^ Tuosta tuli mieleen, että parin tämän videon kommentin perusteella vuoden 1999 viisuissa oli viimeistä kertaa koskaan kilpailleiden maiden delegaatioista koostunut kutsuvierasyleisö, eli lippuja tavallisille ihmisille ja viisufaneille ei ollut myynnissä:
Catherine Pearson kirjoitti:As for your comment about the audience and it’s contrast from Birmingham: I read somewhere (I can’t remember where, though) that they were all delegates from the competing entrants, with no tickets going on public sale. Thankfully, this did not continue into the new millennium.

Of course, there were security concerns so I can understand why they didn't open it up to wider ticketing, or perhaps the IBA weren't used to organising that side of things.
