RAW and Smackdown! in the UK officially announced

[Team Sheep]

So they officially announced on RAW that the WWE will be returning to the UK this April, with RAW taking place on the 25th and Smackdown! taking place on the 26th, both at the NEC Arena in Birmingham. I've looked on WWE.com and on the NEC Arena website and nothing seems to be up yet in regard to ticket sales and such, so I made this thread to discuss everything about the shows and updates on the ticket release dates, etc..

[Dave Youell]

I wont be going this time, for the money I paid it's not worth it

Coventry Skydome?

Wow, I even know how to get to that one as well.

[Jonster]

Also will probably go to one of the shows at the NEC as it's a short train journey away.

I'll definetely be going to atleast one of the shows. I missed out on the RAW and Smackdown in October because I'd already bought tickets for the Wembley show. I'd love to go to a televised event.

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Definately going to RAW again, Birmingham is much nearer too. :cool:

Just a question for people who went before, it says the show starts at 7:30pm, does that include heat and dark matches?

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Last time went somewhat like this:

7:30 Light, Sound and camera checks
8:00 Dark match/Heat taping
9:00 Raw begins
11:00 Raw Finishes

[Team Sheep]

ok cheers

[Synergy]

Will Sky be showing Raw live as it happens on the Monday night then?

Or will they insist on sticking it on at the time it would be "live" in America (i.e. 2am)?

[Team Sheep]

So who's going to which? I'll most probably be going to both, but if not I'll definately be going to atleast one. Going for the £60 tickets both times. I've saved up my birthday money for this :cool: How about the rest of you?

Definatly going for the £60 for both.
The tickets arn't up on any outlets yet, they definatly were the week before the on-sale date last time.

[Team Sheep]

Yeah it is rather weird. There's nothing about it up on the NEC Arena website :-\

[Team Sheep]

All the £60 tickets were sold out when I finally got through this morning :( So I had to go for a pair of the third priced tickets for RAW, which are at the rear of the arena floor. Meh atleast I'll be there :D Any of you booked yours yet?

[Jonster]

Block B, Row C, Seats 9-11 for Raw.
Had a friend on the inside :D

[Tornado]

Took me 45mins to get through, which isn't too bad I suppose, I got tickets for both, can't recall the seat and row numbers though....:$

Raw - Block G
Smackdown - Block B

[Team Sheep]

I'm block K, row D, seats 20-21. Me and my dad had a phone each and were ringing non-stop for ages but engaged every time. So we decided to try the internet, and although the server was pretty slow (as you can imagine) we got there in the end.

[Jacko]

I just strolled on 10 minutes ago, and they're all gone :/

I'll be going to the house show (In London) unless more become available.

NEC doesn't fit enough people. :n:

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Just bought my ticket direct from the NEC Arena.

THANKS TORNADO :cool:

[Jonster]

TPWW meet up volume 2.

[Danny Electric]

I can't afford to go but live in Walsall so it would have been perfect for me. Oh well.
