TIA

Am keen too find this out too. Got one set of tickets in the first round and want a load more.

It should be in the last week of June, but you'll only be able to apply if you got nothing in the first round.

I was away and didnt realise the deadline came up.

Ideally I'd like to get two tickets for the opening ceremony. My mother went to the one in 1948 as a little girl, so ideally I'd like to try and get two and take her.

Initially someone mentioned £1000 per ticket, but I've also heard £2012 each. I'd probably pay £5k for two tickets, after that it's silly(well it's silly anyway).

They're bound to go on auction sites at some point. But when?

Openining Ceremony is background telly. Watch a bit of it and then it gets a bit boring watching athletes walk into a stadium. Most I would pay to go and watch that would be around £50 a ticket.

Thomas Cook are selling Opening ceremony breaks. It'll cost you £6.5k each though.

Linky

I doubt you'll get them any other way.

If I want to watch anything I will try and get tickets on the day. Last time I paid over the odds for tickets to a sporting event it rained and touts were stood outside trying to shift for £5 what I had paid £90 for.

I think they said the Opening Ceremony won't be in the second round ticket allocation as they are all gone.

Most of the tickets have gone for all the decent events to fat cat CEOs.Everybody who I know that applid for tickets didn't get any.

We think we got two tickets but don't know what event they are for. I'm guessing that there may be some more tickets available after the test events have been run (won't apply to the events in the Olympic stadium though)

You can also see the marathon and road cycling for nothing.
