It is indeed (and not the first time I've got ladies' final tickets this way).
-
I got tickets for the ladies' final through ticketmaster this morning. Took about 4 goes I think (with a quick break to check on Kristin Chenoweth tickets, which also went on sale through ticketmaster at 0900 this morning).

Just because nothing is available doesn't mean everything has been sold. Tickets can be in a basket and then returned or someone might be timed out.

And has beaten Nadal at Wimbledon before...

[thought I had posted this last Thursday but obviously not - thankfully it was still here waiting for me!] I have been successful on this a number of times (all for centre court) since it was first introduced (including ladies' final day once). Twice I have got a return (one in the front row, one in the second, both down in that corner where Sue Barker does her interviews), I went on Monday (so booked on Sunday) and on Friday (booked Thursday). When I did it on Sunday, it was about 9.06 when I finally got a ticket, on Thursday morning it was on my second attempt. I would suggest not being logged-in before and just being on the tickets page and continually refreshing from one minute before tickets are meant to become available. The reserved tickets are all together and nothing I've seen when there leads me to suspect bots are being successful. There are a lot of fans looking for tickets and supply well and truly outstrips demand. The anti-bot tests drive me scatty (surely you should only need to do it once). I had one the other day where I had to click on every square!

Not a promotion but it appears (from T Dyer's Instagram) that Hristov is leaving RB. An elegant dancer who will be missed.

I don't think it's strange at all. In most businesses, those seeking promotion are told whether they are successful or not before a full announcement is made to the rest of the company/firm etc. I don't see why a ballet company should be any different. We are talking about people's employment here.

Olivia Cowley in hospital

I don't think it's appropriate to suggest a reason for someone's illness. -
Royal Ballet Autumn booking
bangorballetboy replied to ninamargaret's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
I imagine a sizeable number of tickets for the MacMillan shows and events have been held back for the other participating companies. When I booked (when Premium 2 Friends booking opened), the entire front stalls section was unavailable for some of the main stage shows and there were only a small handful of tickets for some of the Clore events. Accordingly, I'd suggest keeping an eye out for more tickets going on sale at a later date.- 88 replies

Matthew Bourne Cinderella
bangorballetboy replied to sunrise81's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
2011. As I've mentioned elsewhere on this forum a number of times, O'Hare said at the press announcement for the season ensuing that Cinderella will be back in the near future and probably redesigned. -
MacMillan clash ROH November 1st?
bangorballetboy replied to Geoff's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
All of the Swiss Church insights clash with something in the Clore. I just had to make up my mind as to what I would be happiest missing. -
Thoughts for the People of Finsbury Park
bangorballetboy replied to Jan McNulty's topic in Not Dance
Let's remember that this matter is sub judice and that the determination as to whether or not the perpetrator is a terrorist will be made by a jury. -
