Durham County Cricket Club Director of Marketing, Mark Foster, said, “India was always going to be a huge draw for sports fans in the region. They have been playing brilliant cricket and it’s not surprising that so many people want to see them in action against England on their own doorstep.
“The phones in the Box Office have been ringing nonstop and the staff have been working incredibly hard to ensure people get served as quickly as possible. The fact that we’re offering all tickets at just £45 for adults and £10 for juniors until April has seen people who wouldn’t normally come along to the cricket rush to buy their tickets in advance to guarantee their place at what promises to be an outstanding day of international sport.”
