The Ageas Bowl have been working through the detailed implications of the recent government announcement regarding the extension of coronavirus restrictions to ensure that Hampshire Hawks can safely welcome as many fans as possible to this summer’s Vitality Blast matches.
Following this work, Hampshire Hawks can confirm that 2021 Hampshire Cricket Members and 2021 Vitality Blast Passport Holders are able to attend the first three home Vitality Blast matches (Mon 28th June v Middlesex, Wed 30th June v Surrey, Fri 2nd July v Gloucestershire) at The Ageas Bowl but unfortunately all those Hawks fans who purchased tickets for these fixtures will have to have their tickets refunded due to the capacity restrictions.
All Hawks fans with tickets to the first three home fixtures (Mon 28th June, Wed 30th June & Fri 2nd July) will have their tickets automatically refunded on or before Friday 23rd July.
Members' Guest tickets (if applied for by 2021 Hampshire Cricket Members) are sent out as e-tickets to the Hampshire Member's email address, whilst Vitality Blast Passport holders will receive their e-tickets via email also 48-72 hours prior to each match.
Digital tickets can also be accessed on your mobile device via the Hampshire Cricket App, free to download on iOS & Android devices. Follow the links above for more information.
