Terms and conditions for the sale of major match tickets to all applicants

Warning - Unauthorised Ticket Sales

Genuine tickets for major matches at Lord's are obtainable only from M.C.C. or its authorised agents. The Club hereby gives notice of its policy to identify tickets being illegally re-sold or transferred to unauthorised agents or other third parties. Holders of such tickets, which may be stolen, shall be refused admittance to the Ground or removed from the Ground and interviewed by the Metropolitan Police.

1. RELEVANT TO M.C.C. MEMBERS ONLY: Members remain responsible at all times for the tickets which are allocated to them.
2. RELEVANT TO M.C.C. MEMBERS ONLY: Tickets for the Members' Friends' Enclosures are solely for the use by Members and their guests. Members must make their guests aware of the Dress Regulations which govern entry to and the behaviour of guests in the Members' Friends' Enclosures.
3. RELEVANT TO M.C.C. MEMBERS ONLY: Members are responsible for ensuring that their guests fully understand that all tickets are strictly non-transferable.
4. A ticket must not be re-sold or transferred, save that if more than one ticket is allocated to an applicant, those tickets may be used only by the applicant and the person or persons intending to accompany such applicant to Lord's. An applicant may transfer or re-sell a ticket at face value to a person who intends to accompany him or her, but no person shall re-sell or attempt to re-sell any ticket or tickets for an amount of money greater than the value printed on each ticket. All applicants and the persons intending to accompany them fully understand that their tickets are otherwise strictly non-transferable and that such tickets may not, under any circumstances, be auctioned, offered for sale or re-sale in any manner whatsoever or used in contravention of these Conditions.
5. Any ticket which is allocated to any person shall not be used for commercial hospitality by any person or company trading for that purpose; and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing the holder of such a ticket shall not, as part of a hospitality package or for any other reason, purvey, advertise, auction, or otherwise offer for sale, or use as a competition prize, the ticket or tickets allocated to that person without the written permission of the Acting Secretary & Chief Executive of M.C.C.
6. A duplicate ticket, issued as a replacement for any ticket which has been stolen, lost or temporarily mislaid, will be issued by M.C.C. only on production of a written statement by the person who originally purchased the ticket. If stolen, it is imperative that the theft is reported to the Police in order that a crime number can be allocated. This number is to be quoted on your written statement for duplicate tickets. An administrative charge of 10% of the face value will be made for each duplicate ticket.
7. Any ticket acquired in breach of these Conditions shall be null and void. M.C.C. shall be entitled to confiscate or invalidate any ticket or tickets which are offered for sale or acquired in contravention of these Conditions. All tickets are sold subject to the M.C.C. General Ground Regulations which are hereby incorporated into these Conditions. Additional copies are displayed at all entrances to the Ground, around Lord's and are available from M.C.C. on request to the Acting Secretary & Chief Executive.
8. For major matches, a Refund Scheme applies subject to the provisions of the M.C.C. General Ground Regulations. Full details are also printed on the tickets. Refunds cannot be made in any other circumstances, or for any other match. If the original applicant has to return tickets to M.C.C. the Club will attempt to re-sell such tickets and a charge of 10% of the face value of each ticket will be deducted by M.C.C. from the proceeds of such sales.
   All tickets returned in this manner will not be offered for sale by M.C.C. until all remaining tickets for the relevant day have been issued. Under no circumstances will M.C.C. guarantee the re-sale of any returned tickets.
   It must be noted that tickets may be returned only by the original applicant.
9. The Conditions for the Sale of Tickets constitute the Conditions under which tickets are allocated to all applicants. Any person who fails to comply with these Conditions shall be refused admittance to or ejected from the Ground and will be denied the ability to purchase tickets for future matches at Lord's.

C. Maynard, Acting Secretary and Chief Executive, M.C.C.
