Royal London Cup fixtures, there is sufficient space around the Ground to accommodate pushchairs.

Every Candidate is nominated in the same way, but a prospective Full Playing/Out-Match Candidate will also be required to fill out a statistics section as part of their application.

To be considered to play for the Club, a prospetive Full Playing/Out-Match Candidate will be asked to provide evidence of their current experience of playing cricket to a good club 1st XI standard. 

A Full Playing Candidate is elected as a Full Member once they have successfully completed their qualifying mathces to the required standard. As a Full Member, they are provided with a red Membership Pass and are able to access all the rights and privileges of Full membership.

Out-Match Candidates qualify for membership in the same way as Full Playing Candidates. The low level of both the Registration Fee to become a Candidate and the Annual Subscription for Out-Match membership reflects the fact that privileges are limited to the Out-Match setting. Out-Match Members play for MCC and are able to wear the Club colours. Once an Out-Match Member has completed five years of membership, they are entitled to apply to transfer to Full membership.

Propose an Out-Match Candidate online now.

Every Candidate is required to pay a Registration Fee before their name is entered into the Club's books.

The Registation Fee is deducted from the Entrance Fee payable once the Candidate is elected as a Full Member of the Club.

Full Playing Candidates are currently required to play 10 matches in two years. Provided they have successfully completed their qualifying matches to the standard required by the relevant Players & Fixtures sub-commitee, thye can expect to be offered Full membership in two yeas.

Out-Match Candidates follow the same timetable as Full Playing Candidates and can therefore expect to be offered Out-Match membership in two years (with the ability to transfer to Full membership after five years).

All other Candidates must wait for membership vacancies to occur to move up the Waiting List. At the current rate, they can expect to be offered Associate membership after approximately nine years.

Associate Members are able to wear the Club colours and enjoy a range of benefits, including the ability to attend selected major match days at Lord's. The current estimated waiting time for Full membership is around 29 years.

No.

The Waiting List is for Full membership, with Candidates being offered Associate membership part-way through the waiting period. All Candidates (including Associate Members) are offered Full memberhsip when their name reaches the top of the Waiting List. If the Club's offer of Full membership is declined, there is no option to continue as an Associate Member or Candidate

Rover tickets admit to the unreserved sections of the Warner Stand, Tavern Stand and, in terms of International match days only, the Lower Tier of the Allen Stand.

In order to prevent overcrowding in individual stands, each member and Rover ticket holder may, on entry to a stand, be issued with a pass which must be presented, together with the Membership Pass or Rover Ticket, on any subsequent re-entry during the day.

Members may reserve seats in these stands prior to play, the precise number of seats (generally no more than four) will be determined on a match-by-match basis and advised to Members in pre-match communications. The Club accepts no responsibility for articles used for this purpose. Seats may also be reserved from 15 minutes before until 30 minutes after the luncheon interval, and during other brief absences not exceeding 10 minutes.

It is not practical to have stewards on hand in all areas throughout the stands, so Members are asked to observe the spirit of fair play.

If they are unreserved Rover Tickets, then your guests can come, however, if they are reserved seats, in the Members’ Friends’ Enclosures then they should be accompanied by you.

Tickets for all match days can be purchased online at https://tickets.lords.org/
 
If you are unable to access tickets online, and depending on availability, tickets can be purchased at the Ground in the Club Services Office, accessible by No. Gate gate on Grove End Rd. For International matches, Vitality Blast matches, Hundred matches and First Class County matches, tickets can also be purchased at the North Gate ticket window on Wellington Place. Please note, these can only be purchased with a credit or debit card, cash will not be accepted.

A ticket can be reissued at the Ground, however this will only be issued to the original purchaser as a replacement for a ticket that has been printed out, deleted irretrievably and then lost, stolen, mislaid or is defective or defaced. 

The latest ticket information can be obtained by visiting https://tickets.lords.org/
