Strip ticket will be going on sale at Ticketmaster.com on Sept 21. It seems the most expensive one is $30 and the lowest is $8. $30/day x 7 days = $210 for the whole tournament. Cheaper than the $289 package deal. Or am I missing something here?
It's actually 7 days but 9 sessions, so 9 x $30 = $270, still cheaper than $289. But, are you sure the $30 ones are the same as the $289 ones? Maybe not.
I do not know, I was hoping somone may know the answer. It does not make sense to sell cheaper ticket this early. Just my 2 cents.
website still working? when i went to www.05worlds.com, the website was taken by a company called global design. now that the website for the tournament doesn't exist anymore, where do i get info about the tournament and are the tickets all being sold through ticketmaster.com?
I believe you can still get most of the info via 05worlds.com FAQ section. Ticketmaster.com is the one that you can buy ticket now but they are only selling 7 days package. Arrowhead Pond will not confirm when will the individual day/session ticket be available.
Re: 2005 World Championship tickets... i finally got my tix. i originally ordered the $289 strip from www.05worlds.com at the beginning of july, but after 2 months it never showed up on my credit card nor did i get any confirmation the order went through. i ended up ordering through ticketmaster but the $289 strip was no longer available so i ordered the $189 strip right next to the center section (a better deal in my opinion) and received them 10 days later. ticketmaster has the dates listed wrong, but they are correct on the tickets. there are 9 sessions broken down as printed on the tix as follows: mon 8/15: prelim's 9am-10pm tue 8/16: prelim's 9am-10pm wed 8/17: 32's 9am-10pm thu 8/18: 16's + qtrs (wd) 2pm-10pm fri 8/19: qtrs ws/md/ms/mxd noon-5pm fri 8/19: qtrs ws/md/ms/mxd + semis (wd) 6:30pm-11pm sat 8/20: semis ws/md/ms/mxd noon-5pm sat 8/20: semis ws/md/ms/mxd + final (wd) 6:30pm-11pm sun 8/21: finals ws/md/ms/mxd 5pm-10pm
I called ticketmaster yesterday and found out $289 is sold out ! Is $189 a good consideration ? I never been to ArrowHead pond, so not sure if $189 offers good seating. By the way, what so special about $289 sections ? Given choice, will you take $289 back rows or $189 front rows ?

wow. already?? that's a good thing though, that means there will be a lot of audience in the WC. good for badminton popularity. but bad because i will have to resort to buying $189 seats when i attend... :crying:
I got 2 tickets for section 221 yesterday, kind of disappointed not able to get section 223 or any sections to the right of $289. I feel sections to the right of $289 are the best locations because there are more courts set up towards the right of the stadium. I hope the finals will be playing on center court (in front of $289). Otherwise, I got a bad deal :crying:
Would the WC event/organizer override the building policy? I was planning to get/bring a DV for this event. Why would they not allow anyone to tape the games?
I am guessing that they must have sold the recording right to somebody so no taping or long zoom len is allowed.
Ack, trying to convince my parents to send me there. No luck They don't appreciate the sport like I do.
I feel for you. Hopefully, someone will be selling the DVD or broadcast on TV. However, in Canada, I doubt CBC will go all out for the event.
Does anyone know whether tickets with good seating are still available for the 2005 World Championships in Anaheim this summer? I need 2 seats together and hopefully near other BCers. I hope I am not too late?
You will need to check Ticket Master website. Someone posted it that the most expensive tickets are sold out.
