MATCH ADMISSION:
Middlesex members simply need to produce their valid 2025 membership card to gain entry into the ground.
Middlesex members with a valid Season Guest Pass for the 2025 season can use these to bring guests into the ground with them on all four days of this fixture. Please note the conditions of purchase of a Season Guest Pass - they may only be used when entering the ground with the member who has purchased the pass. Admission will not be granted to anyone trying to enter the ground when not in the presence of the member who owns the Season Guest Pass.
Members wishing to buy Guest Tickets or non-members wishing to buy tickets should be aware that all tickets for matches at Lord’s are digital, no paper tickets are issued. Lord’s encourage all purchases to be made online, even on the day. Once you have purchased your tickets, they will be made available via the Lord’s App, or emailed to you in PDF format for you to print at home. A detailed guide on how to purchase tickets for Middlesex matches at Lord's can be seen HERE in our FAQ's section.
NEW TICKET SCANNERS ON NORTH GATE:
There is a new entry process for members and their guests entering Lord’s on match days via the North Gate.
To help speed up the entry process at this gate, MCC has invested in a brand new set of automated turnstiles.
For Members and their guests, this means that from now on you can self-scan your pass or ticket using the scanners provided at the available turnstiles to enter the Ground.
Stewards will be on hand outside of the North Gate to help support this new entry process and deal with any queries you may have as this new process goes live.
If you need to leave the Ground via the North Gate at any point during a match day, then again you can self-scan on departure and re-entry. You will not be required to scan when you leave the Ground for the final time during the day.
Please note that MCC stewards will continue to search spectators and any bags they may have when they enter the Ground on match days.
