"priced out of" = prevented from attending because the ticket price was more than they could afford.

Thank you Mr. Wordy and Dave Phillip. I got it.

@Dave Phillips
In fact I'm also very happy that England won as I'm also a fan of some players in England team like Collingwood, Peterson.

You're Welcome.

I am a member of Surrey Cricket Club so you get to go the Oval everytime England play. Spent all 4 days when we won the Ashes there.

I will watch the IPL with you again next year also and answer your posts on that.
