The 2027 Ashes Test at Edgbaston: how the ballot worked, which stands suit you, and resale prices for each day.

Updated 5 Nov 2026

Edgbaston, the Birmingham home of Warwickshire (the Bears) and of Birmingham Phoenix in The Hundred, stages the third Rothesay Ashes Test between England and Australia from Thursday 8 July 2027. Tickets are sold by the club at tickets.edgbaston.com, and for this Test they went to members and a free public ballot before any general sale.

The first four days sold out through the ballot. Any returns go first to club members and unsuccessful ballot entrants, and only day five reached the general sale, at £25 in every stand plus a £2.50 booking fee, or £5 for under-16s. Edgbaston also runs its own online ticket exchange.

Resale seats for the 4 Edgbaston dates below start at £318 on Hellotickets (checked 5 Nov 2026).

Next on the calendar: England v Australia - 3rd Rothesay Ashes Test Match - 1 on Thursday 8 July.

The sale ran in a set order. Members of the 1882 Full Club could buy from 3 September, followed by the Next Gen, B5 White Ball, Priority Club, Bears Pass and PHX Pass windows and by buyers of the September 2026 England v Pakistan Test. The free ballot ran from 2 to 29 September, its winners could buy from 1 October, and the general sale opened on 14 October.

Edgbaston stand by stand, and how to get there

Seating plan and stands

Warwickshire played their first match here on 7 June 1886, and the ground has held about 25,000 since the South and West Stands opened in 2011; the new Dennis Amiss Stand, about 3,200 seats, may change the 2027 figure slightly. The two ends sit behind the bowler's arm, while the side stands look across the pitch:

  • South Stand (Pavilion End): the 2011 pavilion with the players' dressing rooms. South Lower gives ground-level views, and seats next to the dressing rooms are sold as Platinum.
  • RES Wyatt Stand (Birmingham End, formerly the City End): a single tier under two rows of executive boxes, which the club calls its traditional cricket lovers' stand.
  • Eric Hollies Stand, side-on along the east side: the party stand, known for fancy dress. On major match days it is 18+ only, and only adult tickets are sold there.
  • Dennis Amiss Stand, opposite it, in front of the new Radisson RED hotel: new for 2027, with alcohol-free blocks 1-3 aimed at families, which the club describes as its best-value tickets.
  • West Stand, between the South Stand and the Dennis Amiss Stand: two tiers, with West Upper sold as good-value seating and panoramic views of the city skyline.
  • Press Box Stand and Stanley Barnes Stand: two tiers each, the Stanley Barnes upper tier being temporary at major matches; the Edgbaston Market food area is behind the Press Box Stand.

For 2027 major matches, the club prices seats in five bands: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Premium. Resale listings use stand names, but a few still say Raglan, a stand that has been demolished; its site is now part of the Dennis Amiss Stand, so read the listing details before paying. Our Edgbaston seating plan maps the stands around the ground.

Getting there

The ground is in Edgbaston, Birmingham B5, and the club advises public transport, as parking is limited and roads may close on major event days.

  • Birmingham New Street is the main rail hub for the ground.
  • 501 shuttle bus: for selected major fixtures it runs from Smallbrook Queensway, near New Street station, starting up to two hours before play, and drops on Priory Road. Return buses leave from the Indoor School after close of play; a day pass costs £6 for adults and £4.50 for children.
  • Moseley Village station is around a 15-20 minute walk away.
  • Driving: for major matches, the Vitality Blast and The Hundred, parking must be booked in advance. The ground is outside Birmingham's Clean Air Zone.

Tickets are held in the Edgbaston app, and the bars and food outlets take cards only; cash is accepted only at the Edgbaston Superstore. Your own food is welcome, but you cannot bring alcohol to international matches, the Vitality Blast, Finals Day or The Hundred, and cans and glass bottles are refused. Bags are searched and the club asks you to avoid bringing one; buggies are not allowed at international matches.

Hospitality

The premium seats are in the South Stand. The Terrace, on its fourth floor, is premium seating with a private bar, and the Tom Dollery Lounge, the members' lounge with first-floor balcony seating, opens to non-members on major match days. Both come with indoor or premium facilities, which count over a full day's play.

The Platinum seats in South Lower, next to the dressing rooms, are a seat category rather than a lounge, with ground-level views from the Pavilion End.
