The West Indies Cricket Board has announced ticket prices for the two
Twenty20 International matches to be played against New Zealand on June
30 and July 1 in Florida. Reserved chairback seats at the Central
Broward Regional Park in Lauderhill will cost $30 while general
admission tickets to sit or stand on the grass embankment will cost $20.
The
prices are in similar range to the cost of tickets for the pair of
Twenty20 matches two years ago at the same venue between New Zealand and
Sri Lanka. The prices at that event, The Pearls Cup, were $35 for
reserved and $22 for general admission for the first match which took
place on a Saturday while Sunday ticket prices were $27 for reserved and
$17 for general admission. A total combined attendance figure of 8,600
across two days wound up being the turnout.

Lauderhill, Florida, is the venue which will host two Twenty20
Internationals between New Zealand and the West Indies on June 30 and
July 1.
The WICB release stated that tickets will go on sale two weeks prior
to the first match at each venue for the New Zealand tour. In addition
to the two Twenty20s in Florida, New Zealand and the West Indies are
scheduled to play five ODIs beginning on July 5 – two in Jamaica and
three in St. Kitts – followed by two Test matches. The first Test will
be in Antigua from July 25-29 before returning to Jamaica for the second
from August 2-6.
