Managed to get a swimming ticket to complete my Olympic decathlon. Thanks for the tip off as I would have missed this otherwise. For me the main olympic sports are swimming and athletics so to get one of the two finishes off things nicely. Most looking forward to the mens tennis final though!

I was planning to take in the cycling time trial as a free event near to Hampton Court as one of my events. The cycling maps are here...

Ticket Shipping...

We know that LOCOG is shipping tickets and we already start sharing information on when we have received our precious access passes....

But let share information from the several ATRs around the world regarding tickets' shipping...

- I just had information from Dertour saying they will start sending tickets at the end of the month and that everyone will have received their orders before mid july !

- Regarding CoSport, no idea as I will pick my tickets in London (but in due time let share information on the collection points !)

- Regarding Eventeam... i still don't know what i choosed... to receive them or to collect them ! Any information ?

OMG got Heptahlon finals today, totally stoked.

That was top of my wish list for London. A category A came up on Cosport several months ago. Threw it in my cart and spent an agonizing 20 minutes deciding what to do. Eventually I rationalized that (1) I've been pretty thrifty with this trip so far and (2) if Jessica Ennis can pull it off, it'll be a truly magical night. Sucked it up and bought it.

Let's hope she comes through! Mo Farah is running the 10k that night to, so a couple chances for British gold.

Cosport (USA) just sent out an email saying (1) they have tickets and (2) tickets will be mailed late June / early July. Tickets will be sent requiring a signature. Last chance to change mailing info is something ilke June 11.

Ticketmaster hates me. Was on from 11am through to 12 trying various combinations of lots of things and got precisely nothing. DIdn't even just try the cheapest category Ds. Ah well... I do have quite a few tickets but it would have been nice to have an athletics or a cycling. Hey ho... if it's meant to be, I'll get hold of one somehow!

From LOCOG website :

As with any delivery that needs to be signed for, if no one is at home a card will be left giving instructions on your next steps along with your tracking number and a contact phone number. You will have the option to arrange a redelivery to the address on your ticketing account or to collect from your local depot. You will not be able to arrange a delivery to a different address.

I just got the first bunch of all my tickets - I suppose I have to catch some up when I arrive in London

The other tickets you are waiting for, are they from LOCOG too ?

Did you not pay for additional shipping costs for those tickets ?

Any opening ceremony? :)

I am willing to swap my £185 SW004B swimming finals ticket for a £20.12 opening ceremony, no change needed. Will do anything to see the opening ceremony in person as long as it's not overtly expensive. :)
