Forthcoming England Series
 

Anyone from here going to watch any of the Tests/ ODIs or T20?

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

Cricket without alcohol..no thanks

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

There will be alcohol...........

I shall be there on Friday, but in a professional capacity.

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

Booked in for two test days and a ODI.

Confirmed on the alcohol as I checked before buying tickets.

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

Cricket without betting on when the next Pakistan no ball occurs...no thanks :p

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

which venue is better for enjoying the day out, Dubai or AD?

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

Cant comment on AD as I have never been to the stadium, but Dubai Cricket Ground is reasonably well laid out, fairly easy to get to etc. I know quite a lot of people who are going so there should be a good "Barmy Army" crowd.

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

Yep - but only if they send me my tickets! Paid last October (after reading newspaper ad) as a birthday pressie for self. Phoned the supplier 2 weeks ago who said tickets would be sent out next week. Have I been ripped off?:(

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

So did I! Have you received tickets yet?

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

would love to be there tomorrow but have to be in RAK

at 2pm UAE the Barmy Army will play the Last Post and sing Jerusalem to coincide with the funeral of Barmy Legend George The Podge Summerside who sadly died last weekend. George's flag Podgy Roker will be in place behind the bowlers arm as usual

Podgy and 2 other England folks celebrate beating the Aussies

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

In that case I will be there, thanks for the info:thumbsup:

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

Anyone got tickets for the AD games been trying to contact the folks there to get some ODI for birthday pres for hubbie.:fingerscrossed:

Pass on the contacts...if any
:fingerscrossed:

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

Dave Skidmore at Eventours will know where to get tickets............. ;)

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

Anyone know if there'll be booze at the Abu Dhabi matches?

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

Yep, we booked about two weeks ago through timeouttickets. We have recived tickets for the tests, but all ODI tickets are apparently collectable at the stadium. We have had an eMail confirmation showing us where to collect etc.

Hope it comes through for you :thumbsup:

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

Would it be possible to share the cost of the matches, just wan to see if the prices are venue driven, appreciate it would be different to for Tests/ ODIs/T20!
Cheers

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

Not the best start for England. Cooky out for 3 already. Not being shown on OSN Sports. Any idea if any Arab sports channels might be televising the matches?...now 42-4 with Bellers out for a duck. Yikes.

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

50 odd for 5 at lunch, what a start!!

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

Saeed Ajmal, the best bowler in the world [(c) Michael Vaughan], has taken 3-5 in five overs.........

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

Tickets available via here:

I've attached the poster they use which has address etc of ticket sellers.

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

Hopefully this scoring will mean it will be wrapped up early. I Live in Sports City and it is an absolute 'mare getting in and out when anything is on at the Cricket Stadium.

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

Hopefully nobody on here bought tickets for Friday and Saturday.:o

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

Why on earth did they start test match on a tuesday . It should have started today and at least the ground would have had some atmosphere over the weekend.

Lifeless wicket and a souless stadium plus we were tapped in every area !

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

had to leave work early, I was getting picked on :D

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

FU**, B*M, SH**T, W**K!!!!!

I bought them for both Friday & Saturday last September :(:(:(
Any chance of a refund on at least Friday?

ODI in Feb to look forward to though:thumbsup:

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

I bet you did not think it would be over that quickly! What a performance!!

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

thanks archie, considering the recent perfromace, i would not want to purchase the tickets in advance, do you know if its a possibility to buy ticket at gate?
Cheers

Re: Forthcoming England Series
 

The Abu Dhabi test match is free (there was an article in the telegraph saying that the organisers were concerned that there wouldn't be enough people there otherwise). The One Days and 20-20s you need to pay for, but I read somewhere that they don't expect to sell out (though no doubt some classes of tickets might).
