    Anyone else got the email about this today?

    Anyone know if it's actually on the pitch at the KC?

    Prices go from about £18 to £46, with the majority of the tickets being £25-30, if anyone fancies it.

    I dont know where it would be held, My first guess would be the arena, As it could be difficult to set up on the pitch, But the way the ticket sites read makes me think it will be on the pitch.

    I don't mind playing a bit of squash, Not sure what it's going to be like as a spectator sport though.

    I thought it was going to be in the arena, but the address shown for the event is the KC Stadium, so I assume it's actually on the pitch.

    Yes, it's on the pitch. If you hadn't been such a wuss and gone in to the lounge at the Wednesday match (I gave my pass to my dad, so was stuck!), there was a lovely video played on the big screen all about it.

    I gather its in front of the West Stand. The Ticketmaster seating plan shows our stadium seating plan and I only say the west stand for the sponsors and corporate seats etc.

    watching top quality squash is very very entertaining, and if you have ever played to a half decent standard, you will be in awe of these Premier Division athletes. For one I will be there, and recommend everyone to give it a go

    I play, But not to much of a standard, But I've never watched it live, I just imagine it being quite awkward to follow, But I'll go and see some of the matches, I have alot of respect for anyone who can play it well, So hopefully It should be a good few days.
