Having difficulty in getting any day passes/tickets for any event this week as apparently everything is sold out despite the empty seats in evidence on Saturday night (athletics) Any suggestions?
My boss went online on Thursday and managed to pick up two tickets for yesterday (2nd row from the front next to the flame - bloomin hot there apparently) - the secret is just to keep going on line apparently ....
It does seem a bit random. I went to the Athletics on Saturday morning and it was a real struggle to get any tickets online for any event on any day, I used the 2012TicketAlert on Twitter to let me know when any tickets became available, but even so it took me several days of trying to get anything. Yet on Saturday morning the stadium clearly wasn't sold out but perhaps because the tickets were relatively cheap people bought them on the off-chance but weren't committed to definitely going?
I've also go tickets for Goalball tomorrow and that includes a Day Pass but doesn't give access to all the other venues in the Park - it only gives access to the Riverbank Arena (5-a-side football) and Eton Manor (wheelchair tennis) although I think there are probably different categories of Day Passes which give access to different venues. On Saturday as we were walking round the Park after the Athletics there were plenty of electronic signs and Games Makers with megaphones advising whether there was room at particular venues for Day Passes although in most cases the advice was that the venues were already full so even having a Day Pass doesn't seem to guarantee you will get in to a venue and only guarantees you entry to the Park itself!
That's the unfortunate downside of offering cheap tickets. People aren't as incentivised to actually attend.
