Here are the home T20 fixtures (and RLC) for 2021.  |

The Blast fixtures are so close to each other, I'd assume there's not much optimism that they'll be selling tickets for them. Let's hope for a top class streaming service.

£30 per ticket is extortion. It is not football! £210 for 7 matches compared with £75 is a 180% increase.

I had my final reminder to get tickets at the weekend. After some hesitation, I decided not to purchase. From memory, a Blast Pass was around £100. I decided not to part with £240 (if you include the Sri Lanka game) for several reasons: - I am not a huge fan of T20 - 3 or 4 games per year are enough. 3 or 4 games for £100 is OK but 3 or 4 games for £240 is a lot.
- I tend to pick the better games and prefer Friday nights.
- I go to T20 mainly because we have a decent side that has half a chance of progressing. If we lost our first three games, my interest would fade.
- If I do attend, it is often a late decision.
- I thought about booking the Sri Lanka game but then thought we might field a reserve team.
- I expect that there will be restrictions in June which might mean a seat I don't want on an inconvenient day against opposition I don't care about
Maybe, expectations are very low and only a small crowd of a few hundred is expected. In this case, good luck to those who love their T20 more than me and can get a ticket. I suppose I don't see the benefit of selling tickets at this stage unless getting some money in is the priority.
Curiously, I accept, I mainly go to T20 games to see Sussex win (if you see what I mean) whereas I can enjoy CC and RLODC games regardless of the result (unless we get slaughtered).
Anyone have any feedback on sales? Or, is it just me that is less than excited?

It was £75 for a blast pass which equates to £10.71 per game so £30 represents an increase of 180%! sussexcricket.co.uk/news/membership-and-blast-pass-sale-now-prices-frozen-third-year-running |
