The tickets with restricted views for last month's Test against Sri Lanka ranged from 115 to 140 pounds. The match ended on day four with only 9000 spectators in attendance, filling only one third of the stadium capacity.

The home series against India is the second biggest draw after the Ashes involving Australia.

Following the Sri Lanka Test, England's stand-in captain Ollie Pope had expressed surprise at the low crowd turnout.

"It was just like 'jeez, it seems quiet today'," Pope had said.

"I'm not sure if people expected the game to be done by day four or not. It's a shame it wasn't a full house because it was obviously a good day's play." PTI
