Mr Tickle Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 A question. They are selling park tickets for a tenner. Morning/afternoon tickets then Evening tickets seperate. How can they get rid of the earlier people. Also if I have a morning session at a venue then want to stay in the park for the day, does that mean I will be turfed out?

Hobart Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 there is no way they can find the people that have morning tickets and kick them out. They just hope people will go after a few hours. I know they sold olympic park tickets for Sydney but not sure is the did a spacific time like London Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotosy Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Ukraine official resigns over ticket scandal A top official from Ukraine's National Olympic Committee has resigned over allegations he offered to sell thousands of dollars worth of tickets for the London Games on the black market. The committee said in a statement on Monday on its website (www.noc-ukr.org) that Volodymyr Gerashchenko, the general secretary and second highest-ranking official on the 149-member body, stepped down after an emergency meeting last Friday. ...

volshy Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 A question. They are selling park tickets for a tenner. Morning/afternoon tickets then Evening tickets seperate. How can they get rid of the earlier people. Also if I have a morning session at a venue then want to stay in the park for the day, does that mean I will be turfed out? An Olympic Park ticket is for ALL-DAY. Maybe refers to time of entry? Any one looking to trade tickets? I really would like to cheer on Team USA for basketball and other sports. Ryan - it;s illegal to "trade" Olympic tickets on the open-market in the UK as per the Olympic Tickets Act of 2006. However, a fair bit of SWAPPING is going on Twitter .... Anyone else interested should follow me @volshy Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tickle Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 John. I dont understand twitter at all. Its totally beyond me, I try but fail. Im after evening athletics tickets AT004. Just 2 tickets, what do I need to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volshy Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 John. I dont understand twitter at all. Its totally beyond me, I try but fail. Im after evening athletics tickets AT004. Just 2 tickets, what do I need to do Mate, it's very simple! Your "timeline" (wall?) is filled with tweets of those people you "follow" - if you follow me, stuff I say will appear on your timeline. That simple. If you tweet, then unless someone is following you, then no-one sees it. Very simply, it's just an incredible fast & public communication tool with very few if any barries (unlike facebook) - this makes the spreading of say Olympic Ticket info much easier. It's been fantasticaly powerful. I now have a lot of TeamGB athletes & journalists following me! I was even tweeting with drug-cheat Angelo Taylor yesterday (he was looking for AT1/4/7 tickets); The Secret Olympian (author of new book) also. And even Laura Trott's dad (who we're trying to help with tickets). And you probably know that we helped out Dai Greene, Zac Purchase & Mark Hunter, Anna Watkins, Geraint Thomas, Holly Bleasedale, Dani King - all from using Twitter. Anyway... AT004 - keep your eye out on http://www.billetterie-eventeam.fr/ for AT tickets - they had some AT004 yesterday... but it goes quickly! And there's always 'the List'... (swaps etc). Do you have anything worth swapping for AT004? General consensus is that France is sitting on a load of decent tickets and trying to make as much profit as possible by attaching hotels & ridiculous Club France hospitality package to their tickets - there are 2 sites: Eventeam2012.fr (minimum of hotel required) & billetterie-eventeam.fr (tickets only but also some ticket + Club France packages - not tooo bad but still steep). Of course - there are a load of other site as well ;-) Anyone interested - get on Twitter and follow me... @volshy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomberguy Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 If you want tickets/are looking for tickets, you simply must follow John aka @volshy. We are mere mortals in his presence, literally helped hundreds of people find tickets (as well as the rest of the 2012 tweeps crew. I got on to Twitter after volshy came onto this forum. I have tickets for most days of the Games now. And there is still time to get tickets, just need to be on your toes and always keep an eye out on Twitter.

Mr Tickle Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I think its the fast paced nature of it that frustrates me. I tried the french site and the hotel add on took it out of my price range.

If I could still niminate you to carry the torch I would, actually you should light the cauldron : ) I will keep trying, it worked today as you saw, I won Water Polo tickets Yay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobart Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 be nice if people can let us know when you get your tickets in the mail.

FDLondon Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 They may be being sent out alphabetically. I know three people whose tickets have arrived. All their surnames are between A and D. The A got them at them at the end of last week, the D got them on Friday. The others I know with tickets (H through S) don't yet have them.
