Cheap World Cup tickets for the Oval
As the redeveloped Adelaide Oval welcomed its first crowd to a cricket match this morning, the cricketing public was given another bonus – cheap tickets to the 2015 cricket World Cup.
The Oval was the centre of attention this morning, with Premier Jay Weatherill tossing the coin for the first match on the Oval’s new surface – a Sheffield Shield contest between South Australia and Western Australia.
Just after lunch, a very healthy crowd of about 3000 people had entered the Oval for their first peak at the new set-up.
