Masters 2008 Rip off!

[JaneDoe]

well, if you'd still order online but chose picking them up at the box office, you'd end with the same charges, as 2.75 that Paul mentioned is the same postage costs, just named differently!

if i'd still had to order them online, i wouldn't buy them at all but then i'd end up needing a telescope

i think those sort of prices are a joke for the masters! i used to go every year, and it used to be class but then B&H stopped sponsering it it whent to the dogs a bit, but i went last year and now they have moved it down the road its awfull. its a shell of an areana with no tv's anywhere no decent bar to speak of there is just no atmosphere. they did have a table in the lobby if that makes some sort of cuezone, but it was never uncovered. as for in the playing area it was so small (in comparison to the confrence center), i was at jimmy white v mathew stevens and even when the crowd tried to inject some life into the place it was in vain since the entire place felt more like a hospital waiting room.

the only reason i can think why the prices are so dear is cos its the only event in london, but even then i dont know how dear the tickets were other years.

it sounds to me as if the assosiation have shot themselves in the foot cos the game aint drawing crowds as it is. with one crowd puller (jimmy white) not there coupled with the ticket prices you all mentioned it cant be that good for the game.

this is all just my thoughts, i hope that those of you that do have tickets enjoy yourselves and i hope you get to see some great matches

80 quid a session? Deal!

[Semih_Sayginer]

i think the cost is a little too dear, but nothing to get excited about.

Thats a little bit cheaper than on ebay where the real rip-offs are.

I'll pass at £80 per session - I'd better get my application sent off for Sheffield before you grab all the tickets!

[PaulTheSoave]

Thanks reminding me. Have to send it off tomorrow! Nearly forgot.

To give a positive finish on this one, fortunately the pound has slumped over the last couple of months. So, in euros its at least 10% cheaper now, as seen on my bank statement. . Unfortunately the locals dont have this benefit..

Which days/rounds are everyone going to?

[cap]

Anyone know if there is still tickets available (for the earlier rounds, I guess)? Might fancy popping in for a match or two?

[April madness]

There should be tickets left, probably not the best ones for Ronnie's matches/QFs/semis/final, but still. I am going to be there all days of the tournament.

[kellie-text]

I bet there's tickets left for every session.

I booked tickets for the opening day on friday and although Ronnie's match is near the back, i got a decent seat for the evening. Tickets still left for the final too i think!
