    Does anyone know if its possible to return the tickets before next may? We were allocated some tickets either Gymnastics/Tae Kwon Do we think but since applying it seems we'll be on holiday so can't go :(

    I've been told you can sell them back in May but wondering if there was an earlier date we could do this? :o

    Thank you for posting the link :D

    Looks like I am stuck with them until next year which is a shame seeing as other people should be able to make use of them when I know we can't use the tickets,

    Thank again! :)

    I've been looking at the german website dertour............who are selling olympic games tickets.

    As I've been looking at what they've got left.........events are disappearing before my eyes. A few minutes ago there were badminton and basketball event tickets...........now they've gone.

    All that I can see now is wrestling, weighlifting and boxing. Thanks to google translator I found out the Ringen Freistil is wrestling freestyle.;)

    So............as a last resort, you can (at the moment) buy olympic games tickets from the dertour german website.

    I'd only applied for one event - Mens Football Final at Wembley. I live near Wembley. My men (2 of them) love football. Had the money deducted from my account yesterday. Although my husband has freaked at the cost (£97 each).

    I applied for this event as part of my order but was not successful. It's good to see that someone will be there apart from the sponsors.

    I got the football final too :j

    But none of the tennis or athletics I applied for. Gutted but not moaning after realising how many people got no tickets at all.

    I applied for day 1 athletcis during the daytime for 2 adults and 2 kids and haven't had any money taken. I still check my bank daily just in case I am one of the lucky ones who have not had their money taken yet!! Let's see what is on offer during the second stage of tickets....not holding my breath thoug!
  • Has everyone heard whether or not they were successful?
    I've not had any rejection/allocation emails and I thought allocations were supposed to finish by 10th june?
