French Open organizers screw fans

[yisman]

They moved DP/Djokovic to another court because Tsonga/Wawrinka was running long, and the organizers won't allow the fans who had tickets expecting to see Djokovic, to come to the other court and watch.

There's basically a riot going on. Djokovic has already complained about all the noise.

Leave it to the French to fukk it up. I'd riot too.

[yisman]

I would stand there for a while and then leave, and then try to sue the bastards.

They're basically robbing the fans by not letting them watch what they paid for.

They have guards out there to prevent people from getting in, even though there's a ton of empty seats due to the venue change.

The ATP should get involved. They market themselves as fan-friendly and they're going to let one of their majors prevent people from watching a premier match? Djokovic/Del Potro was the clear headliner of the day, and the one people wanted to see.

They really messed up putting mens matches back to back on center court

[yisman]

Yeah I was thinking about that earlier. Men's major matches often last over 3 hours, and can easily go over 4. So you can't schedule two of them on the same court, really.

I was wondering how they were going to work that when the announcers during the Tsonga match said they were moving Djoko/del Potro to another court.

Those fans are insane enough as it is when watching a Frenchie play. Not a smart move to screw them over.

I'd be pissed too.

What a game so far It sucks that it will probably be finished tomorrow (if JMDP wins this set)... And yeah so stupid to schedule both men's matchs at the end of the day, I didn't understand those french organizers when I looked at the schedule yesterday evening.

[Tsonga]

Would it kill them to put some lights on the main courts?

They plan on doing it soon but seriously should have been done awhile ago.

Dumb french fukkers...Now I know why they cant win a goddam war without help.

[blackbeSSt]

Yeah it's completely dark in Central Europe now and the French Open is the only Grand Slam event without lights or indoor stadium..

They are just the cheapest bastardos around. If the French government promised every war volunteer a free room and board for life, France would demolish Germany in WWII lol

Actually I like it this way. Old style, just the way it was fifty years ago. It's nice to see some things traditional, that is until you have money on the game that's delayed

Couldn't have said it better myself. Who wouldn't be pissed after paying what is probably a ridiculously over-inflated price for the tickets only to find out that they are worthless. You gotta be kidding me?!
