    One guy applied for 4 tickets to the 100m final and that's all... and he got them!

    Yeah, I mentioned this one guy who went all out and bought loads thinking he would get a few, he got them all and they cost 36 grand.
    1/7 of people who tried to get them failed.

    Haven't checked yet but I've used a site in Germany that is selling them at face value and they have thousands available on first served basis.

    Bought a few through them already

    I don't see why people are complaining really. It's a lottery, sometimes you'll get all your tickets, sometimes you'll get a few, sometimes you'll get none.

    Knowing my luck, I'd only get tickets to something **** like women's rowing or archery.

    The only thing anyone wants to see at the Olympics is:

    a) 100m final
    b) Walking race (for the penguin lols)

    So far we've had the row over the stadium, the stadium itself which looks utter ****e after the 'birds nest' in China, the inevitable going way over budget, and now this....should've let France have it, would've saved us a load of money that could've been spent better elsewhere and we could all still have easily hopped accross the channel if we wanted. I said from the start, it's going to be an almighty fk up and piss poor olympics. This is Britain, after all
