The tickets are selling like hotcakes, Peple who arrived at 9am waited 6 hrs, phone lines jammed. After the allocation of 2 per member they'll be none left, do they even have enough for two per member?
There is enough for two per member. The Tigers allocation is between 23,000 and 24,000.
It was reported to me (I didn't queue today) that the lady in charge of the ticket office - Jean - said she thought that Toulouse would return 2,000 or more of their 8,000.
No need to sweat it yet.
There will probably be some available via this NG as well
Cheers, TJ

I have my tickets for the final. I have a sneaky suspicion that any Tigers fans there might be at a loose end. Then again I hope not; an Edinburgh full of Frogs won't be much fun. Maybe I'll have to brush up on my franglais over the next couple of weeks. -- Pete Devlin [{//////news03//////at\\\\\secondrow/////co\\\\\uk}] "Mind the oranges Marlon!"

I thought I was being clever getting the missus to phone up whilst I was at work. That has backfired big time, and I am now in the doghouse. Never mind, tomorrow is another day.

Full? I doubt if more than 10,000 would make the trip for an all french final. Given the enthusiasm the scots showed for the HC early rounds (an average gate of a few thousand) it would be a financial disaster if it was all french. Given the enthusiasm of the Leicester faithful, MJ and NB making their last appearance leicester could sell 30,000 tickets if they got there.

It's getting kind of hard to get a ticket just now so somebody is buying them! There's some left but you have to do a bit of clicking to find them. -- Pete Devlin [{//////news03//////at\\\\\secondrow/////co\\\\\uk}] "Mind the oranges Marlon!"

A friend went down at 3:30 today and was back in an hour so there was a lot of panic on monday which has died down. Either that or most of the allocation has gone! I think it's just the £20 ones left.

Not when you can't get to the ground and rely on phone...

Sure is only £20 tickets left. All praise to the missus who eventually rang up reception this morning, ran a (true) yarn about how she'd suffer huge mental cruelty if I didn't get a ticket, and wouldn't go off line until she got put through to the ticket office direct.
There 548,000 calls logged on Monday apparently. Mostly people getting engaged and pressing redial like a zombie, of course. I must have done 500 or 1000 myself just in the evenings. To be fair to the ticket office, I sent an email yesterday evening which was answered by a phone call home, but missus had already got the goods.
A complete organisational nightmare. Never mind, a bit of grief getting tickets adds to the build-up (as long as you do get a ticket of course).
