The Great Olympic Ticket Fiasco (2)

Remember you heard it here first !

The Seb Coe popularity shows lumbers on. Apparently, 1,900,000 deluded souls applied for tickets under the impression that they might actually get some, but only 700,000 of them were 'lucky' - and a lot of them didn't get what they really wanted. But never mind...

So basically it was the fuck up I predicted and just to prove that the Brits love a good fuck up and that Coe is the man for the job, there's another fuck up coming our way on the 24th June when they release yet another traunch of tickets  - mainly for the events that no-one wants to actually see.

This time the tickets will be on a first come first served basis - which is how it should have been done in the first place. There will be 2,300,000 tickets initially offered to those who missed out on the first round of the great ticket fiasco. Mind you, if you don't like football then you're in for a bit of a shock because 1,700,000 of these tickets are for football.

Apparently, there will still be more tickets to come later in the year but there is a problem releasing these just yet because the seating arrangements can't be finalised until they decide where to site the cameras!

But the laugh of the week over all this came as I was watching BBC Breakfast the other morning. There was a guy on there who had no trouble at all getting tickets. He applied on line and was instantly sold exactly what he wanted. No problem. No hassle. Job done!

So where exactly is this wonderful Olympic Tickets website?.......

.....It's in Germany.
