[WimbledonWestie]

The presale is 29th January according to the link they emailed me a couple weeks ago. Deffo planning to go. Great event and a nice wee treat in the autumn winter term.

[themass15]

So lucky to live in London, one of the highlights of the year for me.

[Elizabeth]

I am planning on going with my daughter Bubblebee and my grandson Hot_Dog&Sneaky_Lob.

[tennis890]

Think me and my brother will be going again this year. May only go to 1 session this year though, not sure yet.

[roytennisfan]

Seems like the Presales are this week, just got an email for Friday and there is the o2 one this Wednesday

Edit: the timer on the email shows 4 days but on reading it says a code will be sent on 29th

[WimbledonWestie]

Yeah I got an email saying they would send a code on Monday.

Quicker than me today thanks Sally

[themass15]

Got my tickets today through O2 Priority, 8 sessions including final and first semi. Had a lot of trouble to begin with paying but eventually got it sorted.

[roytennisfan]

Just got 3 sessions so far, all row AAA in 106, had a few issues myself this morning. May add some more sessions.

[themass15]

I had terrible trouble paying on the website this morning, not sure why. In the end I ended up with Row P in Section 103 for the final, have 3 sessions in AAA 106 and the others are in Rows CCC, C & E, both Section 106. When I tried for the first session on the 11th for quite some time, all the seats were blocked out.

[roytennisfan]

Yes I had that as well, also 12 on Monday was blocked , just corrected mine are also in 106

[themass15]

We could be next to each other!

[WimbledonWestie]

Hopefully no payment glitches Monday- the end of playtime bells waits for no man... or website!

[Silverdee]

Can the general public buy on Monday?

[themass15]

Can the general public buy on Monday?

You need to register to get the presale code.

[Silverdee]

I’ve signed up for the newsletter, is this the same thing? Can’t see on site where I can register.

[themass15]

I’ve signed up for the newsletter, is this the same thing? Can’t see on site where I can register.

It's on the World Tour Finals website

[Caro]

Have been to the semis the past 2 years but might give it a miss this year. Love the event but it’s pricey and I’m going to Wimbledon for the whole if the first week this year.

[WimbledonWestie]

We're hanging off on Friday night tix this year after I paid a fortune last year then could only get a flight arriving 7:30 - which was delayed and I ended up seeing about 20 mins max of tennis. The saving would buy us 1 day at Queen's! We might get a cheaper ticket nearer time but at moment just going for semis tix then going to try for queen's semis and final. Hoping to do some Wimbledon as well- school stops before it starts so have much more flexibility there.

[themass15]

Anyone buying tickets this weekend will find it a lot easier, they have a similar style for purchase as last year. Only difference is if you go for a multi package you have to take the same number of seats for each session. Last year you could choose. Some good seats on sale for the final.

[Elizabeth]

How can we buy tickets this weekend please?

[WimbledonWestie]

Think it's just folk with O2 priority this weekend. I am being emailed presale booking link for Monday via the tour finals website- and I think cos I bought them before. But think u can sign up on their website. Don't know if it has a deadline though.

[roytennisfan]

Can now choose block and had already added a 4th lot of AAA in 106, now have first 6 sessions 4 x 106AAA 111B 112A + final 110C (bought via o2 priority)

[themass15]

Well done Roy, you only have 1 session less than me

[Elizabeth]

Has anyone received a code to buy tickets for ATP Finals this morning?

[themass15]

I have received a link

[tennis890]

I got the link too but we need accessible tickets so on hold trying to get through. Always a nightmare, been on hold for nearly an hour in previous years!

[JerryD]

Has anyone received a code to buy tickets for ATP Finals this morning?

Don't need a code, just click on the link in the email :)

[JerryD]

I forgot about the presale today so hadn't made any firm plans with KevD or Yellowlivi I'm sure tickets will still be available for Monday but sometimes after the presale the first Sunday ones aren't great. So I got two for each session on the first Sunday. Not as good seats as I would have liked. I should have got my friend to let me use her priority again lol Certain I can insist on Kev going so didn't mind getting those. . I can wait for Monday until I hear back from them lol

[tennis890]

Finally got through, got them in 108 for the Sunday evening. Just the one session for now as money is a bit tight and we are wanting to try and fit a west end show into our London trip this time. This will be our 6th year going to the O2 to watch the tennis :) Never done the final before though, so think we will do that next year :)

[Silverdee]

Got tickets for myself and Tennisfan today, for both semis and the final.

[WimbledonWestie]

Typically our school internet was down til almost lunchtime! Fortunately my partner in crime arrived early at the course she was on and managed to get our semis tix before it started!

[WimbledonWestie]

Good discounts for BTM members on sale now. We now have Friday night tix. We only took top tier as we don't want to pay lads for tickets and then hardly see anything if flights are delayed. Got near front of top tier for £26 - including all the add on fees. Even bigger discounts mon- thurs.

[themass15]

That's brilliant when the normal sessions are £79.50. An all day ticket works out cheaper which Jackie and I have for the Friday.

[WimbledonWestie]

I know but I have to work and fly down at teatime. Was a great deal, 40%, I think top tier was 50% mon- thurs. even the weekend was 15% off, on all levels..think we might wait for BTM sale next year!

[themass15]

Rafa only singles player qualified so far but looks as though Fed and Novak will be there too. If only Andy was there to make up the Fab Four. Mate/Pavic first doubles team to qualify.

[angiebabez]

This tourney is way down on my list now especially with Andy not playing! I have enjoyed it previous years I've went but the fanzone has been scaled way back which isn't great and I much prefer to keep my money for outdoor tourneys in the summertime. Much prefer watching tennis outdoors...planning on doing Roland Garros next may as it's the only slam I haven't attended

[clancy]

I've never been to ATP Finals but have watched it on tv; think I would struggle with the flashing lights and the noise. I know DC (as was) was noisy but not manufactured noise, if you know what I mean. And certainly won't be going with Andy not around. x

[WimbledonWestie]

I love it tho I know that's partly as it's great to look forward to mid way through the term and is one of the few events that fits into teaching. Otherwise I would only have queen's and Wimbledon- and even they are dependent on ability to get tickets. Fortunately been lucky last few years. I do miss the fanzine at the O2, loved when you cold watch them doing the tv show and there were several open practice courts. One year they even simulated the walk through the smoky doors.

[Elizabeth]

I am going with Bubblebee and Hot_Dog& Sneaky_Lob on Friday and Saturday. I love this tournament but am disappointed in the Fan Zone now.

[Caro]

Have been a few times and whilst I have really enjoyed it, it is mega expensive so giving it a miss this year especially with no prospect of Andy and Rafa often doesn't end up playing. Like Angie I am planning / hoping to go to Roland Garros next year.

[WimbledonWestie]

Roland Garros on my 'when I work part time ' bucket list !

[Joyce]

Roland Garros on my 'when I work part time ' bucket list !
Same for me, Clare. Might c u there! x

[roytennisfan]

I am going to have to miss the Final on Sunday 18th, i have 2 tickets in 110 row C going spare if anyone fancies it, not cheap cost £313

Edit: Now sold

[JerryD]

After dropping the pc down the stairs and no fixing dog chew mess, I think this is now lower down our list of priories. Gutted but such is life sometimes. Thanks though Roy x

I would have snapped them up Roy. Jackie and I are back in Row P but don't want to have to go through the worry of selling them.

So sorry Jerry, hope your luck improves

[JerryD]

So sorry Jerry, hope your luck improves

No worries lol. Maybe i’ll Play the lottery this week ;)

[themass15]

So pleased Delpo has qualified, makes my ticket purchases seem more worthwhile now

[Caro]

The first Sunday is all sold out but they always release more tickets nearer the time. Might wait and see who’s in what group and look at a last minute tickets possibly ...

[themass15]

Has anyone received their tickets? I opted for e-tickets and last year seem to recall they were sent quite early.

[WimbledonWestie]

My e tickets for Friday night just arrived late on Tuesday evening. Our Saturday tickets are being posted, don't think they've arrived yet ( they're going to my friend ) but they are always later than e tix

[dizzypops]

A friend got Thursday evening tickets today - I am still waiting for Sunday's.

[Silverdee]

Just received my e-tickets today for Sat and Sun.

[themass15]

All my tickets were emailed early this morning.

[themass15]

Did anyone catch what they said about Del Potro and the WTF about 30 minutes ago. I had the sound turned down and missed it. Any news mention suggests he won't be playing.

[Teresa]

They said earlier when they were looking at the Race to London that he was almost certainly going to have to pull out.

[themass15]

That's what I feared. So disappointing for him.

[Caro]

There's an offer for LTA members (I had an email) for 50% off tickets for ATP Finals. There is only one day I could go though, the first Sunday and that is sold out!

[JerryD]

They still have tickets on the main website not on the offer but they are more. The email I got said up to 15% which is weird. I wonder why it was less.

[jagmad]

We had one for 20% so make of it what you will!

LTA all over the shop??????

[Elizabeth]

I got one for 15% but Bubblebee got one for 50%.

[Hawkeye]

Out of interest Betty, when was the last time you went, and when was the last time Bubblebee went? Testing a theory.

[WimbledonWestie]

Think I got a 50% offer- been every year since 2013. I also got this offer in march- used it to get Friday night tix as we weren't going to go then- my flight gets in at 7:30 . But at half price ....... AnywY, am sure the email I got last week was 50%.

[Caro]

I know Betty and Elaine have definitely been the last 2 years because I have seen them there. 50% is a great offer, just wish I could use it :rolleyes:

[JerryD]

I am selling two tickets for the Sunday evening. 11th Nov 6pm. Block 106 row AAA. That’s the first evening session. I paid over £160 in the presale but selling for £150 for the pair. Anyone interested PM me. Hoping to go on the Monday instead. Fingers crossed x

[Elizabeth]

Out of interest Betty, when was the last time you went, and when was the last time Bubblebee went? Testing a theory.


Sorry Ronnie I just noticed your post. Yes as Carolyn says we were there the last two years plus some more. Not sure exactly how many for Elaine but with the exception of one year I have been every year.

[JerryD]

I’ve been every year since 2010. Though I got an email saying 15% when I logged on and put in the code the discount was higher than that for the Monday. The full 50 % offer only seemed to apply to the seats in level 4 for me though.

[Linda]

I'm very glad I'm not going. No Andy, no Rafa, no DelPo. :sad:

[themass15]

I'm very glad I'm not going. No Andy, no Rafa, no DelPo. :sad:
My favourites too Linda and I have 8 sessions
Still there is Jamie, Sascha and Dominic

[Elizabeth]

I always enjoy the atmosphere no matter who is playing. Of course if Andy is there that is the icing on the cake.

[WimbledonWestie]

Agreed! Great atmosphere and top class tennis. Always been worth the Friday night dash to the airport. Best when Andy there-but when he's not it's just an opportunity to enjoy tennis without gaining grey hairs lol.

[themass15]

I am just hoping Isner v Cilic is not one of the sessions I have. They are unlikely to sell many unsold tickets for that session.

[JerryD]

I always enjoy the atmosphere no matter who is playing. Of course if Andy is there that is the icing on the cake.

I’m the same Betty. Only sad that this year Kev has recently changed jobs so we can’t go to many sessions :( looking forward to seeing Jamie and theim tomorrow

[themass15]

I will be there tomorrow afternoon Jerry with another friend.

[tennis890]

Have a great time all of you that are going :) Myself and my brother were going but cancelled our trip in the summer as we have booked a trip to New York in January so couldn't afford to do both. Seems strange not going as we have been for the past 5 years! Hopefully we will be back next year (along with Andy) ;)

[themass15]

Who is going this weekend? Jackie and I are there both sessions Friday, first semi and final. I am also there with another friend for first session tomorrow.

[JerryD]

Hey is anyone there today or tomorrow? I lost the magnet o got from there on Sunday. :( I get one every year. They don’t sell it ok the online shop. They have a few different types but I always get the same particular type. Can you messe me if you are, either her or Facebook so you could pick me a new one up and I will transfer the funds. I can also send a photo of last year’s one to make sure it’s the same type. I hate the rubber ones and silly shape ones. Thanks guys x

[JerryD]

Big thanks to Elaine and Betty, I now have the magnet situation in hand lol

[JerryD]

My friend has is selling a ticket for the final today. You can download it. Let me know if anyone is interested
