Olympic Ticket Watch

Nothing for me.

I'm not at all surprised I didn't get cycling or athletics but I did expect either archery or equestian surely they were not over subscribed

 

[Davey Boy Smith]

Likewise nothing for me either. Athletics, rowing and cycling needed a bit of luck but thought I'd have got tickets for boxing and handball oh well.

126 out of 730 for me

...although I guess they're not too bad since that the day of the mens 4s final. Only 1 event though - time to get onto the Germany/Denmark sites.

You can legitimately buy from Denmark's ticket allocation here again now - they're reopened their shop - some decent athletics and diving events available it seems

They have some VERY good athletics tickets including £50 tickets for quite a few finals nights.

 

[Jello]

was hopeful when I saw my account had dropped £600 but was mortgage, so looks like I've got nothing.
Just bought two tiks from Bozza's website, though they do charge a hefty handling charge but fingers crossed.

Hmm, can't seem to buy through that site;

Sorry chaps - I got on and ordered some athletics finals tickets that were showing as 'available'. That message indicates I won't actually get them.

 

[The Merry Prankster]

£746 out of £1500. Result by the look of things.

 

[Simster]

Nothing out of £500, and most of those were for lesser sessions.

Pissed off.

 

[Eastleigh Seagull]

Sum total of sod all from £500 as well - does seem a little odd as I didnt think badminton would be packed to the rafters (the whole 500 quid wasnt on badminton but that was the banker to make sure we saw something)

Right not gonna read all this but out of interest did ANYONE who played the game "honestly" so to speak (i.e. only applied for a couple of tickets for one or two events - £50-£150 which if they were on general sale they'd have gone for) get lucky? Seems to me the only people who've been successful applied for have got 1/3 of the £500+ they went for...

£126 / £3500 is some way short of your third.

(And we did play 'honestly' - we'd have made the Olympics our holiday next year)

I suspect what we will find out, in due course when the 2nd round sale happens, is that low level pricing tickets for a lot of low-key events have gone, leaving some ridiculously-over-priced ones left for those who want to try and just see something.

 

[Bozza]

Did I close this? Wasn't intentional!

Applied for £1500ish in total - mainly velodrome, 1 athletics session, 1 swimming session, 1 BMX and both ceremonies (2 tickets for everything). Had £46 taken yesterday.

I class this as completely honest as they were mostly £20-£50 with some higher price cycling tickets applied for too, and I can actually explain a Points Race and Madison. I could even have a fair crack at explaining the Omnium! I also didn't 'double-book' anything.

Not sure what I'll be seeing, but there's some free stuff I'll be at anyway (Cycling road race, Time Trial, Triathlon and Marathon).
