    no , too many matches playing at once, too much distraction from the other courts.

    thanks!
    what , you work on a sunday ! you got to book for all three days , watching the player progressing to the finals. Friday is 1/4 final and there are going to be some top/exciting matches there... Sat --1/2 final -there will be surprises (however I am not going on sat )

    Sunday --I dont want to hype it up but it is the Yonex 100th year celebration, it is going to be a party atmosphere . I am guessing there will be (special guests-TBC) ,signing sessions , freebies, free prize draw etc .........

    The tickets are going fast for this one ....Just grabbed a few today , decent seats location as well it is going to be a sell-out

    Just choose the match you want to watch. Usually, the first two days are not very crowded so you get to transfer seat.

    you should take a holiday and get a week off. The air tickets will be the cheapest in March and hotel is not expensive in Birmingham. It is a nice city to visit and there is London which is only 1.5hrs away on the train. There is Manchester thats an hour away as well (where you can visit one of the greatest football team in the world -Manchester City FC ) . You gotta be here since you have the money as well , is the 100th celebration . There are still tickets left (not many) and if you fly Emirates you get some leg-room there.

    Among the Super Series events, the All England is very strict on taking photos. The ushers are all over the place watching. No photo taking at all, not even using your cellphones. Most of the international tournaments would allow photo taking without flash.
