I am betting on these dates and we have booked our flights to HK for these dates. Unfortunately I cannot find any more detailed information about that event on the Web. More info anyone please?

Hahaha I was in the same position last year.. What I did was I e-mailed the HK Badminton Ass. at hkba@hkolympic.org and asked them about the dates (and they replied). Anyway, they actually have a Calendar of Events 2009 (http://www.hkbadmintonassn.org.hk/images/stories/files/y.pdf) uploaded on their website (http://www.hkbadmintonassn.org.hk/en/) and there it said that the HKO will be on 9-15 Nov.. :D But to make sure you can try e-mailing them.

Best of luck! Hopefully you guys will be able to attend the SS.. :)

I just emailed them and they replied within an hour :)
I got confirmation of the date and ticket sales will commence in mid October. I was asked to check their website around that time as well.

Wow! nice! hopefully I get a piece of those tickets. Well 2 for me and my friend. Seems hard though as I was browsing thru the old HK open 08 threads.

..2 tix for Cheung and his special guest honor, taneepak!:cool:

I am flying back from SFO to Singapore and my SQ flight stop over in HK. I can layover in HK for 2 nights and catch both the SF and Finals ! Please let me know where I can buy the tickets to the event, thanks.

I think this is what it might be....

November:

Finals - 15th
Semi - 14th
Quarter - 13th
Round 2 - 12th
Round 1 - 11th

Correct me if i'm wrong. :o

Last year some matches of Round 1 started on the 1st day after the qualifying round, that will be on Nov. 10. I believe it was due to limited number of courts at the Queen Elizabeth Stadium.:)

I suggest you buy your tickets for the tournament early. HongKong open tickets are usually sold out very early.:)

I will definitely be there. Tickets for the finals totally sold out an hour after they start selling. Every year the problem is always how to get ticket for the finals. It's unimaginable how the tickets for the finals can be sold out in less than 1 hour. Maybe you need special connection to get a ticket. It is also the most expensive ticket among the 12 super series.:mad:

See you there.

Too bad, I will miss the HKG SS as I have to go to the US.

..if L.A., see you @ the baddie gym..

I am headed to the Big Apple just right during the HKG Open QF-F :mad:

i think we just got lucky, purchased tickets exactly 10:03 for the finals. they were sold out before 1030. unimaginable!

heard that nite session of the semi-finals were also sold out end last week...

with the draw out, would sell out more tickets for earlier rounds...
