Prices for the eagerly awaited clash remain the same as they were for the historic first ODIin 2006, with an adult ticket priced at £35. That game proved to be a memorable occasion with an 8000 sell-out crowd providing a unique sporting atmosphere.
Cricket Ireland Chief Executive Warren Deutrom commented, “A visit from England is special, but this is even more the case in an Ashes year. In fact, with England having finished its Ashes campaign just three days previously, this is arguably the biggest single sporting event to take place in Northern Ireland this year.”
“We would love for the Northern Irish public to turn out in the same numbers it did when it filled Stormont three years ago for England’s first visit. We have kept adult prices at those same levels, have reduced children’s prices and have reductions for OAPs as well. We’d be very hopeful of a sell-out.”
RSA's Chief Executive Philip Smith said, "As sponsor of the National Cricket Teams RSA Insurance is delighted to be associated with the Ireland vs. England One Day International fixture at Stormont. We know that both teams will rise to the occasion and do both countries proud with their respective performances. We're looking forward to the match with huge excitement and anticipation."
Ireland captain William Porterfield urged fans to support the team saying, “The last time England came to Stormont there was a massive turnout, and hopefully August will be no different, and we hope to put on a real show for all the Irish fans.”
