    thats ridiculous! ..............what nutters would pay that! xxxx They are worth £70 + , the ones in this comp are prime seating xxx

    I agree the price is ridiculous! But If I could find them for £70 I would buy. Problem is that only touts and agencies have them, and they charge over £200 for tickets in rubbish locations at the top corner of the arcade).

    Paula, there is a theatre ticket corner shop near russell square that had a poster in the window saying they had tickets. However, I don't know if tickets are personalised and liable to ID checks at the door. I wouldn't mind taking a £50 risk, but they are charging much mre than that.

    I phoned the organisers of this draw and they assured the tickets are not nominal to any specific person, so entry is assured.

    If you are willing to pay for tickets the best way to try and get hold of them is by entering the public ballot for tickets that takes place every year. I think from about August you can send off your form and the deadline is sometime about Dec for completed entries. It is a fair system as everyone is in for a chance! I managed to get hold of centre court tickets this year fro around £50.00 each so although not cheap you know you are paying face value! Good luck in the comps though!
