Desperately need paralympic tickets - how can I get them?

notwithit??

I have been trying to get them via this alert..

http://2012ticketchecker.com/

The instructions are at the bottom of the page.

I am after the 2 events that are already in the link...just remove them and add the events you are after and every time new tickets are added an alarm goes off.
It is a nightmare to get them tho as they go in your basket but then they are unavailable!
good luck x

coincidence? fate? Call it what you will but...
someone call ruby browning has tweeted and retweeted on my timeline about having two for this date and needing a swap. @rubybrowning about 20 minutes ago. Maybe message her and see if you can come to some sort of arrangement.

Thanks I will look her up on twitter. Even more of coincidence that my daughter is called Crystal!

Olympic day passes sold out ages ago. There are Excel day passes available on a couple of days - I'd grab those if I were you. You could always resell them if something better becomes available for the same day.

I think all you can do is just check the London2012 site as often as you can - supposedly tickets are being released next week. I doubt they'll release more daypasses though (the Paras ones were excellent value as they gave access to some events too) but there should be individual events tickets released. I suspect the 'Paralympic Family' is rather smaller than the Olympic one so there'll probably be some excellent seats at the front available.

Tickets are being released daily in batches. Today, I bought tickets for the stadium - athletics.

To obtain tickets, you need to search continuously, sit at the computer from morning till evening.

You will know when a batch of tickets have been released as there will be several pages of available events.

Hi all,

I know it seems I have left it a bit late but I have my reasons. My daughter has severe Cerebral Palsy and she loves to run. We have all as a family become quite enthralled with Sophia Warner as she runs just like my little girl, and therefore desperately want to take the family so see the T35 100m womens Paralympic finals on the evening session on 7th September. Trouble is when there were tickets available we were completely broke, due to having to pay 2 mortgages and associated bills. We have just got some refunds on gas and electric on the other house (it is empty and we are not using any so why do they charge us for it anyway???!!!!), and a tax rebate, so now have the spare cash to buy the tickets. As you would expect though the tickets have now sold out!!

We are gutted to say the least, and had tears to deal with from my daughter who was really looking forward to seeing the race. So where can I get some tickets. There must be someone who has bought some and now can't make it, or even a tout who has bought some and wants to sell them for profit. I am desperate and will pay any price (within reason).

Any advise greatly received.

You should keep trying though obviously its difficult.

I know there are no athletics tickets currently available but if they came up again have you considered the morning session of 7 September? This has the first round of heats for the 100m T35. Its not the same as the final but you would see the athlete you have mentioned.

Another option is to search the websites of foreign olympic organisations although you would have to be very very careful doing this. During the main olympics some of these organisations set up bases in the capital and were selling tickets to the public so i'm not sure if they will do the same at the paralympics?

Good luck.
