it would depend entirely which match you get tickets for. And as for getting close up, that would depend on how early you book your tickets.
For example, I got two tickets for both sessions of the 2007 WCS final (afternoon & evening) and i applied in early january. I ended up sitting in the front row for one session and the second row for the second. Tickets costed £97.00 per person for both sessions.
There is usually a 14 day time-scale of first booked, first served from when first available and then after that all tickets would be randomly assigned seats. You also have to remember that the player’s friends, family, manager and snooker officials etc (WPBSA board members usually attend the final of the WC) will have priority seating in some cases, so the 1st row will not always be available.
To be honest, when you go to the Crucible, every seat in the house is a good one in my opinion, you are so close to the players and the tables that even in 4th, 5th or 6th row it would seem like 1st or 2nd at most other events.
Pricing doesn’t vary too much each year. Ticket costing per person for each session, is usually;
£10 – £15 1st round & 2nd round (Morning and afternoon sessions)
£15 – £20 1st round & 2nd round (Evening session)
£15 – £20 Quarter finals (Morning & afternoon sessions)
£20 – £25 Quarter finals (Evening session)
£20 – £30 Semi final (All sessions)
£40 – £60 Final (All sessions)
