Not a thread for moaning about it, just simply what have you got tickets for.
I'm going to:
Boxing - first rounds of lightweight / welterweight Football - 1/4 final at Wembley (which may be GB if they come 2nd in group) Probably line the street for Marathon / Triathlon
Rowing Archery Beach volleyball - late on a Saturday night (could get rowdy...) Water polo Handball Table tennis Judo Boxing Athletics - 100m final night Football - Semi-final at Wembley (seeded to be Brazil v Spain)
Like Falconwood I have tickets for the boxing on the 2nd, Volleyball on the 1st, Athletics on the 8th and field hockey on the 29th July. Thats it for me but there still tickets available I hear
A friend of mine has also got 100m final tickets! I applied for the 200m but was unsuccessful...
Like Matt, I'm a sport lover, so quite looking forward to seeing sports that I'm not that familiar with (handball, water polo), but they've got a ball so that's a good start!
I'm sure tickets for some of the less popular sports are still available.
Volleyball Q-Fs on the 8th, Athletics on the 9th, the morning session unfortunately. Taking my brother in law who is Czech and never been to the UK, and will drive there on his motorbike. For him its the trip of a lifetime
None of it.Applied for tickets at the beginning and got nothing. Since received plenty of emails saying more tickets now available which quickly puts me in 'stick 'em up your arse' mode.

if you can afford £725 for a 2 hour session for early qualifying rounds of gymnastics then yes, there are still tickets available. Or - £925 for a morning session of athletics. those emails are still driving me mad.
I want to see something affordable in the Olympic Stadium, not fussed what it is, but evening or weekend. So bought tickets for the paralympics instead.
Team gb tickets for wembley were available a couple of days ago

Not going to any sporting events. We are going to the opening concert in Hyde Park. Duran Duran (why not someone decent!), Snow Patrol, Stereophonics and Paolo Nutini await.
Doing a quick search, you can get £45 tickets to see women's hockey, Sunday evening 29th July, so there are still opportunities to get into the Olympic Park - and those tickets are genuinely there as I could have bought them...
