lol my brother made us all think we'd won tickets to the 100m final and the 5000m Saturday's in London next year, we spend 2 hours getting excited and talking about hotels and then it turns out he read the confirmation of application email, not one saying we were successful safe to say I'm not best pleased

On the plus side I was successful in getting 10,000m tickets on the opening Friday so swings and roundabouts I guess

Are you a subscribed member to British Athletics? They did early sales a few months ago for British Athletics fans who've bought tickets for events previously (e.g. Anniversary Games, British Championships etc.), I think the window has closed now though </3

I'm subscribed to their emails yeah, and I signed up for email alerts about London 2017 pretty much as soon as the 2012 Olympics were over, but I don't think I've ever been offered an early bird sale unfortunately

There will be exclusive first-come-first-served sales for those who were unsuccessful in about two weeks though so I'll try again there, but whether 100m final tickets will still be available is doubtable

Yeah I think they only offered it early to people who had bought tickets for British Athletics events before rather than just people subscribed to their email account.

Apparently there's been over 1 million applications for tickets and there's only 700,000 tickets to give out So I doubt there will be another general sale, or if there is then it'll sell out almost immediately. I'm not really sure how they're gonna allocate them tbh

Sounds fair enough really

Yeah a first come first served sale is gonna be even more manic so I shan't get my hopes up I'm pleased but surprised it's been this well received, I haven't seen the ad on TV? I guess the Olympics must've given it a boost

I mean I can't be too annoyed cause I'm gonna see Mo, Bolt in the heats and Greg in the long jump qualification and maybe even Laura Muir in a 1500m heat? Plus the 'opening ceremony' which'll presumably be a bit crap but if they book a decent DJ I'll be happy. It's just wasting 2 hours of my afternoon getting excited for nothing that's taken the shine away
