Your Ashes Ticket & Travel Questions

What is ‘The Ashes’?

The Ashes refers to a series of cricket test matches played between England and Australia. When England first lost a test match to Australia back in 1882, it was said to be the “Death of English cricket”, and that the “Ashes of English Cricket would be taken to Australia”. The battle for the Ashes has been fiercely contested ever since.

The famous Ashes urn was presented to the English captain some years later after a number of test wins – it was supposed to contain the ashes of a burnt cricket bail. A Waterford Crystal replica of the urn is now presented to the winning team after each Ashes series.

Who are Freedom Destinations?

Freedom Destinations are an ABTA and ATOL bonded tour operator in the UK that has been organising holidays to Australia for more than 25 years. We were an Official Licensed Travel Operator for the 2025/26 NRMA Insurance Ashes Series, as well as England’s three previous Ashes tours to Australia.

Do I need a visa to travel to Australia?

All travellers who are not Australian citizens need to obtain a valid visa or authority to enter Australia. British citizens can apply for an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) or eVisitor Visa online. Up to date entry requirements can be found on the UK government website.

Will I have to travel in a group?

All Freedom Destinations cricket holidays are created bespoke to individual needs and requirements. Everyone can travel independently around Australia, we don’t require our customers to join, or travel, as a group.

Can I just purchase Ashes tickets from you?

For the 2029/30 Ashes, we’ll be offering ticket and hotel packages, as well as complete holidays based around the cricket. We’ll also be able to arrange flights, hotels, car rental, train tickets, tours and day excursions for you.

Can I just purchase tickets for one or two days of a Test Match?

Like the 150th Anniversary Test Match at the MCG in March 2027, it is expected that two and five-day ticket packages will be available.

Can I choose where I sit within the ground?

Yes. Subject to availability you will be able to choose from various areas around the stadium. Usually you will have the choice of square of the wicket or behind the bowlers arm, as well as towards the front or near the back of the stand.

Will my cricket holiday be ATOL protected?

All holidays, that include international flights, booked through Freedom Destinations will be financially protected by our ATOL bond.
