tony159 46 Posted December 4, 2006 As we are rapidly approaching January is there any news yet on if the tickets for Cardiff will be increased ? The original advert stated a ticket price freeze for tickets purchased before December 31st 2006 . This in fact was really an increase as no free programmes were part of the deal as in 2006.

top dog 0 Posted January 1, 2007 I tried to book tickets yesterday for 20 people to be told the only block available was UN2 as the rest of the blocks were either sold out or unavailable.Every year i have trouble in booking tickets in one form or another,yes the tickets have been on sale for months,but like every other year this will not be a sell out even though like everyone else i would like it to be,the organisation of the ticket sales are poor and the price hike every year will only prevent this from happening.Happy New Year to everyone.

Rob B 1,260 Posted January 1, 2007 Most of the tickets have gone up £5. The cheapest tickets have gone up from £29 to £32. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
philcrumpisgod 18 Posted January 2, 2007 I don't know about how much the tickets have gone up as I like to view from different positions each year and consequently the prices are different. What I do think is a bit much though is advertising that there is a price freeze only to find out that this year no programme is included for early bookings. That to me is an extra 7(?) quid which I think is taking the p155!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nevs 4 Posted January 2, 2007 Seems the only place where kids tickets and concessions are now available are on the top tier. Has this been the case all along?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJT 4 Posted January 2, 2007 Ticketmaster have different tickets on offer to the agents used on the official SGP site. The processing fee is more though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gemini 4,894 Posted January 2, 2007 Seems the only place where kids tickets and concessions are now available are on the top tier. Has this been the case all along?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No. I got ours a few days after they went on sale - £13 - on the first bend, middle tier. Very nice thank you.

shazzybird 10 Posted January 2, 2007 Very rude as well SCB, we went there last year didn't find them friendly at all, just intent on selling us the tickets at £40 for each child as well as an adult never again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nevs 4 Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) No. I got ours a few days after they went on sale - £13 - on the first bend, middle tier. Very nice thank you. There are some things to be grateful for when you get old. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thank you Gemini-you have answered my question-Shouldnt have left it so late- But money wise couldn't have done it earlier. Mind you-they messed you around last year with expected dates after you booked your hotel a year in advance so you deserve to get in cheaper anyhow Edited January 3, 2007 by Nevs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
