According to spectators, organizers ensured that paid ticket-holders made it to their seats tonight, after hundreds complained about being turned away from the semi-finals on Wednesday.
Qatar will either face off against France or Spain in two day’s time.
Following Sunday’s finals, star performers Kylie Minogue and Taio Cruz will close out the tournament with a concert at the Lusail Hall.
Tickets to the finals can be bought online here and range in price from QR75 to QR500 a seat.
Who’s going? Thoughts?
