Desperate supporters will have a chance to get their hands on treasured Ashes tickets from Wednesday when more than 26,000 tickets for the five Tests go on general sale, Cricket Australia said on Monday.

Tickets returned by stakeholders such as the England and Wales Cricket Board and the home states went on sale to Australian Cricket Family (ACF) members last week, and thousands remained unsold for the much-anticipated renewal of battle between England and Australia.

There are more than 6,000 tickets up for grabs for days three, four and five of the series opener at the Gabba in Brisbane from Nov. 23 while almost 20,000 seats are still to be sold for the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

"We were able to reward ACF members with the first opportunity to buy these re-released tickets and are now pleased to extend this offer to the general public," CA chief executive James Sutherland said in a statement.

"I urge all Australian fans to get in fast and secure the tickets of their choice while they are still available," Sutherland said.

There are also 1,600 tickets available for the only Twenty/20 fixture between the two teams at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Jan 9.
