Tickets already available for World Open Squash 2011

 

Tournament promoter Tommy Berden has launched the start of the ticket sales for the World Open Squash 2011, exactly eighteen months before the biggest ever squash championship commences in the Dutch city of Rotterdam. From today (April 28th) it is possible to order tickets for the most important championship in 2011 on the Professional Squash Association (PSA) and Women’s International Squash Players’ Association (WISPA) World Tours.

 

"The response from squash enthusiast all over the world was overwhelming after we announced that the World Open will take place next year in the spectacular Luxor Theatre in Rotterdam," said Berden. "On the first day we received so many requests for tickets, that we decided to start the ticket sales much earlier than normal. There is still a year and a half to go before the first ball is struck, but this clearly doesn’t stop the real squash fans in their desire to reserve their seats now," concluded the 31-year old former Dutch champion.

 

At the beginning of February, tournament organizer NextSquash and tournament partners Squash Bond Nederland and Rotterdam Topsport announced at a press conference that the renowned Luxor Theatre was to play host to the World Open Squash 2011 for the last four days of the championship, which is being played from October 28 to November 6. The early stages of the championship will be played at Victoria Squash, one of the most successful squash clubs in the Netherlands. The official individual world championship for men and women will feature a total prize fund in excess of US$400,000 - a record in squash.

 

Tickets for the World Open Squash 2011 are now for sale through the official tournament website www.worldopensquash2011.com. Prices for the matches at the Luxor Theatre vary between 10 and 30 Euros apiece, while admission to the early rounds at Victoria Squash is free.
