No travelcard to get to your venue? You just need your tickets or email to travel!

If you live within London then you don't need to use your Oyster or pay to get to your London Venue.

"Passengers and spectators are advised that they need a valid ticket to travel in London. However, TfL have recognised that some people need to collect their Paralympic tickets from venues on the day of their event. In those cases TfL staff will allow spectators to travel on services operated by TfL as long as they have a print out ticket or confirmation they have purchased Paralympic tickets for that day."

Hurrah!!!!

Hi I wonder if anyone can help:

We bought tickets to 3 events separately and chose collection to save a bit of money, dh was only one with a visa in our household so he booked for me and DD for athletics (mon am), we live in greater london and as it said only the account holder could pick up tickets he paid to get up to Stratford to collect our event tickets- which he was given but not given any travelcards.? I hadnt read these posts so we didnt even know we were entitled to them

we had tickets for w/chair basketball for the whole family on friday - so we paid to get up there- not cheap.

Anyway we have (as said above event tickets for tomorrow and tuesday), and I dont know what tto do abvout travelling.
As per post #1 I feel confident in getting up to the olympic park with showing my event tickets, but will i be able to collect travelcards, so we dont get stranded up there for the way home?
I can imagine tfl and station staff being ok with this tfl /locog email and a copy of our email confirmatin /tickets heading





towards the stadiums/venues but a bit worried about that on the way home?

As DH wasnt given travelcards when he collected our tickets, we just assumed we werent entitled to them (we thought only those who paid the extra £6 for delivery were given them)
When at the olympic park tomorrow does anyone know if the ticket office staff give me the travelcards -because a) I am not the account holder and b) we are in possession of the event tickets., so have already collected our tickets just that we dont have our travelcards

I am getting in a bit of a tizz about it, and a bit cross at them as we didnt know we could have them in the first place.

And lastly, I couldnt find a telephone number for locog to ask directly

Any help/pointers gratefully appreciated
