I've gone for block 551 up in the gods, same as for the semi, on the basis that I don't want to risk changing a winning team...

Sorted my ticket too.  Block 133 right in the middle behind the goal.  Wanted block 125 again, so disappointed not be going back there.

Just hope we have a decent view and aren't placed too low down.


I was in there for the semi. It's to the left of the goal as you're looking and I had a great view.

We were in block 133 as well. Yeah, it was a decent view.

BTW, when booking online you can select a block, but NOT a specific seat

I did know this but thanks again anyway - do you know if you get any more choice (e.g. rows) on the phone?

No.
I phoned ahead yesterday and asked exactly this - they can only tell us block, not row or seat number.

Out of interest, how much did you pay?

I would look but because I don't fit the criteria yet, I can't see online how much is what.

With the lower allocation I doubt we have block 125 this time.

We were in block  134, row 20 and the view was awsome.

Cat 1 has gone from £63 to £120 for the final! Cat 2 from £53 to £90. Robbing bastards.

Do we know the reason why specific seats can't be purchased (either online or over the phone) ?

Is there ANY other event, where a customer would pay between £70-£120 for a ticket, and not have the ability to choose a seat.
The fact that we can't and just accept without question it is madness, pure madness.
I guess supply and demand is a wonderful thing to some.
