 JOHANNESBURG: Cricket South Africa (CSA) acknowledges the frustration experienced by fans who were unable to secure tickets for the upcoming New Year’s Test, scheduled to take place at Newlands Cricket Ground from 03–07 January.  Demand for this year’s New Year’s Test tickets has been unprecedented, highlighting the significance of the fixture within the South African sporting calendar, with the first release of tickets selling out in record time for a Test match in South Africa.  CSA recognises that its communication around ticket availability did not provide the clarity supporters expected and we apologise for the confusion this created. CSA would like to clarify the following:  CSA CEO Pholetsi Moseki said:  “We remain committed to ensuring that ticket access is managed fairly, transparently and in a way that balances supporter demand with the operational requirements of hosting a major international sporting event.  “We equally value the loyal support fans have shown to the Proteas Men as the World Test Champions since their historic victory in June 2025, which all lies at the heart of the game.”  Communication on the availability of the next batch of general access tickets, priced between R420 and R500 per ticket, will be shared timeously.
