As the official travel operator for the Vodafone Ashes Series 2010-11, the Cricket Australia Travel Office (CATO) takes the stress out of finding accommodation packages which are inclusive of guaranteed match tickets. No hassles or concerns about securing tickets, ours come direct from Cricket Australia to you.
The Cricket Australia Travel Office has appointed a selection of official Licensed Travel Operators based in the UK, to assist with travel arrangements to Australia. These Operators have been licensed to promote and sell travel packages inclusive of guaranteed match tickets and accommodation. Click here for a list of official UK Licensed Travel Operators.
Each Cricket Australia Travel Office Licensed Travel Operator has access to guaranteed match tickets, and will display a CATO licence number on all promotional collateral. Click here for a list of official UK Licensed Travel Operators.
We have become aware that a number of travel operators in the UK are purportedly promoting the inclusion of match tickets in their travel packages without having authorised or legitimate access to such tickets. England supporters contemplating travelling to Australia for the Vodafone Ashes Series 2010-11 should be aware that only CATO licensed travel operators in the UK (those who display a CATO licence number on their advertising material or website) have legitimate access to match tickets.
If you have any doubt in relation to the authenticity of a travel package or whether a travel operator is officially licensed by CATO, please contact CATO.
Tickets purchased via unauthorised agents may be subject to cancellation.
