A limited number of general access tickets were released for sale yesterday on CSA’s official ticketing website, with all available tickets purchased significantly quicker than anticipated.

As part of CSA’s strategic focus on sustaining and growing South African cricket, CSA, in partnership with Tourvest Destination Management, launched South Africa Cricket Travel in December 2025, aimed at bringing fans closer to the game.
Through this initiative, 12% of all general access tickets were allocated to international travel packages, while 27% were allocated to domestic travel packages.
This aligns with CSA’s broader strategy to stimulate South African sports tourism both internationally and domestically through cricket. The availability of additional general access tickets will be determined once final pitch allocation requirements have been confirmed.
Further details will be communicated as soon as the tickets are released. In a first-of-its-kind offering, General Hospitality packages will be made available through Newlands Stadium. These packages will afford cricket fans the opportunity to enjoy general ticket access combined with a premium hospitality experience.

CSA thanks fans for their support ahead of what promises to be an unforgettable atmosphere at Newlands in January 2027.
The increase in demand for tickets bears testament to the sharp spike in interest for Test cricket post the Proteas Men crowning as ICC World Test Champions for 2025.
