Olympic Venue Tickets ?

Can someone explain to me why teflon Coe is happy to give teachers tickets as opposed to dustbin men for example. >:(

Might be because as they only work 36 weeks a year - they are available :-)

Nb my English teacher daughter will kill me if she reads that comment !!!

Also just heard the chairperson (politically correct) on BBC World News say "we are changing things and you have to remember this is not a precise science"

Well pardon me love (non politically correct) that might be where you are going wrong - let me explain - 5000 seats + 5000 bums on them = 100%

God it all went downhill when they grouped Physics / Biology and Chemistry together !!!

I think I heard on my way home from work that another 3000 tickets have been released
Unsure of the details though

We tried and failed to get tickets in all the ballots, and keep looking on the site all the time with no luck. It is very frustrating especially when avid sports fans don't get any tickets.

Still we have flown to the UK not to miss the experience and have seen the cycling and are going to the time trials tomorrow and will watch the triathlons and marathons as you can do that without a ticket. We were also were lucky enough to see the opening ceremony concert.

We are still checking the website constantly with the faint hope of getting a ticket, you never know!

The atmosphere here is fabulous, everything else we have experienced has been excellent. The games makers are everywhere and are very helpful. We have been very impressed so far.

I have my fingers crossed that Istanbul are successful in thrir bid and we get to see something there in 2012, wouldn't that be great?
