I made 4 separate applications (4 Visa cards/4 email addresses) with 17 sets of tickets on each. I went for the Ceremonies, Athletics, Swimming and Gymnastics.

Out of all those I've been allocated just one single pair of £50 tickets.

I have had £100 taken out - which I think will be for football - picked something that was close ish (Manchester) and likely of getting. I did also apply for Opening / Closing - if I have got either of those I will be very surprised.

After doing a bit of digging - I belive I have 2 x Football @ £20 and 2 x Football @ £30 plus £6 postage makes the £106 taken. So no opening or closing ceremony.

To me the most unfair thing about the system was the fact they didnt publish the allocation in each price band to allow the public to make an infomred decision when doing their application. I suspect the reasoning was they didnt want the bad press from seeing how many expensive tickets were available compared to cheap ones.

Think I've got tickets for handball, 100m heats/ heptathlon early rounds, boxing, beach volleyball, water polo and basketball - and missed out on tennis, 100m finals and cycling team sprint finals. Oh well, just looking forward to being there. Little bit annoyed that there is now no chance that I'll be able to go to the tennis - I've entered the ballot for wimbledon and now the olympics and still not managed to get a ticket but because those that didnt get any tickets will be given first priority, theres no chance any will be left when I'l be able to bid again.

Agree Steve Ovett was the man.

You thinking of Peter Elliot by the way?
