That's great that you are going again Hawkeye. Last year's first semi-final session was a cracker, wasn't it ;)? Wish I could go this year but not able to for a whole host of reasons. I'm sure you will have a great time.:)
Sadly, not able to go this year but will be glued to the TV screen - not quite the same though!
So far I only have a pair of 1st sunday afternoon tickets delivered to my door a few days ago (really hope Andy plays then). May get more closer to the timw and/or watch practises

I am going to all sessions with exception of final and have received all tickets in 3 different deliveries.
David Ferrer officially qualified today.

yes, good comeback against the Mosquitto though he may have been worried for a little while.
My Ticketmaster bought ticket arrived today (evening SF), still waiting for the other 2!And now my ticket for the final has arrived. Just the first SF to go!

The Atp site is linking to Viagogo for the last few days where they are obviously more expensive and singles are not always available. Wonder if any more will be released on Ticketmaster.
I'm sure it was about this time of year last year that they released more tickets on Ticketmaster, and I got tickets for the semis. Still hoping for this year (I don't have any tickets yet).
The Atp site is linking to Viagogo for the last few days where they are obviously more expensive and singles are not always available. Wonder if any more will be released on Ticketmaster.The one I'm waiting for is from Viagogo. Get Me In were ridiculously expensive this year.
I know its impossible to predict with accuracy but what time would people expect an evening session to end? If I was to go to one and get back to Loughborough around midnight I would have to catch a tube train from North Greenwich by 9:30. My assumption is I'd probably miss the end of the singles with that so its not worth doing an evening. Does that sound right?
Speedy Hawk

I got mine. :yahoo: I am going all day November 26th.
yes.
Thought so and I suspect Andy is more likely to be on an evening mid week and the Sunday afternoon is all sold out then its not worth me trying to do anything now at least till the draw is out and maybe my assumptions of when Andy would play may turn out to be wrong.

I am going, will be my third year and completes an epic year of tournaments for me. Going Sunday evening and Monday afternoon again. Really looking forward to it, just hope not the Fish, lol!

Not going this year unfortunately. Went couple of years ago and had a brilliant time. Wasn't lucky enough to see Andy but enjoyed it anyway. It's a brilliant atmosphere.

Lucky to go first year thanks to Vixs. Was like a demented dervish watching Davy beat Fed in the semi. Last year won a comp and it was for Andy's match against Ferrer, middle of the week. Again a demented dervish watching Andy win. This year no chance unless win a comp. November a bad time time for pensioners!!!!!:crying:
Went on the Monday afternoon last year and loved it. Didn't see Andy but watched Novak beat Berdych and, even though he won, we thought how mediocre he looked - what a difference a year makes! Luckily last year's event co-incided with daughter number 1, who lives in London, giving birth to grandson number 2 so we had an excuse to make the journey. Since then we've acquired a very lively labrador pup so no chance of repeating the visit this year! :crying: Make the effort to go if you can - you're assured of a good match whoever you see.
I will be going along - the first 3 days.
In terms of finish times for each evening, they did make the evening start time earlier last year, didn't they? My tickets say 6:15 - presumably when doors open?
Doubles on by 6:30pm, singles on by 8pm, finished by 10:30 at latest - does that sound about right/ reasonable?

Hi Super8! You'd expect that, but of course there can be long matches which would extend the night session a bit longer.

Two days ago Mum gave me very nasty shock! Cos she told me Dad away abroad and back on 27th when he suppose be with me on 26th and it in her diary and her diary is almost always right. I panic cos got no one else go with and thankfully Mum was wrong this time, Dad go away week earlier than Mum thought so he defo be back long before 26th. Phew!
I am going on the first sunday afternoon as well as tuesday afternoon
Can't wait
I am updating the first post to put down the names of who is going when so we can keep an eye out for each other if we wish ;) So please post on this thread if you are coming to the O2 and which day and session! Thanks :)

Thanks very much, will do :cheer: I also have tix for Sunday night so get some more Rafa action, very jammy this year I think. I checked my tix as I get one lot high up and one lower down and pleased to see I got the lower ones for the Monday. Never seen Andy at the O2 so this will be a massive bonus :yahoo:

15-11-2011, 21:44
Take it like me you will be cheering for the Fish Linda? Lol Lol
Hahaha I can't imagine that Fish will have many people cheering for him! Although two years ago I thought that about Sod, but found myself sitting next to a couple of his fans!
Wasn't too happy about the fact that Andy wasn't playing on tuesday so got a ticket for monday afternoon for when he's playing

To everyone that's going to the O2, have an amazing time!!! I was so privileged to be there for semi final day last year and saw that cracker of a match between Andy & Rafa. An unbelievable experience and one I shall never forget.

You weren't on 'Countdown' a few weeks ago were you GL? One of the contestants was an avid tennis/Andy fan and said that the best match she had ever had the privelege of witnessing was the Andy/Rafa match at the 02 last year!

No that wasn't me Alis, I'm not clever enough to be on Countdown :rolling:. A friend of mine appeared on the show a couple of years back, he had just graduated with a degree in linguistics and was up against a real 'brain'...he got convincingly beat.
And now my ticket for the final has arrived. Just the first SF to go!First semi ticket due to arrive tomorrow, I was starting to worry!

Hi folks..am pretty excited tonight. Went on twitter which I don't do every day and there was someone offering a ticket for Monday day session...Andy v Ferrer. Husband was out on what he calls "Little boys night out" and what I term "Old Codgers' get together." I got in touch, sorted everything then rang him.:) His response was "Yeah, think we can manage that":worship: So I'm off to the 02 on Monday. Absolutely thrilled. Saw Andy beat David last year so hope for same result. It's so funny how I get tickets. First year bought tickets from Vixs who had another engagement so saw both semis. Last year won a comp and was informed on the day...that was frenetic. And this year twitter has come up trumps. I'm a very happy lady tonight and look forward to seeing other fans from here. Going to get an early train hopefully and will be going home same day. :cheer::cheer::cheer:

Also saw Andy beat Daveed (quite comfortably) last year but can't make it this time unfortunately. Hoping to skive off work on Monday afternoon to see it on TV instead. Delighted for you Supergran and have a great day. Going to be at the O2 in my mind this week - wishing a great time to be had by everyone with a ticket - and every success to Andy.

Booked train this morning. Travelling Monday was so expensive so going tomorrow and staying overnight. This will, of course, be far better - not being far from the 02 on Monday morning. Husband decided he would accompany me. He did last year. He seems to think I need protection in London in November. Bless him!
Pleased that you have got it all sorted out Maureen & also that hubby is going with you:thumbup:

My sister (flying down from Aberdeen) and I (flying over from Vienna) have tickets for both sessions on Saturday and the final on Sunday. Wee sis was out getting "Go Andy!" t-shirts printed today. We were there last year for Andy's match against Rafa and are daring to hope for something equally exciting this year. Not prepared to imagine he wont make it through the RR. ;) We will try and get tickets for Friday too, once we know which session Andy's playing in. It's only once a year after all. ;) Can't wait!!!

I had a brilliant time at the O2 but it was very tiring (old age kicked in). I was sitting in restaurant on Sunday afternoon and noticed the two girls sitting at the next table were wearing Andy Murray t-shirts. I spoke to them and it turned out to be Odds (from Vienna) and her sister Eunice from Aberdeen. It was so nice to meet someone who supported Andy. Hello Odds, hope you had a good time at the match and have arrived home safely - may see you there next year. I also met another two young ladies on Monday afternoon who noticed my I Love Andy Murray t-shirt and came over to speak to us. One was from Aberdeen and her friend was from Germany and they both loved Andy. They met him last year and one look at his eyes and they immediately fell in love with him - so nice to hear that.
