Well here's a quick update.

WELL DONE GUYS.

I have to say I have been to some events in my time but this knocks them all into a cocked hat.
The atmosphere is utterly magic and all consuming.
The TV coverage doesn't do it justice. It is just so loud it's unbelievable.

The Mrs has already booked the accommodation in Brussels for the final. :grin1:
Just gotta get tickets now. Gulp. ~:(

I have just found this and if anyone says tennis is boring. WELL :roll:

I call it how GB won the semi's. The single rubbers were a forgone conclusion.
It's all the best points stitched together.

It's fast and it's furious. Enjoy

I know we did. :-D

So the final is being held at the Expo Ghent in Belgium. OK not to far away from UK.
It seats around 13'000 so should have a good atmosphere.
Then we find out that the Belgian tennis federation are going to stick rigidly to only
releasing 10% of the tickets to the away teams authority (LTA) Boooo. !@@!
So that means that the LTA have had to release what's left of the 1'300 tickets by a balot, open
only to existing paid up LTA members and people who have bought tickets to previous matches.
So that means you'll be lucky if you get even two tickets.
Having talked to other members on tennis forums we decided that the main reason for
the restriction was to keep British supporters numbers down. (Not surprising really with
the support we give our boys) Because if you watch the semi final between Belgium
and Argentina there was a lot of empty seats in Brussels. So can't see it being for any
other reason myself.
Anyway long story short it was decided that they couldn't stop us buying in their general sale.
So a plan was hatched to besiege the site selling the tickets on line, to get as many Brit's in
the stadium as possible.
Well it was all over, done and dusted in 12 minutes, :eek: all sold out. :eek: :eek: :eek:
How the hell do you sell so many tickets in such a short space of time????
I did a little maths. 13000 seats each day minus UK allocation (1300) = 11'700
Minus corporate, freebies, kickbacks and VIP's. Say that leaves 9'000.
Then another 1000 for the Belgian pre-sale for their members etc. No lets call it 2'000
so that leaves a minimum of 7'000 that should have gone on sale for each day.
That's a total of 21'000 separate tickets.
So imagine the WTF. when it turns out that only 3'000 went on sale. :no: :bang: :bang:
There were so many disappointed British fans. I just hope that there are no empty seats
when it's televised, or there's gonna be a lot of questions being asked.

How did we fair in the Belgian general sale, I hear you ask?

Nothing to do with me I must confess. It's all the wife's work.
Isn't she absolutely fantastic?
Once again she's brought a little Rocking horse poo into my life. :grin1:

Thanks for reading hope you enjoyed.
