As is the case with IT20 tickets, ODI games can be pricey due to the fact that players involved are generally considered to be some of the best and most recognizable in cricket. In 2022, the average price of a ticket for England’s ODI with India at Lord’s was as high as £120, however, outside of the Capital, the average ODI ticket was closer to £65. Elsewhere, Women’s ODI matches continue to offer great value, with an average ticket costing around £15.
While ODI matches can sometimes command high prices, most games last around 7/8 hours, meaning fans generally see the format as good value for money. For the best deals on ODI tickets, visit Koobit, where you can compare prices and purchase tickets from a wide range of suppliers.
ODI tickets can sometimes be bought at the box office of some cricket stadiums, however, due to the popular nature of the format, it is recommended that you secure your tickets online before the live event. Along with added peace of mind, purchasing tickets with Koobit means you can compare prices from a range of sellers and resellers, filter results, and view seating areas, all in the name of finding the best seats for you.
Women’s ODI matches offer some of the format’s cheapest tickets. With adult seats usually available for around £15, and junior tickets on offer for £5 or less, taking in a women’s ODI game is one of the best value ways to see the world’s top players in action.
For men’s ODI games, the cheapest seats are usually located in areas where you have a “side-on” view of the game, as opposed to a view from behind the bowler’s arm. Other good value options include standing-only areas, and seats towards the very top/very bottom of the venue.
As the name suggests, One Day International cricket is only played by international sides. The International Cricket Council (ICC) oversees all games, as well as the process surrounding which teams can compete.
As of 2022, there are 12 teams with full ODI status. This list consists of the game’s biggest names, such as England, Australia, India, South Africa, and New Zealand.
In addition to the teams with full One Day International cricket status, the ICC grants 8 sides “Associate” membership based on their performance in the quadrennial ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier competition. At present, Associate ICC members with ODI status include Oman, Scotland, and the Netherlands.
The following teams have played the most ODI matches in total:
Some cricket stadiums offer parking for visitors, however, even newer venues like Perth Stadium sometimes have no onsite parking facilities on event days. This means that it is always better to check online for parking in advance.
Parking passes can often be purchased before the date of ODI matches, ensuring your journey is as stress-free as possible. Detailed information on the best ways to travel to an ODI can be found on the relevant event’s Travel & Parking tab on Koobit.
From Emirates Old Trafford to Sydney Cricket Ground, the Adelaide Oval to Lord’s, major cricket stadiums are located in central areas of some of the world’s most-visited towns and cities, meaning accommodation is usually plentiful.
