    so expensive?!?!?!?!??! are you kidding me? $100 won't even get you close to the action at cancuk games. hell, i would spend $200 a ticket if it meant sitting court side watching taufik and gade duking it out. these guys don't come to canada very often, in fact i believe this is gade and taufiks first time in canada. these guys aren't going to be playing for very much longer, you should take advantage of this.
    if i had time, i'd be court side watching this thing, it's a shame i live so far. :crying:

    So far, no word of withdrawal from Gade. I believe he is a man of is word. Besides, this is just an exhibition and he's probably deposited his appearance fee in his bank a/c

    Star badminton player Peter Gade has reluctantly withdrawn from Racket Rally 2009 at the Richmond Olympic Oval April 3-5 due to an injured toe, organizers announced today. Added to the event is countryman and #6 world ranked international badminton player Joachim Persson who replaces Gade.

    It appears that gade has withdrawn now and they're bringing in the world #6. I'm not sure who that is but it's a Danish player as well

    I understand it could be Kenneth Jonassen. I guess PG has not recovered from his broken toe sufficiently.
