not for me, but it might be worth offering them on the andy murray forum.

Yeah, I think I may do that, although, I've yet to join that forum, despite having been meaning to for years - literally!

I'm a little disappointed by the lack of response on here, having now been over a full day since posting, but with the Murray vs. Mayer match due to start in under an hour, there my be some interest by the end of the evening...

I suspect if people were keen they'd have snapped them up long ago. If they weren't keen a few months ago, they're unlikely to be keen now, with tennis having been largely off the agenda recently and Andy's prospects, due to injury, perhaps diminished.

So I share your suspicion that the timing might not be right - put them back on the market after Andy's won Paris and you'll make a fortune!

I guess anyone here really interested in attending on the Thurday / Friday would be likely to already have got tickets and as you say apparently face value tickets are still avalable from Ticketmaster.

It would have been nice if you had got a quick response from someone reconsidering their options or just being jolted into action by your post. But I don't find it that surprising.

Anyway, I am sure the offer to this board was generally appreciated.

As the Hoose says maybe Andy's reemergence after his break may help matters, particularly if he is successful.

I personally am going down to the final ( good if Andy can make it but I expect an enjoyable occasion whatever ). However, I can't make earlier in the week.

I wasn't disappointed by a lack of interest or offers, just the general lack of response, even if just to say that the offer was appreciated.

I realise that the tickets are expensive, especially in this economic climate, and with the the ticket dates only 3 weeks away, it could even be an issue for some to get down to London and get reasonably priced accommodation.

Just to reiterate though, while tickets are still available from ticketmaster, I'm selling mine cheaper than you'd pay there, and the seats are if not better, at least closer to the court than are still available. smile

And yeah, while Andy's return to fitness may help me offload them, there's going to be 7 other top singles players there, not to mention the doubles which can be great to watch.

Oh, and well done on getting your ticket for the final - I tried to get at least 1 ticket for the final Sunday, but wasn't able to - it should be a great match regardless of which players make it.

Stew.... Not sure of my schedule for Uni for that week by depending on what lectures I have I might be interested in taking the tickets.

I'm already going on the Wednesday but if I'm not in on Thurs or Fri then I would take the tickets, but I won't be into Uni until Monday so probably won't know until then exactly when I'm in.

If they are still available then I will get back to you then and take them off your hands if you don't want the tickets.

I've also got an assignment due in at no later than 4.00p.m. on Thursday the 26th, and knowing what I'm like, I'll may not have the assignment finished before leaving for London on the 25th.

I really need to get ready to go out, so apologies if the above text doesnt make sense; I've not properly read though it, so it may appear as if I'm rambling...!

Stew - go out a little bit less - and not only will you rapidly save enough money to cover the cost of the tickets, you'll also get your assignment in before 25th. It's a win-win situation, as any business analyst would tell you!

Well, good luck anyway, Andy.

To be honest, I don't go out that much, and even when I do I don't tend to spend too much.

Anyway, I've looked into the cheapest ways of getting to London and back, and staying there for 3 nights; and by doing it on a budget - I think I will go down for the few days, but the offer of a ticket for Thursday and Friday both afternoon and evening is still there.

As a side note, this is how cheap I think it could be:-
Return coach - £25
3 nights in a hostel - £56
Oyster top up to cover the 3 days - £20

So, just over £100 there, plus food/drink and maybe a few souvenirs... should come to under £200 total, which is what I'm expecting from the 4 tickets, so my bank balance won't be negatively affected it seems.

Plus, since I'll be there, I could meet the person/s who want/s a ticket/s at the o2 on the actual days which seems ideal from my point of view.

Although, of course by selling all the tickets, and not going down, I'd be in the region of £450 better off, and I need to decide whether 2 and half days of tennis is worth that much.

hmm

it seems as if this post is quite pointless... as I've swayed from probably going, back to not fully decided! doh

So, if anyone wants to buy both tickets for a session for £100, I'll perhaps still let you have them. I think I'm rambling again...

Well, I'm currently on my way down to London, and I didn't bother offering my spare tickets on the Andy Murray forum, or anywhere else for that matter.

I'll hopefully be able to sell them while I'm there, anyway, could someone who's already been there this week let me know if there're touts operating outside the O2, as I'd perhaps try to offload my spare tickets to them.

I didn't see any touts but then it was hammering it down with rain at the time!
