World Snooker Championship 2022

You can definitely tell they're Ronnie's kids. Strong eyebrow DNA.

What makes that bloke think that the witticism he wants to bellow out is more important than the interview with the player?

 

Anyway, bravo.

Didn’t expect him to burst into tears, meanwhile the growth spurt of his son, bloody hell 😳

 

The highlight of that final session though, was front row rivals, front row Brian & Yellow collar having to be separated.

I'm not familiar with yellow collar, must look out for him next year. Has the woman with the pearl necklace been spotted this year? Havent seen her in a while.

Yellow collar(other colours were worn) has been in front row Brian’s usual seat for the majority of the Championship, the guy must be bloody minted.

 

Woman with the pearl necklace nowhere to be seen this year.

 

Yellow collar, plus the guy below were the new front row legends this year.

Well done Ronnie. Awkwardly long embrace going on though 

Yep, thought that too...

How much for a front row seat in the final you reckon?

I was out last night so didn't see the conclusion, but I heard the start of the O'Sullivan interview where one of his supporters shouts "Gwon Ronnie" at the top of his voice as the man's about to speak. Why? He's supposedly the one you admire so much, why are you shouting over him? Although that's the attitude O'Sullivan himself lives by of say and do what you want and who gives a ****, so maybe shouldn't be shocked his fans do the same.

Seems they’ve yet again changed their packages for next year, first two rows are now classed as “Century Club”.

 

£660 for the final.

 

A standard ticket is £143.

Blimey!!!!

 

When you say standard is that for the final?

What's an average for a non final round?

Yep, standard for the final.

 

Standard for R1 is £44.

 

First five rows are now classed as Century Club or Premium.

 

The days of me getting to sit in Row B for £30 are long gone

It's one of my really good friends 40th birthday next year, and seeing one of our shared interests is the snooker I would really like to get us tickets for the crucible. Any tips on how best to go about doing this? I think I would find it really annoying if I were there during the two table set up, if we were the wrong side of the screen to see a player I really liked, so think perhaps would prefer the later stages when they are down to the one table, but at the same time I don't want to spend a fortune!

So glad he tied Hendry's record.

 

Surprised to see Ronnie so emotional, never seen him like that before, despite him dismissing winning titles it clearly still means a lot to him.

Yep, think he likes to play it all down, but he knows he is the Greatest.

Goid to see his kids there too..his lad has changed from the spectacle  wearing kid to what he looks like now!

Winder if hes a snooker player?

Imagine having them genes.

But what pressure too, perhaps it;s best to take up something else.

Apart from Judd, Jack L and the Chinese lads do you think there are many prospects among the younger players that will topple the near 40 plus generation.

Judds the only one I think with the ba11s, match play mindset and personality  to be consistent.

Cant are Selby doing anything at the Worlds with his mindset.

Chinese lads need to win the smaller tournaments  consistently  before wi ning this marathon

Tickets already on sale from yesterday. As I said to Raj above though, the stingy sods have changed their pricing strategy in recent years, all depends if you want to go all out for one day and go for Century Club or Premium. 
 

If you go standard, then more may come on sale nearer the time, probably around March next year. 
 

The further back you sit, I’d advise to sit behind the table instead of at the side(Even better if you do opt to go when it’s two table set up)

 

If you go all out for Century Club or Premium, you should be alright with any of the first four rows.

 

Hope this helps

Yes you can choose your seats so if still at two tables you can go in line with the partition and far enough back that you can see both tables. 

 

The WST app (World Snooker Tour) is also very good and you can buy tickets through there too.

Brecel always looks decent but he’s not quite fully stepped up as he should’ve. Vafaei will get better with big tournament experience too. Jackson Page looked decent and young O’Connor from Leicester will be up there too.

Yeah its a tough paper round in Iran in the 21st century. 

[isaidno]

£44 for a first round ticket is ridiculous.  It was £12 last time I went. 

[Raj]

Might try the Leicester  tournament  which Ronnie loves so much!!!

Bet that's only a few quid to get in!

It is worth going, but I’m sure it was the tournament Ronnie missed
