Queens 19-25th June, tickets and who is going

[roytennisfan]

Just seen that the tickets I paid £115 for this year are now £150 for 2017, slightly above 30% more (both +fees), cheaper tickets are available at £115/125. These are the new prices for Fri, Sat and Sun.

Sale details: (Nice BTM timing for anyone in Ottawa!)

A limited number of 2017 memberships will be sold for £30 each (plus a £3 booking fee), guaranteeing the ability to purchase up to two Centre Court tickets to the 2017 tournament in advance of both the British Tennis Members’ Advance Purchase Window and the General Sale.

Memberships will be in high demand so please sign up early as they will be sold on a first come, first served basis. The best available seats within each price band on each tournament day have been set aside, and tickets will be sold on a first come, first served basis.

[themass15]

The more expensive tickets are for enlarged seats. Up to £150 in South and North Stands for the Thursday/Friday. Saw this information a couple of weeks ago on the LTA Aegon Championships website.

[Caro]

Ridiculous prices!! It was bad enough before. Just too much IMO. Will be saving my money for wimbledon but more than happy to go if Gill's friend gets us freebies like last year ... :whistle: ;)

[JAMES4578]

Didn't see much play over a few days last year and doesn't seem great value compared to Wimbledon (could only go to one of them anyway)

[millypops]

It seems to me that they are cashing in on Andy's success, not good value for money

[WimbledonWestie]

I know they're dear- -but I've never been and I can't get to DC so my friend and I decided this was the year. Bought the temporary membership last week and got semis tickets today. Will try for finals tix next sale. Excited!

[themass15]

I go tix for semis too today. A friend got them for the Friday. Finals day came up as not being available.

[WimbledonWestie]

I can only do sat and Sunday. Went for Saturday today as there should be more tennis that day but wd love to get Sunday tix too. Will try on BTM presale. Depends how quick they go, can't get online till 10:45.

[Rosalind]

I feel this pre-pre-sale thing is a bit of a scam. Do we know how many priority ticket memberships they put on sale and how many final day tickets were allocated for this group It is like putting on a bet without knowing the odds. My friend did manage to get one but think she was lucky. I hope to go via another means. Queens is a fun tournament and a pretty setting but it's money money money! :grrr:

[WimbledonWestie]

Your probably right but we decided that as we were restricted to what days we could go and we wanted to go to queen's at least once having never been before, that it was worth paying the extra to increase our ticket chances- partly because I'm restricted to when I can get online to buy tickets. So having secured tickets we feel it was worth £15 each. But I get exactly where you're coming from. Very smart from a business point of view mind you.

[WimbledonWestie]

Glad you think it's fun. Been watching it all my life so am excited to finally get to experience it. Just glad I live near enough an airport that I can do London tennis trips in term times.

[Rosalind]

Oh you will enjoy. Lots of champagne and Andy - what's not to love! :) I think it's well done with lots of good facilities. Glad you got it sorted. :highfive:

[JerryD]

I've really enjoyed it the past few years but this year we will only just be getting back from Peru so it wouldn't be possible. Hope there isn't another hike next year when I will be hoping to go

[WimbledonWestie]

Lots of champagne andAndy sounds good to me!

[Caro]

Had a great time at the semis last year .... and all for free! Sat right on the barrier opposite baseline and could just talk encouragement to Andy when he was our end, he was so close we didn't need to shout. Won't be paying to go this year but if freebies come our way again, I'll be there.

[themass15]

Got to be done for me not living that far away. Already have tickets for two days (two of us bought two) and hope to go with Jackie earlier in the week.

[themass15]

Has anyone received the email yet with the code for tomorrow?

[Rosalind]

Has anyone received the email yet with the code for tomorrow?

No I have not although if I go into my membership area there is an access code. They said it was unique on a mail I got in my membership. I presume the one in our member bit is therefore unique. If you want to discuss in a pm, then message me. (I have to work shortly but can get back to you after 8pm.)
I'm now in a bit of a panic - hate these ticket buying situations.

Hi Rosalind I have picked up the code from my membership area but thanks very much for the offer.

[WimbledonWestie]

I've got my code via email which I've now forwarded to my work email. I can get on at 10:40 so fingers crossed there are still final tix left.

[themass15]

Still not received the email; now why does that not surprise me.

[JerryD]

I did get mine but not until 4pm after other people had got theirs. No queens for me this year though so it just annoyed me lol

[exislander]

My email with access code arrived this afternoon.

[themass15]

My email with access code arrived this afternoon.

I got one last year but not in 2015.

[WimbledonWestie]

I did get mine but not until 4pm after other people had got theirs. No queens for me this year though so it just annoyed me lol

The time on mine was late afternoon too. After our inspectors left- -very fitting.

[themass15]

Well I still haven't received on but at least I have the code.

[Rosalind]

I still haven't got my email but I do have the code in my member's area on the website. I hope that will work. Does anyone thing that this will be enough for me?

I have only joined British Tennis for this! They are so incompetent!

The code I have works; I have tried out on the website that is selling the tickets.

[themass15]

My email has just turned up. Better late than never.

[Rosalind]

Mine arrived at 10.20pm. Do you think half the country applied and they were weighed down by manually sending them one by one? !!

Luckily I have been through DC final ticket stress so am hardened to such things. Good luck tomorrow everyone.

[Rosalind]

got ticket after 45 mins for final. Not great and no time to choose best location. :grrr: And once you've been at the front, you can't go back to being at the back! Nevermind, I'm going. Just need Andy to get there too now.

[themass15]

I didn't get what I wanted

[Rosalind]

I didn't get what I wanted

sorry to hear that but don't give up. something might come up.

[hfwardhouse]

The time on mine was late afternoon too. After our inspectors left- -very fitting.

Inspectors?! :sofa:

[themass15]

There is always the General Sale later in the month. The increase in ticket prices obviously hasn't put people off!

[Rosalind]

I fear that the downside of Andy getting more and more popular is that there are less and less tickets :(

[WimbledonWestie]

Inspectors?! :sofa:

Big team of council inspectors in Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday- -lots of lesson obs, meeting, scrutiny of paperwork. Yuk. But we got great feedback and amongst it all I managed to get my O2 tix on Monday thanks to my friend getting online and today my queen's final. Tho like everyone else not without stress. Originally thought I'd need to wait til 10:40 break but as class were occupied I took a chance that boss went catch me and had a go- could lent get on til back of 11 by which point it was take any 2 seats that are left. North stand row ZE- - I suspect we will be first with the weather news from up there. But we've never been before and now have semis and final. It will be fab!

[Yellowlivi]

I'm going on the Monday. I wasn't going to to at all as I'll be by myself this year but I decided I'd rather go alone than not at all! So just the Monday (so far!) meaning I don't have to take a day off work.

[themass15]

I start like that and build up but Queens is very expensive. I go 3 or 4 times, however, I am lucky as I don't have any transportation or hotel costs.

[themass15]

Still tickets available for Queens all days; even the final but they are all way up the back.

[KevD]

Queens is too close for Peru for us this year so we won't be going. Did semis ans finals for a few years, it was always good. Have a good time folks.

[Murray rocks]

Going to the final can't wait.

[WimbledonWestie]

I know, never been to a final of any event before. Thrilled to have tickets.

[Caro]

I know, never been to a final of any event before. Thrilled to have tickets.

I went to the Queens final many years ago - Becker v Edberg at the end of their careers. Hope it's Andy again for you.

[WimbledonWestie]

Me too, that would be perfect-

[JerryD]

Nadal has confirmed he will be playing

http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/38884501

[WimbledonWestie]

Ooooh, he heard I would be there.

[Linda]

Ooh! I thought I would give it a miss as it's got so expensive but if I could see Rafa and Andy on the same day it would be worth it . . .

[JerryD]

Ooh! I thought I would give it a miss as it's got so expensive but if I could see Rafa and Andy on the same day it would be worth it . . .

After going the past few years, to the semis ans finals this year we had to give it a miss. It would be when Nadal is playing, typical :( enjoy folks!

[Silverdee]

http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/38884501
Having been to Queens before I am now so glad I decided to go again this year and got tickets for the semi and the final - I paid the extra £30 for early bird tickets. (I still remember the DC tie there against the French a few years ago, it was a wonderful occasion). Bit concerned about the 40% increase in capacity as I enjoy the intimacy of the venue and fear the ease of getting inside etc might be affected.

[themass15]

I am pleased to be going, especially if Rafa is going to play as well. Of course that is he assuming he will be injury free. I didn't realise there was a 40% increase in capacity. Most of that seems to be the North Stand. I hope they have a lot more toilets because there was a problem before at the end of matches.

[-J-]

have they changed the tax laws or has nadal just changed his view on paying tax ?

[Silverdee]

Possibly being injured and out of the game for so long has made him rethink his priorities and could be that he is so glad to be back and playing well.

[themass15]

Rafa played in 2015 and went out in the first round to Dolgopolov. Last year he was due to play and had to pull out injured, so this is the 3rd year in a row he has stated his intention to play at Queens.

[JerryD]

I was just about to say the last two years when we got tickets for semis ans finals we did so knowing he was due to play, but one year he went out and then withdrew

Not sure how accurate this still is but thought I would add the link.

[Naomi]

Hi everyone, I'm really hoping to go to Queens this year and am hoping for good/reasonable tickets in the sale! Quick question: is there any rule at Queens about which day the previous winner plays on?! Or I'll be hoping for semis/final tickets....

If you definitely want to see someone, now you would have to go for quarters, semi or final and hope they get to that stage. Unless of course there are a lot of rain delays.

[roytennisfan]

Stan and Dmitrov now confirmed to play at Queens and Jamie in the doubles

[JerryD]

Tickets on general sale today for anyone still looking https://www.lta.org.uk/major-events/aegon-championships/aegon-championships-tickets/

[themass15]

I got front row seats in North Stand. Much better than LTA. Won't bother with their ballot next year unless I can get a decent seat.

[Naomi]

No Naomi I don't think there is. Welcome to the forum btw :welcome:
Thank you! I've posted under this name before but couldn't sign in for some reason so re-registered.

OK thanks, looking at what tickets are still available now!

[themass15]

Hi Jerry, That was confirmed earlier this week along with Stan and Dimi. I have tickets for 4 days now but on one of those will defo not see Andy.

[Naomi]

I got tickets for the final. I was deliberating which day to go for but as there were still some final ones available, I couldn't resist! ... Now come on Andy!! :GBflag:

[banskogirl]

BB and I decided it was too expensive this year but I'm regretting it now! Would have done the same as before and flown over for the day, that way I wouldn't need respite for my brother. Would have been one flight less to pay for as well now that BB is on the mainland. Bit late now to be having this conversation with myself......


I hope everyone has a great time :) and that Andy wins off course!

I am sure more tickets will go on sale nearer the event.

[banskogirl]

I am sure more tickets will go on sale nearer the event.

Do you think so? I thought they would all have gone in the general sale?

[themass15]

I think a lot are kept back for Queens members. Just keep checking regularly.

[roytennisfan]

I think a lot are kept back for Queens members. Just keep checking regularly.

I got my front row tickets for the final and second row for the semis about 3-4 weeks before the event, think LTA tweeted they were available then

[banskogirl]

Yes, I checked and I got ours in June the year we went :) had forgotten it was so late!

[Silverdee]

I gave Queens a miss last year having been in 2015. This year I thought I'd go for one day only, to the final, but at the last minute I decided to go to the semis on Saturday as well and got tickets for both days. Having now seen the terrific line-up of stars playing there I am so glad I did!

[WimbledonWestie]

That's the days I'm going, first time I've been but been on the to do list for years. Really looking forward to it.

[themass15]

Been every year since 1998. Think it will be very different this year due to vastly enlarged North Stand.

[Silverdee]

Just what I was thinking. I hope, now that the capacity has greatly increased, it won't lose that special atmosphere. Was such an easy venue to get inside and move around. I was shocked to see that there are now around 70 steps in the North Stand. Thank goodness I am in east stand!

[WimbledonWestie]

Better get in training, our final tix are at top of north stand I think!

[Silverdee]

Good luck with that! Hope you don't suffer from vertigo.

[WimbledonWestie]

We've been pretty high up at O2 before. Was trying to buy the tix in class (sssh! Don't tell my boss) and site kept going down it was so busy (and sometimes I had to attend to pupils lol) so we were just delighted to get anything at all. We will probably know the weather half an hour before anyone else

[roytennisfan]

Better get in training, our final tix are at top of north stand I think!

I was at the back of the extended North stand for the DC but it's being extended further still. Mind you, the East Stand is still a lot of steps at the back, as well

[WimbledonWestie]

Ach well, it will help us justify the wining and dining we plan over the weekend!

[JerryD]

Raonic has now confirmed he will play queens

[GillyD]

Hopefully Caro and myself will be there again this year!!! I managed to get to Queens twice in 2016 - had freebies in the posh members area and stood out like a true provincial. But sitting courtside was fantastic and we felt like Andy's personal cheerleaders.

It was AMAZING! Hey, get you posting on the forum ;) :faint:

[roytennisfan]

Even more reason to go, nick is going to play

[roytennisfan]

Wonder if we can hope for Danick? Or Dandy? Doubles

[Silverdee]

It's a marvellous line-up this year! So so glad I decided to go and got tickets. I belive they are getting a new sponsor next year and with all these star players it bodes well!

[JimmyG]

Going Monday & Tuesday with option of last minute dash to the final if required...

[Silverdee]

Decided to add to my semi and final tickets and picked up one today for the quarter finals too. Can't resist the stellar line-up!

[Caro]

It's an absolutely top line up! Hoping to get there for a freebie day but won't know till nearer the time .... fingers crossed

[themass15]

Good luck Caro. Brilliant tournament.

[Caro]

Good luck Caro. Brilliant tournament.
Yes, Gill and I were there for the semis last year, right at the front on the posh side. Amazing!

[themass15]

I will be waving to you from the North End. So posh. Are those seats reserved?

[Caro]

I will be waving to you from the North End. So posh. Are those seats reserved? No, it's first come first served. We were literally leaning on the barrier right next to the court on the baseline. Nearly had Andy in our laps a couple of times! :love:

[themass15]

Announced on 5 Live this morning Delpo also down to play. Bring it on!

[roytennisfan]

Stella lineup now (by far the best for Queens)
Murray
Nadal
Wawrinka
Raonic
Dimitrov
Kyrgios
Del Potro
Evans
Edmund

[Rosalind]

brilliant line up!

[Caro]

All my favourite players! :love::love:

[Guerkins2]

Does anyone know if they do any late entry tickets or on the day returns? Wth such a good line up I was thinking I could go along one evening if I could see the matches were going to go on until late :tennis::tennis:

[JerryD]

They do have a resales bit. I think the money raised goes to charity

[supergran]

It was AMAZING! Hey, get you posting on the forum ;) :faint:

Have noticed her presence also.:big grin:

[piscesperson]

Just bought 2 nosebleed seats for the semis.

[WimbledonWestie]

You'll be up where I am, getting the weather half hour before everyone else . But main thing is being there!

[Malarkey99]

Extra seats on sale for the tournie. Just bought Sat & Sun premium seats. Stuck on credit card to worry about later!!!

[angiebabez]

I see andy is confirmed for starting on the Tuesday

[JerryD]

I see andy is confirmed for starting on the Tuesday

Beat me to it ange. If I ever get this work mess sorted I might get a ticket for the Tuesday. If they still have them then lol

[themass15]

I see andy is confirmed for starting on the Tuesday

That's good Jackie and I are going that day!

[angiebabez]

Beat me to it ange. If I ever get this work mess sorted I might get a ticket for the Tuesday. If they still have them then lol

Im really want to go but its just too close to Wimbledon time for me to fly down and have more nights hotel stays :sad:

[jackie55]

I see andy is confirmed for starting on the Tuesday


That's good Jackie and I are going that day!

Oh what great news:thumbup:

[Caro]

Im really want to go but its just too close to Wimbledon time for me to fly down and have more nights hotel stays :sad: Hoping to get a last minute offer .... will then need to see if I can get the day off work! Can go down and back in a day so don't have to worry about hotels thankfully.

[themass15]

I am sure there will be more tickets going on sale nearer the time.

[Caro]

I am sure there will be more tickets going on sale nearer the time. No ... the offer I'm hopeful of getting like last year is a freebie :big grin: Can't afford to buy tickets this year, it's so expensive on top of Wimbledon.

[teammurray]

I decided not to buy any tickets as I wanted semis or final but think they're over priced. Will join the day pass queue probably.

[themass15]

Just announced on 5 Live that 6 out of the top 10 at Queens. Does anyone know where the entry list is? They also said Goffin will be playing along with Andy, Stan, Rafa, Raonic and Cilic. Who is the other player in the top 10?

[themass15]

Of course Goffin is in the top 10 now! Kyrgios, Dimitro and Delpo also playing. 8 weeks today until Jackie and I go!

[themass15]

https://www.lta.org.uk/major-events/aegon-championships/aegon-championships-entry-list/

Lots of big names in the top 20

[Silverdee]

Has everyone got their tickets in the post yet? Mine haven't arrived.

[WimbledonWestie]

Yes, the ones I got in the members pre sale came 2 weeks ago, then the other day I got the ones from the BTM pre sale. Must be going out in different batches. The first lot took me by surprise as I wasn't really expecting them til beginning of June.

[themass15]

I have received all but one

[scrapaddict]

Soooo excited - got an email today from Highland Spring to say that I have won tickets for Queens on 20th June! Andy says on his FB page that that will be his first performance on grass so I am super pleased now .

[Jan]

Lucky you!!!
