London 2012 Olympics Tickets

It would appear that we got dick all. Fucking cuntcarpets.

Yes! 4 tickets to the wrestling.

Best event in my estimation

Got something.

Not opening ceremony. Please be cycling not diving!

International pariah Colonel Gadafi can get fucking tickets, yet many London residents (many of who are paying towards the costs of the damn thing) can't!

Fuck you LOCOG.

I am going to what ever event i have won dressed as Gadafi

Did anyone get tickets?

Fuck you LOCOG.

they've allocated him tickets but aren't gonna give them to him so hopefully they'll put them up for sale!

Tickets in the dictators box will be expensive.

i know not ticket related but has any one seen this: http://www.londoncyclist.co.uk/news/record-fines-of-200-for-cyclists-using-olympic-vip-lanes/

it's true apprently, cyclists will be made to ride in the middle of the road and be underpassed by traffic - sounds dangerous to me.

I must admit that it continues to surprise me that people are still surprised by this (not that I'm assuming you're surprised, Andy), given that the same kind of disgusting corruption and general wrongness happens around every single Olympics.

you needn't be surprised by something to mention it

Yes, I'm not saying that Andy was surprised. I've talked to plenty of people who are, though.

It's the old concept of the travelling circus taken to an extreme. There was always a tension between circuses being resented (outsiders always had all sorts of bad things attributed to them) and people's desire to see the show.

The Olympics should build permanent, deluxe venues in one city and then hold the Olympics there at a permanent home every four years. The current method of raiding huge amounts of public funding in cities around the world to build white elephants is simply disastrous.

I live on one of the roads that is most heavily restricted. It's one lane each direction, so presumably the entire thing will be given over to the Olympics. So, I won't be allowed to cycle to and from my own home? And if I do, I can be fined £200? And I'm paying for this right? Awesome.

Fucking olympics can fuck off.

(Here's hoping I can sublet the flat and make a small fortune and get as far away from London as possible. This is worse than a pope visit and royal wedding combined).

Due to the overwhelming demand for tickets, we are sorry that you have not been allocated the tickets you requested. We can confirm that we have not taken any payment from you.

Demand for tickets greatly exceeded supply in the sessions and price categories you applied for. Where sessions were oversubscribed, we undertook a random ballot to allocate tickets in the fairest possible way. We had applications for more than 20 million tickets, seeing huge demand across many sports. Two-thirds of all price categories were oversubscribed and went to ballot.

Exclusive opportunity

We would like to invite you to take advantage of an exclusive opportunity to purchase some of the remaining tickets, in advance of those customers who were allocated tickets in the initial application phase.

From 6am on 24 June until 6pm on 3 July 2011 you will be able to request some of the remaining tickets on the London 2012 ticketing website

These tickets will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. They cover a great range of Olympic sports including Athletics, Basketball, Football, Handball, Hockey and Volleyball. Download the full list of available sports

During this second chance sales window you will only be able to submit one application, and you will be able to apply for a maximum of three sessions. Once you submit, you will receive an email confirming your application. We will then advise you which tickets you have been allocated within 24-48 hours, subject to successful payment. All payments will be taken between 4 and 7 July 2011.

We very much hope you will take advantage of this exclusive ticket offer so you can still be a part of the greatest show on earth.

I don't intend to stay at the hotel and have just paid £300 over the face value, but I want to go to the olympics in my town.

Enjoy.

They must have some really slow process of getting these emails out. I figured I didn't get any tickets weeks ago.
