Officials have launched a last-ditch push to lure more fans through the gates for the Twenty20 clash with Sri Lanka at Manuka Oval on Thursday night.
Fans can now buy a two-game pass for the Prime Minister's XI and the Australian men's team's Twenty20 clash with Pakistan on November 5.
A ticket to next month's Twenty20 international brings with it a 50 per cent discount on a ticket to watch Peter Siddle and Dan Christian lead the Prime Minister's XI.
It comes as Cricket ACT and Cricket Australia looks to avoid another nightmare turnout with little more than 1500 tickets sold days out from the annual contest.
Officials are hoping to crack 2000 after last year's one-day clash was played in front of a record low of 1824.
MORE CRICKET
"I'm looking forward to it. They've put together a nice side and that's good, it gives us a nice chance of being competitive," Siddle said.
"Hopefully we get the result, you want to win any match, and hopefully that can be the outcome at the end of the day. It should be exciting.
"There's a lot to look forward to, so hopefully another good summer of cricket for Australia."
