capt_chaos Report post Posted July 31, 2012 Yep the "lottery" to buy tickets was a joke as was the price. This is not a London thing but a Olympic problem - Beijing had similar problems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim501 Report post Posted July 31, 2012 Had my first taste tonight. I must say the park is absolutely spectacular, the buzz is great, the volunteers are all really excited and lively (though probably could use them as seat fillers there is thousands of them and sometimes the just have 30 of them for a guard of honour to guide you into a pathway). We went and saw the handball games between Spain and Denmark; and France and Argentina. There was probably 10-20 empty seats in the 6500 capacity. We got the tickets in the ballot last year (along with hockey this Thursday and Sunday). I think it was full is because this is a sport that is popular all the time not just every 4 years, so a lot of people from the continent and beyond had travelled to see the games, whereas no one really gives a toss about gymnastics come any other year.

soup Report post Posted August 1, 2012 btw why is this topic in the offtopic and not in the sports section? Because this is a "whine about the openings ceremony"-topic, not really about sports. Easy victory by Team USA (basketball), love how they involved rookie Davis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan335 Report post Posted August 1, 2012 The Mayor of London celebrated the first British gold medal by going down a zip line, and he got stuck at the end. Article: Boris Johnson Gets Stuck on Zipline It gave me a little chuckle, I think he's a real character. I posted that so that I could also post the best meme made from it that made me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
