    Anyone going to all england open 2008? There is a early booking discount and discount for Badminton England OnCourt/Offcourt members.

    it is a good discount to book in groups. anyone member of BAE? we could book a group ticket and get good discount.

    Yes!! I will be joining badminton england this month and buying my ticket. I heard one badminton england member can buy 2 discounted tickets? Is that true? I want to take my gf with me. I will be going friday, saturday and sunday. (quarters, semis, finals) what about you?

    guys i think we should definatly do a group booking to get discount. I live in stafford which is about 40 mins from NIA so not too far. I will be driving there with my friend. We are 2 of us possibly 3 or even more. Lets make a plan and book as a group. How many ppl do we need?

    ok so we need 15 ppl in one group to get a 10% discount. I am a badminton england member and for me to book friday saturday and sunday it will cost me £37. I wonder how much I will have to pay with the group discount. I rang the number on the booking form and they were most unhelpful lol. Its just a ticketing company who sell concert tickets etc that are selling the badminton tickets. At first the guy didnt even know there was a discount for bae members. :/

    I think you were probably just unlucky. I got the BAE discount without even asking for it! She did ask me for the membership number a bit later though.

    hi crosscourt.....i am aware of the seating arrangement, however this does not really give you an idea of which seats are actually the best ones....is it best to sit in the higher tiers with a better angle of view but further away...or sit lower down closer to the action but maybe not the best angle?

    anybody?

    I think the lower tiers are better, on the whole, than the upper tiers. The best seats for me are the higher seats of the lower tier (hope that makes sense!)
