Olympics tickets

[Jon H]

Who's applied for tickets?

I've stuck an application in for a couple of velodrome sessions (4th & 5th August afternoon) and a couple of athletics sessions (4th Aug morning & 6th August evening).

Otherwise, freebie sessions at Box Hill for the road race and Kingston for the time trials.

[Mike I]

Got mine in - a couple of track sessions, BMX, swimming, athletics, diving, horse stuff for Mrs I, hockey, basketball and, er, some beach volleyball .

That's next year's summer holiday budget spent then .

[Grahame]

I'm refusing to give any more money than is absolutely necessary to the drug abusers' sports fortnight.

I may go to see the road races and time trials, but only in the non-ticketed areas.

wiff waff

What's the betting we only get the ping pong tickets whatever should be fun - see you lucky winners there

[Roy Green]

We've gone for Athletics (a middle-distance semis session, Swimming ( hopefully a Rebecca Adlington event session) and Tennis (for Jean) - couldn't enthuse her about the Beach Volleyball. Wot, no track cycling? No, because the only reasonably priced sessions are a.m. early-rounds sessions lasting just 1-1/2 hours. There'll be lots of other big events held at that velodrome for a while to come, with the same top riders.

This way, I reckon we'll sample the Olympics atmosphere, with, naturally, also freebie views of the Road Race, TT, Marathon and anything else going on that's free. That's if we get picked in the draw anyway. Already been on a tour round the site on Hackney Marshes. Seems that things are so well advanced that, at a push, they could run some things this summer, certainly the track cycling.

I applied for about a grand's worth and got none.

Apparently they are releasing more tickets but I'm told they are mostly for the football

Looks like its the road race and TT for me

Nowt.
Although with the money I've saved I will be able to buy lots of beer and pringles for consumption while watching it on TV.
