Not that I do, but thanks
. (Oh, and you need a head for heights, I understand). I've only ever watched ballet in the O2, so have no idea about tennis, although I bet the Royal Albert Hall is better

I'm not good with heights, but was up there last year...about 10 rows back from the front.Not that I do, but thanks
The view was great, and I had no problem with it being so high......
I'm going this year, on the Thursday, both sessions, back to ground level though. I think about 5 rows from the court

Last year there were some really good tickets released just before the tournament. I booked months in advance and would have got better tickets had I waited, so this year I waited. I'm hoping to go on the Thursday and Friday evenings, but they're sold out at the moment so I don't know if it will happen.
I went on the first day last year and saw Federer v Tsonga from the upper level and Nadal v Fish from the lower level. The upper seats are fine and actually have their advantages in terms of the angles you can watch the play from, but the lower seats are fantastic as you're so close to the action.

When you say perforated, do you mean he's separated the ticket from the stub? I'd assume that if he brings both there shouldn't be a problem. I know that the O2's rules for issuing duplicates are pretty stingy, though.
BTW, anyone got any answers to the first part of my question in post no. 19?

Yes. The stub is now separate from the main ticket. They are both in mint condition. I don't think it should be a problem, if he takes both with them, I seem to remember once they look at your ticket the guard perforated it and keep the stub, so your just saving them a job:shrug:
I have been the last two years so I can tell you about the schedule.
Usually doors open up about 10:30-10:45. The afternoon session START at 12 noon, where a doubles will be played first, so after a warm up etc the doubles with start about 12:20, finish roughly about 2ish. Then you will watch one singles. Could be a easy match or epic 3 hours. So its hard to say when it will end. Once it has, they will clear the 02 in preparation for the evening sessions which I think start at 6pm, which involve again a doubles followed by a singles.
Thanks, Rogieva, that's very helpful.
I was horrified by the price of the ice creams last year - was it £4 or something? Truly horrendous, anyway.
And watch out, because they make you take the cap off your water bottle before you enter the arena. Which is fine until your neighbour kicks your bottle over and you've nothing left to drink ...
Purchasing tickets at the venue
I'm currently working in the UK and just got the information that I got a day off on saturday. So I'd like to take this chance and watch some tennis in the O2 arena Of course I don't have any tickets yet, and I guess it's too short-term to order them online now.
Could someone please tell me what are the chances of getting a ticket directly at the venue? Is it usually sold out or are the seats left?
