yeah..my bad..i was too excited about it..hehe...can't wait..:) pass by the stadium today..the work for the additional seats are in progress...
but you know... they make the rules and they break it
zah?
greentea - Do your best to organise everyone well and keep them quite while they're stood waiting to get to their seats. At previous events everyone is so noisy!!! And make sure everyone gets the seats they've paid for. At the start of this year the seating policy was a farce. Thank you!
It is a shame that the venue doesn't have wheelchair access. Hence, I can't go :(

so guys see you there and i hope you all behave and wont give us headache in keeping you safely in your assigned seat areas while the rally is going on ;)
Have you seen the additional seats they're putting in for this? Built on scaffolding towering above the original stadium. Not sure I'd feel that safe sitting on them!
Correction, 4th-9th of November. World top 8 will be playing. And yes, they will be charging for tickets this year.
