There are already less than 200 days to go until the 2012 Olympics. Being situated in such a financially well-off city has no doubt assisted with the ticket sales – to the extent that apart from women’s football, all events are sold out. In fact, if you wanted tickets to something now, you would not even have a chance, because when they do release some additional tickets later, it is going to go to the 5 million plus applicants who missed out on tickets in the initial ticket phase a year ago!
In other words, only if you registered a year ago, and never got any tickets, do you even have a chance of getting tickets now! One can only imagine what the resale value of the blue ribbon events, such as the men’s 100 metre final or the closing ceremony will cost.

I heard that English people are complaining and not too happy with thet ticket selling process-because it was very difficult for them to purchase tickets -similar to the world cup in South africa, when South Africans were struggling to get tickets.

We don't have DSTV but our friends do :) So we'll be visiting them more often very soon.
It's crazy how fast those tickets were all sold out. I don't know of anybody that's going over there for the games but I'm sure there are a few South Africans that are lucky enough to be a part of it.

The joys of satellite television. I may not have feel of the crowd but i will be able to record any events i may want to watch whilst watching another event. Yip my money is well worth spent on DSTV.
