Hello Everyone, Anyone in this forum going to Athens Olympics 2004? I'm planning to go to Athens. The badminton is scheduled between 14th August 2004 to 21st August 2004. I'm not sure yet but I may want to go early dates (14-17) or (18-21) based upon the avaliability of tickets. I would love to see qf, sf and finals but not sure whether I will get tickets. If anyone from badminton forum travelling to athens then maybe we should all meet together and watch the match as a group (ie. BadmintonForum.com Users Group) Maybe we should give it a nice name. We should take this oppurtunity and request players and other badminton fans to hang out in badmintonforum.com forum. We will increase the popularity of badmintonforum.com (ofcourse with approved permission from badmintonforum.com owner's) and get lots of badminton players, fans, coach etc from all over the world to hang out in these forum. There is no better place to meet different people from different countries other than olympics. What do you ladies and gentlemen think? I'm sure it will be great fun We will form a group and make sooooo much noice in the stadium the media should turn their attention towards us and say few words about our Badmintonforum.com goshh!! I'm so drunk now. Maybe all the things I typed now may not make any sence when I wake up in the morning hey why don't we make it "badmintonforum.com badders party" Sure we all badders will look after each other and make it as much fun as possible cheers sunny
if only i can go... i have schoooooll!!! oh nooo!!!!!!!!!plus..athens is waay too far from jakarta..but when tc/uc is held here, i waste the chance to watch em in istora senayan..huff...
i think this is a great idea - well - at least for the european members on the forum - since we are the closest, be a chance to have a weeks hols in greece, on top of that it would be much easier all travelling and holidaying in the same area - hehe - we could have a badders forum restricted olympics competition. as always i'm sure there will be tickets available for some of the days. (since baddy never sells out ) spose all it comes down to is budget really.. oh - and who can get the time off work
wow... tat's too far for me must be very expensive if wanna go over..... i'm just a poor little office gal i guess the most i can only travel within asia
My coach is going for ten days. Annoyed me because I'll miss coaching for that period Whatever will I do with myself?
Hi Sunny Great idea! But where will you be staying? Is it possible to arrange for interested BFers to stay together as well, somewhere near the stadium where badminton will be held? Then we will really have a good time together. Of course we will need to fix a date which should preferably be closer to the badminton quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals.
Coach said that everywhere is charging quite a bit more whilst the olympics are on. Expected I guess, but makes going out there quite a pricey affair.
HeYyY Don't you realize?? LooL this is the olympics games!! all air-ticket are taken =p (or if you'r lucky lol) they said yesterday on tv they wait more than 3 500 000 spectator. i think you should take your ticket there is one year. but you can search on the net a youth hostel near athen.
you'r right lol i just search now on the net an air-ticket for athens EVERYTHING IS TAKEN!!! lol if you want i can walk with u hahhahaha if you are lucky we will arrive the 14th hahhaha
There are plenty of tickets and plenty of flights available sharon. I just had look at expedia.co.uk and price starts from £207.00. But the only disadvantage is they are not direct flight. I found this flight as an example £203.90 15:25 Depart London (LHR) Arrive Athens (ATH) 22:50 Mon 16-Aug Duration: 5hr 25mn Lufthansa 4757 / 3394 Connect in Munich (F. J. Strauss Flughafen Munchen) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 08:20 Depart Athens (ATH) Arrive London (LHR) 14:05 Sun 22-Aug Duration: 7hr 45mn Lufthansa 3395 / 4756 Connect in Munich (F. J. Strauss Flughafen Munchen)
I'm still looking for accomadation. I found details of flights, found details of tickets but accomadation seems to be a bit tough. There are still lots of accomadation available but they are expensive. I'm looking for all price ranges. Will let you all know
