Mens beach volleyball ?

I caved in and got a couple of football semi-final tickets. Much to my shame Man U are my lads second team, so it sounded like the best way for him to see Old Trafford :)

Might apply for some Spanish allocation tickets for proper events if I haven't missed the deadline. EUtastic.

I know somebody who got two sets of tickets, each for different events that are being held at the same time.

I got the first session of tennis, on Centre Court. Nothing else, but that's a pretty exciting start. Hopefully I'll get some more later on.

I've got 2 out of the 5 I applied for in the first ballot. I've got a ticket for the first event, the football in Cardiff, two days before the opening ceremony, and a ticket for the beach volleyball.

I applied in the first round, but then couldn't be bothered to apply on Friday.  The whole fiasco has resulted in me losing interest.

Going to sit and hope there will be some ticket opportunities via work (although unlikely!)
