Swapping Olympic tickets

Options
Does anyone know if it's possible to swap Olympic tickets? I have 2 tickets for handball on 30th July at 2.30......just arrived today.....unfortunately 1 is in block 202 ( £20 ticket ) and one is in block 207 ( £30 ticket ) - entirely my own fault, was getting very annoyed when trying to book!
As I am going with my 13 year old daughter, I'd obviously rather we were closer together - my thinking is swopping with someone, so they got the £30 ticket and I got their £20 ticket. Don't know whether there is any way to do this........?

    Yes, you can.

    My suggestion will be to do it on the day.

    Other than that - there is a large community on Twitter (search for #2012Tweeps) who are very actively swapping tickets.

    As for transferability of tickets, suggest you read this:

    Cheers.

    Hi Bumping this up as it's all getting closer......I've just looked and it seems we're watching GB V Russia and the Spain V France. I'm thinking that because it's GB the arena is more likely to be full? Has anyone any thoughts on the chances of me being able to swap seats on the day? I'm not sure about me sitting at one side of the arena and my 13 year old daughter at the other side - though at least we wouldn't fall out?

    Next question - we'll be catching a train home at 7pm from Kings Cross - thinking about what time we're going to have to leave Olympic Park? I realise we might have to leave before the end of the 2nd match, but daughter will be happy as long as she's seen our team.

    Any advice, gratefully received....
