Your guide to T20 ticketing in 2021

5 Feb 2021

After so long without being able to cheer on the Sharks in person and following a completely sold out T20 campaign in 2019, tickets for this year’s Vitality Blast and Sri Lanka T20 match are going to be in higher demand than ever.

Everyone is hoping that we’ll see capacity crowds at The 1st Central County Ground, but, as we all know, there is still plenty of uncertainty surrounding just how many fans we’ll be able to welcome for each game.

Given this situation, we wanted to make the allocation of tickets for these T20 matches as fair as possible.

To do this, we’ve introduced a system that allocates priority levels for supporters to request tickets based on their loyalty as a Sussex Sharks fan.

It’s important to say that - whatever your priority level - no one will need to pay anything until their ticket request has been successful. We know all too well that these are difficult times for everyone.

To keep things fair, we’re restricting requests to four tickets per customer per match. You’ll only be able to attend matches with members of your household or support bubble and you will be asked to pay for all the tickets you are eventually allocated, so make sure you only request the tickets you definitely want!

Successful ticket applicants will be selected in chronological order, therefore the earlier you request your tickets the more chance you have of seeing the Sharks live this season.

Find out exactly how the priority access system works by watching our handy video guide, or by reading the overview below.

Unfortunately, no Blast Pass season tickets are available this year.

Who has priority access and when?

There are three groups of supporters who will each be given a priority window to request their tickets for Vitality Blast fixtures and the Sri Lanka T20 match
Blast Pass holders who donated their 2020 fee to the club are first up. They will be able to request tickets from 10am on Monday 8th February
Then it’s the turn of 2021 Members who will have access to make ticket requests from 10am on Monday 15th February

The final priority window opens at 10am on Monday 22nd February and is for 2020 Blast Pass holders who requested a refund, anyone who bought a 2020 Membership (regardless of whether they then requested a refund) and anyone who bought a Sussex Sharks Vitality Blast ticket in either 2020 or 2019
Then, from 10am on Monday 1st March, anyone can request a ticket
