The Boxing Day Test is a day that reflects all the traditions and history that give cricket its special place in Australia's sporting heart. Families flock to the MCG on December 26th as part of their Christmas festivities, to see Australia's Test side taking on whichever foreign side is touring that summer. Crowds on this one day often outnumber those attending the entire duration of other Test matches in Brisbane, Perth, Sydney, Adelaide and Hobart. If you are in Melbourne at this time of year, try to get a ticket. Admission: Adults approximately AUD18 to AUD22. Discounts for children, students and families.
