    You could try suing the Chinese, South Korean and Indonesian Olympic Committees to get your money back, as you can hardly blame the London Olympic organisers for athletes refusing to play.

    They didn't refuse to play.

    Actually I bought tickets on Tuesday expressly in order to watch the Indonesian badminton team on Wednesday. They were disqualified and I didn't get to see them.

    Instead we watched the losing teams, who were frankly abject.

    Ripped off.

    £380 for 4 tickets.

    The OP and the poster above, this was not the fault of LOCOG. So how can you be entitled to a refund? This is down to the players from the countries

    @thelawnet, dont be finicky, you know exactly what zerog meant they rfused to play properly, if you bought the tickets explicitly to see them then I suggest changing you alleagiance as what they did was poor form and not in the spirit
