5th Test Sydney – Australia v India

SHARE

About

Experience the famous New Years Test and 5th Test in the series at Sydney Cricket Ground, 3-7 January 2025.

The New Years Test at the SCG is one of the annual sporting highlights. Held during the holiday period, when most fans are taking a break, it’s a great excuse to visit the cultural capital of Australia and enjoy a few days or all days of the final Test in the series. The New Years Test is also known as the Pink Test due to it’s association with the McGrath Foundation, turning pink to raise awareness for breast cancer. The atmosphere is always bubbly, great for spin bowlers and is always a sell out event. It could also be the final deciding Test which is not to be missed.

Stay for 3 nights with official Category C tickets to Days 1 and 2, or stay 5 nights with official Category C tickets to Days 1, 2, 3 and 4. Extra nights can be added and the check-in date can be flexible, although we recommend arriving for check-in 2 January to enjoy a free night to get ready for Day 1 action on 3 January but you can check-in 3 January if you have New Years Day commitments.

Optional Category A and B ticket upgrades available.
