Who's going to Trent Bridge?

[irfan]

I have relented & just bought a gold ticket for £75 after vowing not to attend any games! Tickets are still available through official channels. Will be travelling from London.

[Oxy]

No

Cant justify the cost to watch 1 game - with all the associated travel costs...plus food

But I have a ticket for the final

[TAK]

16 in our party from leeds

I have a couple of tickets for the final. I just hope Pak make it otherwise I will probably sell them.

Well you should be able to make up the expenses of going to Trent Bridge by selling your final ticket to a South African fan after they win

[dblock]

I am hoping they make the finals, for more than one reason.

Bit late in the day to make plans to visit Trent Bridge.

In last 12 days:

3 trips to the Oval / 1 to Lords.

1200 miles

4 lots of return trips. 4 lots of London travel passes. Food etc etc

No way I'm going to make any of that up by selling a Final ticket!

[t_kaay]

I was thinkin about it but the round trip incl ticket would set me back about £100. I have tickets for the final so my thought process was....."if i go to the semi and if they lose I will be down in the dumps and feel I wasted my money......I can watch it from home and WHEN they win I have tickets for the final anyway so I will still see them in the big game", so I talked myself out of going

[goldleaf]

Unfortunatley not due to work commitments but have a final ticket so lets see what happens.

Trent bridge will be a top atmosphere with more northerners flocking there than the oval/lords. Which should create a better atmosphere as personally I think the northerners are a bit more boisterous.

I'd love to go - but Trent Bridge isnt the easiest place to get to and from via coach or train unlike Old Trafford, Lords & Oval

[KaSaNoVa_G]

I would love to go to this but i cant make it with having to go work atleast for half the day.. thats why i was wishing it was the Oval semi as that would have been down the road and i had well have tickets for that sitting here !

Anyways i expect many Pak fans to be there make sure you make loads noise ! all our matcjes apart form the friendly have been in London the other pak fans such as up north and midlands deserve a game a bit more closer to home for them compared to London...

[KaSaNoVa_G]

Is it a bit early to ask for a Final ticket or to be put on a list if we do reach it lol ?

What website did you get the tickets from? I'm trying to get hold of some now. I can only find silver tickets which are going for £80!

[mooz]

Isn't it amazing how people who put down T20 all the time are attending 3 and 4 games?

I think you will find a lot of people put down IPL - and NOT T20 (if you were referring to me)

[t_kaay]

plenty of tickets on ebay and gumtree but now that pakistan are confirmed the prices have gone thro the roof......I thought the price was being quoted in rupees at one stage!!!

[Da Don 101]

The prices are ridiculous! I was hoping for nothing more than 80!

[Oxy]

They were £40 / £8 if you bought a little while ago

[irfan]

Probably Indian fans trying to get rid of tickets they bought thinking their team would top their group, lol!

[Da Don 101]

Just got tickets better be worth the money!

[Oxy]

Who is going to Trent Bridge?

MS Dhoni aint!

[Waq]

I am trying the official ICC site with no joy.

Are there any other official channels to buy a ticket?

[Wasim_Waqar]

Where from? Gimme a hand!! Jus 1 ticket needed.

[Muzy]

im thinking of going to the final but im still unsure... ridiculous prices though lol even at face value man normal tickets where expensive :@ but if its a pak final i think tickets will sell out fast won't they

btw has anyone bought tickets from gumtree (just want to know if its safe or not as ive not bought from this site before)

[Oxy]

This is my strategy for the Final.

If Pak make it - so do I.

If Pak dont make it, I goto Lords as planned as I have paid for my train & coach tkts - sell my ticket, and then come back home!

My friend found some indian woman who was selling tickets so i guess we got lucky. But have to do a mission just to collect the tickets and then to go Nottingham!

I've got tickets and travel and hotel all sorted for the final, so I'm guessing I might just go and enjoy the game, whoever is playing....should be a good atmosphere whichever teams get through

I hope at the end of match, you regret not being there at Trentbridge, and then at no cost you want to sell your final ticket ...

There are some moments which are priceless !! And I hope & pray that Today & Final day are those priceless moments for Pakistan cricket (Ameen!!)

No regrets because I cant afford the trip - simple as that.
