Various hospitality options are also available and can be booked through the stadium.

“We are calling on all cricket lovers to come out and support the Proteas and give them the Nelson Mandela Bay welcome they deserve. We are very excited to be hosting 3 international matches this season with a further three allocated to St George’s next summer. By having capacity crowds we send out a clear message that Nelson Mandela Bay and St George’s is ready to continue hosting top international teams.” said Leigh Deyzel, Commercial Manager.
