Hello all,

It has long been on my bucket list to attend a snooker tournament. I've been to exhibitions and seniors events before but always wanted to see competitive tournament play live, living in Scandinavia and with work/other commitments until now it has not been possible.

However, next month I'll be travelling to Hong Kong on holiday at the same time the Shenzhen Open is being played. I had planned on visiting Shenzhen during the trip anyway, but now I know the tournament is on I definitely want to try and go to it. Problem is, I can't find any tickets online, the WST ticket only seems to sell tickets to UK tournaments. Can anybody help to point me in the right direction? Attendance at the Chinese events always seems fairly low so I'm hopeful that it's not already sold out. Thanks in advance to anyone who can assist.

I'm travelling to Helsinki from Sweden next week for the first time, I'll be arriving around 10am Thursday and staying until Monday morning so I really have 4 days there. I already have a good idea of what I'd like to do, what I'm looking for is anybody who's been or who lives there to help me get a better idea of what day I should do each activity on, or if I should do them at all (open to recommendations). The plans I have in mind are listed below.

Suomenlinna

Day trip to Tallinn

Korkesaari Zoo

Sauna (Loyly or Allas are the ones I've looked at, happy to listen to recommendations)

Sightseeing cruise

Additionally I plan to eat out in the evenings and hopefully watch some World Cup football. So any bar/restaurant recommendations are also welcome.
