Having difficulty in getting any day passes/tickets for any event this week as apparently everything is sold out despite the empty seats in evidence on Saturday night (athletics) Any suggestions?

Not sure the empty seats in places like the Excel are because tickets cover multiple events. Has looked full up until the end when people start driffting off after the big events.

Good Luck - site is free and loads are released returned through out the day and night (lots of people get them post midnight as less are trying).

Once you get into the Olympic Park, you might find that there are a few events tickets available on a Pay On The Gate basis. Not at all events, but at some.
Even if you only get Olympic Park admission, it's well worth going.

My boss went online on Thursday and managed to pick up two tickets for yesterday (2nd row from the front next to the flame - bloomin hot there apparently) - the secret is just to keep going on line apparently ....

However this free site lets you know within seconds when any ticket(s) become avalible, so hopefully increases your chances. However I did bag my olympic stadium tickets by pure repition one Tuesday afternoon.

We've got tickets for the track and field finals on Saturday but am hoping to pick some up for the wheelchair rugby in the afternoon.
Re day passes, I believe tickets for any event in the Olympic park automatically qualify you for all day access.

It does seem a bit random. I went to the Athletics on Saturday morning and it was a real struggle to get any tickets online for any event on any day, I used the 2012TicketAlert on Twitter to let me know when any tickets became available, but even so it took me several days of trying to get anything. Yet on Saturday morning the stadium clearly wasn't sold out but perhaps because the tickets were relatively cheap people bought them on the off-chance but weren't committed to definitely going?
I've also go tickets for Goalball tomorrow and that includes a Day Pass but doesn't give access to all the other venues in the Park - it only gives access to the Riverbank Arena (5-a-side football) and Eton Manor (wheelchair tennis) although I think there are probably different categories of Day Passes which give access to different venues. On Saturday as we were walking round the Park after the Athletics there were plenty of electronic signs and Games Makers with megaphones advising whether there was room at particular venues for Day Passes although in most cases the advice was that the venues were already full so even having a Day Pass doesn't seem to guarantee you will get in to a venue and only guarantees you entry to the Park itself!

something clever
That's the unfortunate downside of offering cheap tickets. People aren't as incentivised to actually attend.

fwiw, yesterday at the Olympic Park, I saw a few electronic signs up saying 'day pass - seats available' with reference to specific venues - Copper Box (for goalball) included but can't remember which others. So if you have a day pass (as opposed to a ticket for specific event on the site, eg cycling at Velodrome), there seem to be plenty of options.
