A wave of tickets to be at Villa Park when Black Sabbath performs their final ever show have gone on official Ticketmaster sale for 拢86.90 – but there’s a catch.

The latest wave of tickets are for the two sections directly next to the stage, seats that offer no sight of the performers directly but that do have a big screen view.

It’s not ideal for those who want to see Ozzy Osbourne perform alongside Tony Iommi, Bill Ward and Geezer Butler for the last ever time in the flesh, but it does offer a rare chance to experience the atmosphere and hear the live music before anyone else.

The gig will be ‘live streamed’, though on a two hour delay, meaning fans watching around the world will see the action after it happens within the stadium.

The concert sold out back in February within 16 minutes and some 40,000 people are expected to flock to Aston for the supershow.

It includes fans visiting from around the world who now have the chance to be in the stadium to experience the buzz of the live crowd.
