So, has anyone got tickets?

I have, they're not what I wanted but at least it's something.

Did anyone get anything they actually wanted?

Hope... got some volleyball tickets and lots of sour grapes. Really frustrated by the arrogance and incompetence of the organisers with the ticketing process. I'm just as much to blame for applying and re-applying, but they just rely on public enthusiasm and do nothing to earn it.

In contrast, as much as I hate this multi-national propagating sponsorship machine associated with the Olympics, you can't help but admire the structures they are creating. An amazing achievement in terms of design, organisation and construction.

Applied for 6 events and got 1: Synchronised swimming! Yay! Quite excited actually, very priviledged to have gotten something. I am also going to try and get more in the re-sale, when the website is back up...!

Synchronised swimming will be awesome!

It always feels like the Olympics when you see that on the TV as you never really see it at any other time of year. That and judo.


I've got quite a few friends that are really into sports who applied for loads of tickets and didn't get anything. Then I've got another couple of friends who couldn't care about Olympics - they applied, just for a laugh and got men's 100m sprints tickets!

I'm sure there must be a deal to be done there - the latter friends could do quite well out of the former! ;)

I didn't apply for any, not interested in the Olympics at all.
However my sports mad 11 year old is desperate to go to..... anything :laugh:
His uncle has tickets to something, not sure what but he's hoping he'll take him with him.
He keeps asking me to win tickets :smug:

I'm sure there'll be loads of comps to win tickets over the next few months so keep your eyes peeled I guess... will let you know if I spot anything!

Bound to be comps coming up on the London radio stations at some point.

After all the effort involved in getting them, I may be selling my volleyball tickets - the guy I got them for because he's sports mad can't go by the looks of it, so any last bit of enthusiasm I had has been lost :cry:
