Glasgow welcomes the 2nd round of the 2012 -13 UCI Track Cycling World Cup presented by Samsung this November. Over 200 of the world’s very best riders from more than 30 nations will be back in Great Britain for the first time since the Olympics.

The world’s fastest riders will hotly contest the series which gives qualification to the 2013 Track Cycling World Championships and ultimately the chance to challenge for the honour of wearing the rainbow stripes.

Glasgow will host UCI World Cup racing for the first time in the brand new Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, a fantastic new facility freshly built for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Don’t miss the chance to see some of your Olympic cycling heroes and experience more scintillating track racing action.

Buy Tickets here

I have been trying to buy tickets since 2pm with no luck, I didn't think it would be that popular - all british cycling pre-sale tickets are now gone.

"Glasgow TWC update: Our exclusive allocation for BC members has now SOLD OUT. However, tickets go on general sale on Wednesday 22 August."

I just need to wait in line for the 22nd August...

Anyone going / already bought tickets?

Got 4 for the Sunday all-dayer.

What jabs do I need for Glasgae?

it should be a good week and good to get to see inside the new place.

I got 3 tickets for the Friday evening about an hour ago. Sat eve was defo sold out

General tickets are going on sale at 11am today.

I'm already logged in and patiently waiting...

As someone who has never set foot in a velodrome (I know!) can anyone suggest my best option for seating if I'm compromising price and position; somewhere before the start/finish line but further up the top?

4 Tickets for Sunday (all day) in the bag.

I can't get tickets for Saturday, they appear to be sold out.

Pressed to submit card details and it replied with "sorry...". Fuckers.

Managed to score some Friday evening tickets this morning. Seemed like it was selling out quickly, took a few attempts to get booked.

Got tickets for the Saturday night finals. Quite excited and pretty chuffed about the way it came about. Amazing really since I'd never thought I'd be able to drag the missus, even kicking and screaming, to a cycle event, but the way things have worked out was:-

-I suggest that she watch pre-olympic Pendleton human interest story documentary with me ("it'll be as much about her, her insecurities/relationship with her father and dealing with pressure as it is to do with cycling" says I).
-After documentary she wants to see how VP gets on at games.
-We watch start of track events together so she can see women's team sprint.
-To help her out I start explaining track racing, rules, tactics etc.
-She then wants to watch other track events and we watch all coverage.
-She hears about World Cup and suggests that we take a long weekend to along as she finds the idea of watching it live exciting and something she doesn't want to miss.
-I weep tears of joy.

Can't believe Hoy's not racing at his own 'drome. Lazy fucker..

He's peaking for the Olympics.

Hang on, I meant Commonwealth Games.

The Aussies can win the minor events.

"Tickets for the 2012 UCI Track World Cup Glasgow for all sessions except Friday daytime session have sold out."

FFS. I spent three hous trying to get tickets, despite succeeding to reserve a set (which subsequently had an error).

So, WTB: Glasgow Track Cycling Tickets

Looks like I may not be able to go after all :(

Will know for definite after the weekend, but if anyone missed out on tickets and would still like to go, check back here next week and I may have a couple up for grabs (2x Section P, Row I).

What days man?

Oops, sorry. Saturday night finals.

I will take these if there up for sale.

I want them.

I'm still looking for tickets if anyone has any. Those ones would have been perfect, but alas, I didn't see the post.

Four or five would be preferable.

Cheers,
