HoneySuckleDreams Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 We tried to get tickets for the athletics, only the cheap morning events (pentathalon etc..), normally you see the stadiums empty for those sort of things.But nothing doing, so I was wondering if anyone else has been successful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

confused of chalus Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 They have taken £90 from our account but have no idea yet for which events. You can bet your life it wont be for anything I want to see... my hunch is my OH will be seeing the badminton. Yawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I have no desire to spectate.Why when they were questioning Mr Coe on TV about the lottery didn't they ask how many tickets he had? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Nick I am even more cynical - who would want to watch so called atheletes who are government backed with public money to show the regime in a positive light?It may be better to go back to how it all began when they were all unclothed - but no it was just men competing.Who cares if tha few can do something quicker than mere mortals?I would prefer if kindness and compassion were spectator sports - sorry they are, but there are few competitors..

HoneySuckleDreams Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 Nickp : Cynicsm is fine by me, everyone has their own point of view.My kids are into their athletics in France. No 1 son has a chance to be Olympic(ish) standard in the next 4-6 years (fingers crossed), so from a motivational point of view I'm trying my best to help him along.I'm as big a cynesist(?) as the next brit, especially when FIFA are in the mix.

Mme poivre Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I' m giong to france for the summer will just have to watch all the highlights on the TV seems a much less stressfull idea than applying for tickets [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val_2 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 [quote user="Mme poivreI'm giong to france for the summer will just have to watch all the highlights on the TV seems a much less stressfull idea than applying for tickets At least you can get up and have a cup of tea or make a sandwich when you want and with the SKY HD box, halt everything until you come back into the room. Not that I'm the slightest bit interested in any of it actually, but some folks enjoy it. I reckon it was better when men in very little did it all back in Greece.
