lessons learnt indeed. I'd never heard of anyone struggling for tickets for the final until now, I recall we got an option of a bigger allocation which we took up to cater for demand as well as long ticket office opening hours to make it accessable for people to pick them up,i believe that season was one I did not have a season book and I had no bother atall in getting tickets. As you say though lessons learnt, if you go for a ticket within reasonable time there won't be an issue.
