England will face Australia from Wednesday 8th to Sunday 12th July at the SWALEC Stadium, in a repeat of the 2009 opening match when England's last pair, James Anderson and Monty Panesar, managed to hold out for a famous draw on the final day of a memorable Ashes Test.

Glamorgan Cricket is gearing up for a busy day on Wednesday and extra staff have been employed to ensure that the ticket office can meet demand, although ordering online presents the most efficient method of purchase.

Hugh Morris, Chief Executive of Glamorgan Cricket, said: I am thrilled that we are hosting the first Test of what is sure to be another unforgettable series. England will be keen to regain the urn and I'm sure they'll put up a great fight.

International cricket in Cardiff is always a huge draw and we are expecting Ashes tickets to be in high demand.

Our preparations are well underway for hosting the Ashes Test next year and we have increased our headcount in the Ticket Office team and made investment in our infrastructure to cope with the high level of transactions.

Cardiff is now widely recognised as one of Europe's major event cities and has never been in better shape in terms of visitor facilities. The return of the Ashes to the Wales will provide excellent exposure for the city-region and will provide cricket supporters from Wales, England and Australia with the opportunity to explore the capital city as well as sights around the country.
