DC Manchester Sept 2024 - Any plans for a group booking?

[Stell]

My hotel is the Niu Loom hotel, which is about a mile away. Is there going to be a group booking for when the tickets go on sale or do I have to get them for myself?

Any plans for a group booking for the DC ties in Manchester?

[exislander]

I have been wondering the same but got an error when I tried to post anything for the last 5 days.

[Silverdee]

Still no news from the LTA about tickets which apparently go on sale tomorrow. Now that’s what I call leaving it late!

Agreed! ^

Hi folks.
I'm not organising a group booking.
I'd asked a couple of others if they would but not heard back.

Perhaps one of you might like to make a group booking?
If so let me know.

Please note that I'm really busy for the next 48hrs with 2 lots of work including invigilating.
Which means for several daytime hours I cannot access the internet or phones.

[Stell]

I would be interested in joining the group booking, if anyone else will be doing it.

[Silverdee]

Just heard from LTA, ticket sale postponed!

[Rosalind]

still nothing! I hope I have not missed anything :(

[Sallydaisy]

Tickets go on sale tomorrow for the DC Final stages in Manchester.
:tennis:
:GBflag:

[Silverdee]

Thank you Sally. Just looked at LTA site and still no info re tickets on there. The email I had last week said sale of tickets postponed.

[Silverdee]

Had another look. On sale 16 May on Ticketmaster site, priority booking.

[Rosalind]

After bringing Andy on so late in Glasgow, I didn't go to Manchester last time as a protest against the poor organisation of the Davis Cup now. I was thinking, ok back to it this time. However they have not got off to a good start. I'm now in two minds again. They treat the fans so poorly I really don't know if I can be bothered. :angry:

[Silverdee]

Let’s hope they get the priority code out for Advantage members in time for the sale, starting at 10am on Thursday.

[Stell]

I never received an email from the LTA telling me about when the tickets go on sale and I'm an Advantage member!!

[Silverdee]

Stell, I contacted them.

[Silverdee]

Just checked Ticketmaster site, they have changed the date on there to: Presale 21 May at 10.00 am

[Silverdee]

Now checked AO arena Manchester, looked at their calendar of events and Davis Cup not listed! ?

[exislander]

On the LTA site today it says:-

Tickets for the Davis Cup 2024 in Manchester have not gone on sale as of yet.

As soon as the sale opens all those with access to the priority sale will be contacted.

[Stell]

Have they decided to go for the new Co-op Arena instead?

[Stell]

I see what you mean, Silverdee, as I've had a look as well and it wasn't there. I know Peter Kay was supposed to be performing at the new Co-op Arena, but he moved to the AO Arena instead after they couldn't open on time. I've had a look at the Co-op Arena website as well and there's nothing about the Davis Cup.

[Silverdee]

It seems a bit strange.

[Stell]

I had another look at the AO Arena's website and Peter Kay won't be there during the DC tie. I, presume, they just haven't put it onto their website as the tickets haven't gone on sale yet.

[Stell]

I've found LTA members can buy tickets from 21st May at 10am until 28th May at 9am. Three presale tickets will be on sale from 26th May at 10am until 28th May at 9am. The general sale will be from 28th May at 10am for anyone who couldn't get or wants a ticket (or tickets).

[Stell]

I've tried to get tickets without any success. The LTA website said I'm not a member and the Ticketmaster UK website just keeps buffering. Did anyone get any tickets?

[Silverdee]

LTA said I wasn’t a member either so I paid ?30 today to make sure, nothing happening. Keep getting a fault page on LTA site.

[Stell]

It looks like I've got to wait for the general sale. I've already made an official complaint to the LTA and Ticketmaster UK about this.

[Silverdee]

Have emailed LTA. I wish they’d update their site, I keep getting Davis Cup info for 2023!

[Silverdee]

Stell, LTA presale is to 28th so we might have replies by then.

[Stell]

Just found someone called Neil on the LTA's Facebook website wondering why the Davis Cup ticket sales website wasn't working.

[goldfish]

Just checked emails and have one from LTA at 12.16 with a code that seems to let me in. As someone else is actually booking my tickets, I haven’t booked but it is looking possible.

[Stell]

Just got my DC tickets after receiving an email from the LTA apologising for their website not working.

[Silverdee]

Good news Stell. I got mine too, in the end!

[Stell]

I paid 10 pounds each for mine. I presume we'll never know why they had to charge ?2.75 (each) for "handling", as they put it.
