Congrats to anyone who got them but I thank the great ticket god in the sky that he gave me my glasto ticket rather than the olympics tickets that I applied for.

Supposedly 2.3 milion tickets left, 1.7 million of which are for football. I'll stick to watching it on telly and seeing the torch go past where we live.

If people really want to see top class athletics it does happen regularly outside the olympics.

I got £360 worth of tickets ( applied for £1500 worth, knowing full well I wouldn't get the lot ) It's a joke though that I don't know what for yet whilt they took the money out of my account late May.

Still, it will get me into the Holland House which will be at Alexandra's Palace - it'll be so popular you can't get in if you can't show a ticket for an olympic event ( and a Dutch Passport ofcourse!!! )

I posted this on another Olympic related thread. If you were unsuccessful in getting tickets, they are introducing a reselling website next year for people unable to attend their ticketed event (it is ages away, I don't know what if I'll even be in the country on the day of my event).

People can sell their tickets on a first come first serve basis on this site & they can only be purchased for face value.

If more people knew this then I wouldn't be seeing so many people moaning about not getting tickets.

There'll be plenty on the black market anyway.

There are still some cool tickets available. I'll be going there around 5 aug to see (hopefully) Paula win the marathon. I might also get tix to see wrestling/judo (cos i'm into MMA), and i'd quite like to see some hockey too - cos it's like footy with sticks, innit?

Gutted that there's not many beach volleyball tix left :angry:

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
