Semi Final

[stuwilky]

I realised it had been re-developed, I was wondering if it was the kind of place to have a meal and a few beers, or is it mainly commercial?

Looks like plenty of food and booze on offer........

[berkshireblue]

Cardiff Bay is not a pub crawl session venue but plenty of choice of bars & restaurants...

[den]

It might be worth a look. I'm just thinking about letting the Mancs and Geordies have the City centre to theirselves on the Sat night!

Have to agree Tris is a comic genius in the making and wasted @ Diageo!!

Cirencester - How many you putting up for B&B?

In terms of trains from Cheltenham, have to go via Gloucester but not sure of the route from Gloucester to Cardiff..

Everything now planned for. Yippee

[Glenn]

Not wanting to start a panic, but aren't tickets not on sale until tomorrow ?

[Jan]

Sorry- I went for Corporate Hospitality which I COULD order today.

Well for the rest of us its pubs and couches, but not a live broadcast. Yes; for those of us in Australia, the early kickoff must have thrown a spanner in the works for our friends at SBS and THEIR tv schedule. So instead of seeing a live football game at 9:15, SBS will delay telecast till 10:45.

200/300 people down at Ewood this morning. Baz is about 50 people away from being served at this point.

[roverthemoon]

Have got my ticket. Block M7 Row 6 Seat 1

Expected more to be queuing at ewood but people arriving at a steady rate.

[waggy]

there's 15 going in our group and only 3 season ticket holders so we are waiting for the 2nd phase,might as well sit together for the semi ,because every man and his dog will want to go to the final

Was there at 6am this morning and about fiftieth in the que. There was more than 200 though. Went all the way down one side of the concourse and half way back up the other by the time i got served at 9.15.

Im knackered though!

[den]

Middle tier, row 3!

Baz on way home with three tickets. Queued from 7-45 until 10-20.

[Brownie]

Got 8 in a row the exact tickets we wanted.

Top tier behind the goals - row 1.

Nothing to possibly obstruct the view, just hope I don't fall off when Savage scores a 93rd minute winner !

[John Howarth]

Following my faxed application sent on Tuesday to the ticket office, I was very pleased with the excellent service. I received a telephone call this morning from a young lady at the ticket office who gave me options of exactly where I wanted to sit. Went for 2 tickets at £35 each in Lower Tier Block L7 in the BT stand. Will be sent within a few days by registered mail.

After all the adverse publicity on previous ocassions, it was very gratifying to see they can help when required.

[Ben-2000]

BT East Stand Middle Tier - £35 (just below the £55's)

Wanted £35 in corner of North/East Lower but she didn't have any at her window.

Queued from 8.50am got tickets just after 11am.

The bastwearads

Well that'll be phones switched off/off the hook etc and a media blackout.

[Robin]

I wonder if anyone can sell two tickets to me(i am from sweden)?

I have never(yet)been to ewood and seen a match so have to wait to phase 4(11 april),and that is a bit tight into booking flights and hotels

Hopefully there are some good people that have two tickets over......

[SAS]

book anyway because you`ll definetly get a ticket in phase 4

Well, you know it will take a few days for the tickets to come to sweden and "if" they get lost its might be to late to book flights and hotels in cardiff......

Robin wait a few days for the initial rush to die down and ring the ticket office. By all accounts they are very helpful in these situations.

[waggy]

Can you book on the net
