Anyone applied for tickets?

Hubby and i have gone for a day of athletics and the trampolining. Hopefully we shall be succssesful in our application...

Refused to on principle. You HAVE to have a Visa (I already do but that's not the point). You HAVE to buy all of the tickets that you bid for should all your bids be successful (given that people will pad out their bid expecting not to be successful with every one) and that it's being held in the arsehole of London (scratch that; it's being held in the arsehole of the entire UK).

I do agree the insistence on Visa is odd and i know people that have spent over £1000 on various tickets because of not being guaranteed to get them all... Personally, i'm not THAT desperate to go that i would do that. Theres always quality athletics on at Crystal Palace every July for which its easy (and cheap) to get tickets. Yes, it would be nice to see the Olympics but not at any cost. Not hopeful on getting the athletics tickets (want to see Idowu in the Triple Jump) but reckon we should be able to get the trampolining ones as thats more of a minority sport...

I wanted to watch Basketball, but you only pay for a session and day, and there's no guarantee who you'll watch. So for the price of seeing the superstars of Team USA I could end up watching Lithuania vs Greece. That doesn't work for me sadly.

Rest of it I'm not arsed about. It'll be one of them that anyone in London will feel like the whole country is enjoying the event with them, and everyone else thinks London's titting about as usual spending our tax money.

F*ck em.

I have no love lost for Manchester, but the sneering from down south when they went for it could be heard up here.

I think London will only be satisfied when every c*nt is living and working there. But then they won't be.

In fact, if you could caricature bloodyf*ckingbastardingnoncingLondon, it would be a small child having a tantrum on the floor of the sweet shop because it wants everything.

Not that I've owt against it or anything.

Don't care for London, so won't be going.

With the amount of taxpayers money the labour party commited us to pay out for this lot (including all the hidden "inferstructure cost" for a part of London only the natives know exists) it should be FREE!!!!

No, it was outrageously overpriced

Good. The more people think this the more chance I have of getting to see the events I want.

How was that my 1001st post? On a Bolton site?!

Applied for 9 events, got nowt, not happy. Now they say more than half the people who applied didn't get any tickets & the organisers are happy with that FFS.

No

Which is a shame, would have been awesome to take our younger athletes up to see some of the T&F.
