    I always go the Quarter Finals, best value if you ask me because you usually got 4 good matches and they are longer format.

    If you go to the first 3 nights its the same price as the final! I find that great value! Might be an option!

    we went to the semis last year. the two matches were a bit one-sided both 5-0.
    but it was a good night. we were sitting dead on half way still a good bit from the stage tho.
    I'm heading to the thursday this year.

    Same thing happened to me last year for the QF and the SF. I wrote to the PDC this morning before I parted with my money. Quick enough reply as well. I ended up getting a couple of season tickets anyway seen as I only live a few mins drive from the place nowadays

    Thanks for your email.

    We have reviewed the method of selling tickets for the Skybet World
    Grand Prix since last year's event. The tables in the front block will
    be for Season Tickets, and standard tickets are then sold from the front
    backwards with the best available seats the first to be sold.

    Kind regards

    Yeah i ordered tickets for Friday, Saturday and Sunday this morning.

    Actually is it the earlier you get there the closer to the stage you'll be or is the seating reserved or numbered or anything?

    Re-edit, just saw in this thread seating is reserved. I was on the phone at 8.50am today booking mine, presume that means my seats should be pretty ok then....??!!

    Howya Scunner, just follow the link below to get the number for the citywest booking line, you can use your laser or credit card to book. i assume that there's still friday night tickets available because they havent posted any sold out notices
