If its £165 for the Hollies, you're looking at £200 for top tier seats.
Where did you see this ?
It was in a corporate mail out. Trent Bridge published their prices today. Most seats are £155.
So its not £165 in the Hollies then? Im confused.
I should have been clear: £165 for Edgbaston. For comparison it's £155 at Trent Bridge.
I hope these prices are for packages including some food and drink. If not, I'm going to be missing an Edgbaston Test for the first time for over 30 years.
Just shows how much I know! Ashes prices out today ranging from £115 to £180, the Hollies coming in at £165. All plus a £2.50 booking fee, of course.
Members getting 20% off for the next couple of weeks will mean I'll turn up for a couple of days.
Anyone know if details of the reciprocal arrangements have been released yet? Or what clubs we had reciprocal arrangements with this season?

Regarding Ashes tickets, the Telegraph bemoans the price increase:
"In the Hollies Stand, it is £165, up 43 per cent from £115 for the corresponding fixture four years ago. On top of this, every ticket carries a £2.50 booking fee."
Michael Vaughan has had his say too: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/articles/ce87v9ljl8no
I paid a total of about £190 for all four days of the Gabba Ashes test last year. I know the ground is a lot bigger, but still…it’s basically the same price for just one day at Edgbaston next year.
Like all top sports very soon the only spectators will be corporate invites. Rugby,Football, Tennis all charging too much so the top players can be paid too much.
Interesting that the price hike was mentioned on the BBC news (Radio 2 at least)
