Brittak at IW, Elegant Point at Miami.......wow....

I managed Redbridge British Tour level 2 last week - do you think that counts ???

 Posted similar in the mens thread re Ilkley - although Id like to think Ilkley trumps Redbridge British Tour for excitement and glamour!

Hoping some of the Brits can do well at Indian Wells.
I am knocking off one of my bucket list trips as am there from Friday to the following Thursday and have tickets for each day.
Will try and send some live updates. . .

 How wonderful !  That is brilliant.  Some effort to organise too I imagine.

 It wasnt too bad actually.

Tickets started becoming available last summer and they sold them as packages for first weekend (Fri/Sat/Sun), middle days (Tues/Weds/Thurs) and then final weekend (Fri/Sat/Sun). So I have a reserved seat on stadium 1 and then access to unreserved seats on all other courts. I like going for the earlier rounds because there is more going on and obviously the better chance of some Brit action so i have the first weekend and the middle days packages and then i bought the Monday ticket as well. 

My first day is Friday so will miss the first round and my last day is next Thursday and all 8 QF matches are being played that day so that will be a pretty good day to finish on.

Once tickets were sorted, flights and hotel were pretty straightforward really. Flew into Dallas and then down to Palm Springs. It is very interesting being in the desert with the backdrop of snow on the mountains all around and a lovely time of year to be here. 

Apologies if i am boring you all but i am so excited to be here and looking forward to tennis action later in the week and will update on the live tennis as i go.

 oh yes, that landscape has huge appeal. I am curious about the local travel, have you hired a car or are there shuttle buses or something?

 Sounds marvellous , Brittak, very jealous! Looking forward to your reports and hope you have a great time. 
I think it was Elegant Point that is going to the Miami event after this, hope she/he enjoys that as well! 

im trying to get my Ilkley tickets next week!

 I wish!!! Might get to Queens or Eastbourne if work commitments allow  

---

 oh, sorry, I must have misread some previous posts! I thought we had someone here saying they planned to go to Miami later this month and thought it was you!

 No, there was definitely someone going to Miami, it piqued my interest because I used to live there.  From memory they were also going to the French Open and another tournament.

Looks like the post was deleted (or possibly on another thread)

 not going mad then!!

Have a brilliant time Brittak.

I'm excited about getting centre court tickets for Surbiton this year - and I live about three miles away - but your trip is another level. Looking forward to hearing your reports.

 I assume you are going at the end of the week. I have ground passes for the Monday and Tuesday.

Sounds a great trip, Brittak. I think I might add it to my list !

 Yes I'm going on Wednesday, which I thought was the best option for still seeing Brits while seeing some interesting matches. I'll also hopefully go earlier in the week too but that's easier to drop in for plus you can get on centre court without specific tickets.
