doublecross Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I received my first tickets in the post on Friday - hooray! The largest numbers on the ticket seem to be the date (in August - e.g. a large '17') and an event code. This event code seems to be different from the ones everyone is using at the moment. For example, men's volleyball quarterfinals 1 and 2 are known as VO33, whereas on the ticket they are called T32 (although it does say VO33 in small writing at the bottom). I wonder why.

The V is for the venue where it is. So is A for the National stadium and S for the shunyi rowing park and B for the National indoor stadium. The number I don't know exactly, it starts not always with 1, but the numbers counts on.. so if VO33 is T32, VO34 have to be T33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
