We are at a 10am session, so plan on getting there ( by Javelin) nice and early. Is there a Wetherspoons or similar near the park so we could get a good breakfast before we go in?

Still waiting for Olympic tickets :s
Is anyone still waiting for their Olympic tickets to arrive? I managed to get some in the 4th round of resales and they've not turned up yet, however the ones I ordered after that and my paralympic tickets have all arrived. Does anyone know if there's a section on the website that tells you which of the tickets have been…

Food Prices in Park?
Hi Everyone I have a bit of a stupid question! My family are going to the Olympic Park tomorrow and they really want to go to Mcdonalds.

Olympic Park access with event ticket?
Hi all, We've been lucky enough to get tickets for an evening Athletics event and are wondering if we'll be able to go to the Olympic Park in the the morning and spend all day looking around, watching the big screens and just soaking up the atmosphere before we see the Athletics.

Para-Olympic Tickets
I bought Para-Olympic tickets to the athletics for myself and my boyfriend, however I have just found out I will not be able to go, but my boyfriend would still like to go with a friend. As the tickets are in my name, and I will be on a flight throughout the event, and therefore not contactable (as it states on their…

Question re seating at Aquatics Centre
Have finally secured tickets for the Paralympic swimming but our seats are in block 107(row 4, seats 159.160 and 161). These seats are by the diving pool, not the main pool -see link below. I'm concerned that the view will be poor - what do others think?…

Print at home tickets - giving them to a friend ok?
I've got some Paralympic tickets today but the person I had intended to take can't go. I have to wait 48 hours to put them on the resale site and by then it'll be less than 7 days before the event so I won't be able to use the resale site. I'm guessing with normal tickets, once you've got them you can give them to someone…

Thanks to the volunteer Games Makers and Troops
As this board is specifically for people going to the Olympics, I wondered if I could start a thread to say thanks to the volunteer Games Makers who are helping make the games so special and to our troops for keeping us safe. I went to archery at Lords this morning. The Games Makers lined the route from St John's Wood…

Olympic Souvenirs
Hello, I wondered if anyone had any good ideas for some Olympic souvenirs? I'm not looking for financial investments, just personal keepsakes. I've got the stamps, a friend and I split a set up (apologies to stamp collectors out there who may be offended by this) to make a presentation of all 29 in a frame each. I've got…

Paralympic Ticket problem
Hi everyone, Not sure if this is the correct place to post this but I purchased some paralympic opening ceremony tickets last week, but unfortunately I found out yesterday my nan is no longer able to attend due to an illness.

Paralympics
Hello, can anyone tell me how the paralympics will be different from the Olympics, apart from obviously the athletics have registered disabilities. I'm not a big fan of massive crowds so thinking I may try and get a ticket for this event instead? It would be good to see inside the Olympic Park, but will everything still be…

London Euston to Olympic Park
I'm staying at the Euston travel Inn the night before the paralympic games. According to the travel website I need to get a bus, then a tube and walk. Would it make more sense for me to walk to Kings Cross/ St Pancras and just get the javelin ( which I've read about but don't know what it is!) from there? It seems the…
