Semi finals. If O'Sullivan is out early I may get tickets for the final as there will be returns.

Has anyone got their tickets yet? My bank statements show no money taken yet. I thought it was supposed to be happening on 14th January?

Re: ROLL CALL

Postby Alex0paul

It won't come out until early February so maybe in the next week.

Re: ROLL CALL

I will be losing my World Championship virginity. Heading to Sheffield on the 16th, going to matches on Saturday 17th, Sunday 18th <cool>

I haven't got my tickets either, it said on the booking form within 28 days after the 14th...so less than two weeks to wait :excited: :excited:

According to World Snooker the money should have come out of your account by today. If not then you have been unsuccessful. This means I have been unsuccessful and have got no tickets at all ffs. I wonder if there are any on ebay.

Theres only 970 seats and probably 3 times as many people want one.

Sorry to hear that Alex, ebay for sure but they will be expensive. The money has been taken from my account, I really hope i got tickets for the Hendry match. I don't expect to much trouble with the Allen tickets, I assume they are in the post?

Re: ROLL CALL

Postby Alex0paul

The only good thing about ebay tickets is that they are usually great views. I was lucky last year as I was missing a few sessions that smart had a couple of extra tickets. Its not fair! lol

Re: ROLL CALL

Postby Roland

I've had no money taken from my account either :grrr:

But there's always ebay and returns. The annoying thing for me being a Selby and Williams fan is that I'm competing with Hendry and O'Sullivan fans for tickets to the same match.

I applied to quite a few different sessions though so I'm surprised I didn't get any of them.

Re: ROLL CALL

Postby Casey

It will probably take them a couple of days to take the money from everybody's account. With the Selby match, do you not get first preference? Then anybody applying for the Hendry match would only get Selby tickets if it wasn't sold out?

I am going to four opening matches in the first three days, but to be honest I've forgotten who I have asked for. <doh>

Joe Perry was one of them, I am pretty sure I ordered John Higgins tickets. Not sure about the other two matches. Obviously people I care about a lot. <laugh>

When was your cheque cashed? I've still heard buck all on mine :grrr:

Re: ROLL CALL

Mine started to go through on Monday although it didn't show up on my statment. Still waiting on tickets.

Re: ROLL CALL

Postby Casey

Can anybody recommend some accommodation? Its probably best to reserve a room before everybody gets their tickets, might be difficult after that. Thanks in advance <ok>

The Novotel is nice enough & is where most of the players stay. Around the corner, literally, is the Cutler's hotel. Not up too much, clean enough & not as pricey & has a roof. :)

Re: ROLL CALL

Postby Casey

Cheers John I will check it out

Edit -

Had a wee look at it and its on the tad expensive side, near £400 for three nights double room :huh:

Casey - I'm in the Novotel for 3 nights. :ahh:

If you ring up and pay in advance you get a discount. That is what I did. The guy on reservations is called Jerome and is French I think. Breakfast is included in the price and is great. Rooms are plush and the bar is nice but expensive. Swimming pool is cool after breakfast for a quick dip prior to the 10am snooker start. <ok>
