Michael Vaughan Slams Lord’s Ticket Prices For England-New Zealand Test. Michael Vaughan was upset that the first Test between England and New Zealand was not sold out and blasted Lord’s ticket prices.
Ahead of the first Test between England and New Zealand at Lord’s, which begins on Thursday, former captain Michael Vaughan lamented the fact that not enough tickets were sold, blaming the high prices. “The fact that Lords isn’t full this week is embarrassing for the game. Try to blame the Jubilee if you want, but I guarantee if tickets weren’t £100 – £160 they’d be sold out!!! Why are they so pricey??? “He tweeted about it.

He even had an idea to help fill the stadium even more.
“How about working out a way to get the remaining Lords tickets to kids with a parent for 40 pounds to ensure it is full… it’s the school holidays and lots of kids will be around to go to the Test match?” he tweeted.
