We would suggest that you read these documents before purchasing your tickets. In particular we would also like to highlight the following key areas.

Double Headers

There are a number of Double Header matches during the ICC World Twenty20 2009 and one ticket will be issued per match day.

The semi-finals and final of the men's and women's events will be played at the same venue on the same day. Tickets for these match days will entitle the ticket holder entry to both matches.

Family Stand Tickets

The Family Stand Ticket entitles you to sit in a family-friendly stand where no alcohol will be allowed to be brought into the stand. It will not be possible to purchase tickets in the family stand unless there is an under 16 present within your party.

These seats will be proactively stewarded to ensure a family friendly atmosphere is maintained throughout each match-day.

The designated family stands at each of the men's tournament venues are:

Lord's - The Lower Edrich stand
Trent Bridge - The William Clarke stand
The Oval - Blocks 1-5

Team Seedings and Super Eights

The team seedings were allocated based on performance at the ICC World Twenty20 2007. For full details of these and how the Super Eight Groups will be comprised see the format section
