Hi there, I want to know if you guys count to go to see this WC'10 in Paris ? I really thing that could be the best tournament ever cheers ++ Jeremy (from Lyon/France)
^^Yep..^^ ..it will definitely be at Pierre De Coubertin Stadium http://www.badminton2010.com/?lang=en Wow, Paris...
Don't confused your mind about 'Pierre de Coubertin Stadium' because it's not a stadium just a simple indoor arena (owner are handball & basketball of Paris) I don't know why we say Stadium for this arena (it is The french execption) too bad that the french federation couldn't rent 'Paris BERCY Arena' (18.000p) Our first idea but too much expensive... so they chose to rent the same place than for 'The French International World Super Series' (5.000p), some links : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stade_Pierre_de_Coubertin http://perso.numericable.fr/polebad/contenu/07 08/SSeries 07.jpg 'fastdrop' : If you need more details, please fell free to 'pm' I'll be glad to help you. ++
Count me out. I will not be able to, ahem, defend my "BC World Championship Victory" due to it being the Muslim fasting month.

Saw some pictures inside the arena during the French Open. The stadium is so compact. I am sure those who are seated at the highest elevation (CAT 3) would probably be unable to see the nearside baseline.
yeah thx Tom, it's my bad... Bercy it's 18.000 when Muse, RATM are playing for a gig but when it's basketball/handball you're right it's 14000/15000 seats ! and now for Coubertin I find that : 3936p for basketball or 4016 for handball, I guess that is pretty similar for badminton...
I am thinking of going...... I have just been to Birmingham for AE2010 and it was great! Are all the tickets sold out already?
not yet but... THE CATEGORIES 1/2 alrready sold out by the way, the arena is very compact and you'll see very well if you are in cat3 (i'll buy my ticket tomorow in cat3 and have already been at this arena for FO 2007/2008/2009)
Here's the ticketing info.. ..glad you enjoyed the AE.. For this yr's WC tickets, yes the Cat. 1/2 Daily tickets are sold out for now. But they will put up new Quotas for Cat. 1/2 on May 4th.
