I think the trick is to not even bother with
1) cheap seats
2) the weekend

it's just impossible to get stuff then.

Just requested two £150 tickets for tomorrow night. "It will take 15 minutes to check availability..." I know what's going to happen now. Been in this position about ten times already.

I know. Go for a daytime session next week, at the £100+ price, you'll get it unless it's got like 100m final or something.

Also, I'm finding the tickets go up just after 10pm (in the UK) every night (well, the last 2 nights) once a batch sells. I saw the latest lot about 2hours, 10 minutes prior to this post, if that helps you get a bead on the time.

They're obviously holding them up so they can say they've sold new ones daily. I've made the mistake of going for cheap and obviously popular times, and even though I must have been one of the first, I still didn't get them - just the 'wait X minutes' jive each time.

Cheers for the tips, db. Actually I'm just trying to get a couple of tickets for my ma and her partner, both from London and neither on the internet. If I hadn't had such a **** year financially I'd probably just go for the £450 ones. Would be nice to surprise them. I feel like such a failure, like I fail at every other ****ing thing I ever do.

Looks like the Olympic Village has some hanky-panky going on. Bet them athletes can screw for hours on end before breaking a sweat.

btw, similar to Zeno, I have not watched a second of the Olympics this year either. Life is good.

I watched the girl's gymnastics.


That's all I'm going to say.

nothing wrong with that. was good ****. I was so confused at the end though. I thought that russian girl completely nailed her routine. I was watching the stream and the announcer didn't really frame the moment correctly. it was basically impossible for russian girl to win at the end there
