Vitality Blast action returns to Edgbaston this week and the fans are back – but be quick, only 1,000 tickets are left for our Friday night home opener.

It has been 654 days since we welcomed spectators to a Bears game and demand, understandably, has been high for the opening fixture against Lancashire Lightning, 6.30pm start.

There are now fewer than 1,000 tickets left for this match, with the capacity capped at 25% due to the current COVID restrictions, with adult tickets only £19 and under-16s going FREE.

Some big names are potentially available for this clash, with Lancashire boasting world-star Jos Buttler and England batsman Liam Livingstone, while the match will mark the home debut for West Indies superstar Carlos Brathwaite and see the returns of England duo Chris Woakes and Olly Stone.

Edgbaston has put a number of safety procedures in place to make sure your day with us is safe, fun and comfortable. Your experience may be a little different, so make sure you read our spectator information and FAQs.

Tickets are available to buy online at tickets.edgbaston.com or call 0330 551 1994 (9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday).
