Big fat zero for me too.
I'm surprised not to get the rowing tickets I applied for. Thought that would've been unlikely to sell out this time.
Can't think that would have sold out, although I didn't think the BMX would have sold out but must have. They are still sorting out some payments before 10th June so fingers crossed. |

GreekStein and Claypole,
Did you only apply for "premium" events?

I applied for a big mixture. From premium events to stuff like weightlifting, volleyball and judo.

This is mainly what I was hoping for. I wanted to spend a day at the Aquatics centre and so applied for the 2 sessions on one day - in hindsight I should have applied for 20 sessions to try and get 2 of them and not bothered about exactly which ones. But that still might not have worked, I read this morning that in one of the diving finals in Sydney there were 14 tickets available at the cheapest price point, so it might only have been possible to get what I wanted by just being richer. |

I'd love to see the spread of tickets for the athletics sessions I applied for. I suspect that the 'affordable' spread they have been talking about so much won't apply to these tickets. For one of the sessions, I went for the 2nd most expensive seats - and was wiling to go down to the cheapest. I guess lots of others applied for the same.
It will also be interesting to see what the corporate allocation is for these events.

Thomas Cook and some other ticketing agency who do corporate hospitality type stuff are the only official re-sellers, i.e. the tickets they're selling were never in the general pool for everybody to buy. The corporate hospitality is very nice, I looked at the swimming events - my estimate is you get about £2-2.5k worth of stuff and pay £4.5k for it. I imagine their other tickets were similar. |

In a moment of stupidity I decided that there was a good chance I would get tickets for something if I applied for the finals of the canoe slalom, and I thought I would increase my chances if I applied for 2 days...and it would be even better if I put a range of ticket prices. Looking at that website I think there must be a good chance I got both days. Everything else I applied for looks like it has gone to the ballot.
Don't suppose anybody needs category A tickets for the canoe slalom either on the 1st or 2nd August 2012? Good GB medal chances!
Looking at how much I was charged (£940 or so from £7800 FWIW), I think there is a good chance I have got 2 lots of 3 tickets for the canoe slalom finals (1 lot of 3 going spare! I think I am definitely going to at least one) and I am hoping the rest is 3 for the mens 100m or the relays day at the end of the athletics. I know the mens 100m is more prestigous, but you get far more gold medals for you money with the relays day + an outside chance of a big GB medal. |

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

Checked my credit card account last night, just in case payment had gone out and I'd been allocated tickets late or something.
Spotted a 'ticket-sized' amount on my statement.
