Cricket Victoria has missed a potential windfall of several million dollars after the fourth Test at the MCG finished inside three days.
Some 47,000 tickets and a series of hospitality packages had already been purchased for day four.
They will now be refunded by Cricket Victoria, with money returned minus an administration fee of $2.50.
Cricket Victoria's Jason Backhouse says despite missing the massive cash injection, they did not miss out entirely.
"We'll make money on the event. We're pretty close to reaching budget forecast, so overall we're happy with that result," he said.
"We've got to pay a refund, which doesn't really come out of the bottom line.
"I guess its more a case of what could have been. In saying that it's been a fantastic three days with 75,000 fans-plus on all three days, so it'll have been a successful Test."
