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?
