Ed, is it just me or does the website not actually give details of dates and times for the event? I know that at first you are most concerned with participants but now its getting close and members of the public want to buy tickets this would be very useful information to provide.

Last call - Id like to buy some tickets this afternoon (anyone know the ticket office hours), and Im still hoping someone will tell me what the view from the balcony is like (either someone who was there two years back, or someone who knows the planned layout). Will I be able to see over the railings? Will the roof be in the way? I honestly cant remember enough about the layout in 2002, and I was in the seats then anyway.

Hoping Im not going to regret a decision...

Thanks,

Andrew, Id offer some suggestions, but a) I cant remember what the venue was like either, and b) I havnt been given any further information to put on the website other than whats on there.

I *think* youd be able to see over the balcony ok (unless youre 3ft tall). You could always buy a seat and see if you can get up to the balcony on the day. Cover both bases ?

Thanks, Ed. To clarify, I know I can see over the railings on the balcony - I meant the railings used as the inner arena wall. (i.e. with only macrolon between me and the robots).

Ill try asking the box office. I vaguely remember, but not having been up to the balcony I dont remember whether its looking down on the arena roof, hence my confusion.

Dont suppose anyone knows how high the ceiling will be? Maybe Im just being paranoid.

As for buying seats and trying to swap... arguably, but Im buying five for both sessions on the second day, plus myself for both sessions on the first, so Im trying to save sixty quid for my robot. :-)

Okay, I have my balcony tickets for all sessions (and some for four friends for the Sunday). I gather the balcony is 13 up, although Ive not established whether thats the base of it or the top of the railing. If anyone knows if the ceiling of the arena is going to obstruct a view from that height, now would be a good time to tell me. :-) (Hope that does a little bit to help with the losses from last year, anyway.)

As a couple of years back, if youre after volunteers to put the seating away, let me know. I need the exercise.

Ed - Did you get my e-mail about G-Force?

Yes

I would just like to point out that it will be Daniels birthday on the Sunday. He will also be taking his girlfriend with him.

Mike.
