went on ticketmaster today to buy 4 tickets for the final ,after trying loads of different combinations of price and location the only tickets i was offered was one single ticket in the upper teir

[Tigerbeat]

I believe that Ticket sales on Ticketmaster were stopped and no further tickets would be made available for sale, unless there were returns from Saracens and Tigers.
There may be the odd single seat available through Ticketmaster

[markymark]

if tigers and saracens have 15000 tickets between them where have the other 60000 odd tickets gone and how fair is that ?

they went on general sale if you wanted one then you could have got some. anyway why dont you try some of the other fans forums.

Tickets for the GP Final have been on sale for months, if not all season.

To be sure of tickets you have to buy early. Just as with the HEC final.

Yes indeed. Props to fine poster Blabyboy who shared his two for one ticketstealer code with the boards couple of months ago !

U13 will be a block of Tigers fans straining our eyes to see anything :)

I cannot believe anyone is shocked by the ticket allocation we receive for the final. It's hardly a break from the norm, we have the same 'problem' every year.

A quick look at any of the popular auction sites will show that if you had taken the gamble of buying your tickets early (like a lot of people did) then you'd easily be able to offload them in the (unlikely ) event of us failing to qualify for the final. From what I've seen, there's very few tickets going for face value, so as long as you weren't trying to make money out of it, you'd easily get get your funds back from flogging them.

I've just received an e-mail from Viagogo, they are offering tickets for sale "from" £49.99 & rising to over £280 for the prawn sandwich area on halfway line with wristband access to "exclusive bars".

This crowd of merchants are Tigers trusted ticketing partner and obviously like to turn a modest profit.

Alternatively you could travel down to Tickenham on the day & wait to get approached by one of the many touts that will be shouting from the corner of their mouthes "Tickets - buying & selling"
Not much difference between the two really.

It was never a gamble, more a dead cert.

Don't we go through this same Q&A on here every year at this time?

In typically optimistic fashion, I bought two tickets for the final last August. Due to unforeseen circs, I am not now able to go. The seats are in section L25, row 31(Sect. L25 is on the halfway line, lower East stand) and come with the official Platinum armband - not sure what that does other than guarantee entrance into certain bars inside the ground). I have been onto the ticketmaster and Official Platinum seats two rows in front are now on offer for £150 apiece!

Ticketmaster are also offering a resale service where they will stick a ten percent selling fee on top of the ticket price. Nneither of these options is acceptable as far as I am concerned and I am selling both tickets for £130 which is face value plus theTicketmaster/ admin fee.

PM me if interested.
