Each ticket sold will feature a photograph of the person in whose name it is registered and will be non-transferable.

Alternatively, tickets can be reserved at a cost of £50 per ticket. The balance must be paid by Sunday 1st February 2009. With both these options, the number of tickets available per transaction for registered customers is now unlimited - as long as each purchase (or deposit) is matched with valid registration numbers.
