The Olympics

[herbie]

10 arrests yesterday outside the stadium, some for touting.. max fine £20k... it's disgusting empty seats.... I want to take the kids to see the archery

[superfrank]

i've always thought that touts provide a valuable service.

Was there not a selection 'Any Other Runner'?

No there was no any other option,
just another huge Betfair cock up ,

We created the Men’s Olympics Cycling Road Race market on 20th July from the official London 2012 website, which at that point did not show Alexandre Vinokourov as a listed competitor. The market remained ‘incomplete’ allowing us to add any further runners on request. We did not receive any requests for Vinokourov to be added, but when it became apparent that he was in a two-man breakaway group towards the latter stages of the race, we added him into the market (approximately 5km from the finish).

Once again, lots of empty seats on Centre Court.

This Olympics will be remembered for total incompetence with regards to the distribution of tickets, which is a great shame

Looking good in the cycling at the moment, Wiggins is flying!

Great gold this morning as well!

[andyfuller]

What a race!

Gold for Wiggins and Bronze for Froome!!!!!!!

Looking like Redgrave could lose his top spot!

[Euler]

Great race, much more entertaining than Goodwood!

[Euler]

Looks like Team GB are somehow going to stumble into the quarters of the football.

[andyfuller]

Another good day, looking like we could be getting gold in the Clays!

[andyfuller]

Might have spoken too soon, just missed two shots

[andyfuller]

GET IN!!!!!

3rd Gold of the games! Great shooting!!!!!

[andyfuller]

Bring on the Judo at 4pm for Gold number 4!

[andyfuller]

Didn't need to wait for the Judo, another Gold and a silver in the men's canoe slalom!

[Euler]

Did you get any tickets to anything?

[andyfuller]

Yes, was at the hockey on Tuesday for China v Belgium which was a good game despite a 0-0 score and then we didn't realise we got a second game as well and that was Team GB v South Korea which we won.

The atmosphere was brilliant and looking around the park was great.

Back there again on Tuesday for the athletics in the evening but I am going to go early and spend the whole day there watching the big screen action.

It was really straight forward getting in, took no time at all, getting the armed forces in was the best thing they ever did. They aren't allowed to have attitude with you and the organisation was top rate.

Make sure you take your own food or it will cost you a fortune! Also take in some empty drinks bottle to fill up with water.

Going to spend the whole of next week in London and hopefully get some more tickets for the other days and then think I will go back for the Paralympics.

What did you get tickets for in the end? 100m final is one of them isn't it? Lucky git
