Sorry to hear about your difficulty.
From the London 2012 website:
"Our ticketing policy states that tickets are non-transferable. However, providing you as the lead booker are contactable on the day in case of query, a member of your family or a friend may use tickets you can no longer use.

Alternatively, you can submit your tickets for resale at face value through the official London 2012 ticket resale programme. This is the only authorised way you will be able to submit your tickets for resale."

So you are in the clear to give them to your relative.

Might yet book myself a couple of of nights so that I don't have to to spend the duration on the floor at relatives who don't have broadband. Free is good, but broadband and a decent telly is more important.

Still no Dutch tickets here. I wonder have we been victims of a scam, they have our credit card details, address, money and passport numbers

First thing to do is check that they are authorised ticket resellers:

I wouldn't be worried for another week tbh. I rang them up before (to confirm an order) and got through to their office. Maybe give them a ring tomorrow and ask if they've been sent out yet?

Now I'm confused.

I thought it was tickets from the French site, but the FedEx tracking is showing the item as being picked up in New Jersey and currently going through Memphis.

I also just noticed that the email shows the shipment as coming from JETSET SPORTS HOLDINGS who I did not buy from, but a website of JetSet Sports do appear on the London 2012 site as NOT being an authorised re-seller.

That site is jetsetsport.info, whereas jetsetsports.com is an authorised re-seller. Their HQ are in New Jersey (which ties in with them being picked up there) so I'd say you can sit back, relax and wait for the precious tickets to arrive in the coming days.

I have one Individual Showjumping Final Ticket for Wed 8th for sale as I can't go that day, but would try swap it for an Athletics Evening session first.

I also have a Women’s Boxing Final Ticket for Thurs 9th (hopefully Katie Taylor involved). I'm not sure if I'll be able to make this either so I'd also try swap it for an Athletics Evening session ticket.

G-Money · 10-07-2012, 20:34

Apparently the Dutch site is selling tickets again.

The heineken house is in Ally Pally, bit of a trek out there. I wonder would the €50 postage fee be waived though?

Just got 2 morning session tickets for Wednesday from the Czech official reselling site. Thought I was booking for Thursday but turned out to be Wednesday (the site was a f*cking mess), so that has taken a bit of the joy away from finally securing a ticket to the stadium. 2 tickets came to 140 pounds combined, most of that being extras.

Men's Pole Vault
10:00 - Qualification

Women's Hammer Throw
10:00 - Qualification

Men's Decathlon
10:10 - 100m
11:10 - Long Jump
12:50 - Shot Put

Men's 5000m
10:45 - Round 1

Women's 800m
11:35 - Round 1

Two more tickets arrived for me this morning. Once is just a Table Tennis session... but the other one is for Beach Volleyball.

MacGyver007 · 11-07-2012, 18:20

Two sets of tickets arrived here this morning: women's boxing finals and 105kg+ weightlifting. They came in the one package even though I was charged for 2 deliveries.

I have emailed them to complain but I don't expect to get much soot out of them. I hope that the delivery charge is not being used as an unofficial booking fee by the official London 2012 website!

Still waiting for the Saturday (4th) and Sunday (5th) night athletics tickets.

Woke up this morning pretty annoyed with myself that I let some evening session tickets slip through the net last night. I could have got some good tickets but got confused with the confusing site and messed it up. Went on again this morning in the hope there would still be tickets left and as luck would have it there were 2 tickets left for the Wednesday night, one Cat C and one Cat D, so I snapped them up ASAP!! Both tickets combined are around 400 British pounds, so at 200 each, while expensive, its probably just within the limit of what I would pay. A pretty nice sessions: Womens 200m final and Allyson Felix, Womens 400m Hurdles final, both the semi and the final of the 110m Hurdles, womens long jump final, aswell as womens 1500m semis, and more decathlon. So overall I paid $820 AUD (about 550 GBP) for 2 morning session tickets, and 2 evening session tickets, all for Wednesday. To quote Ned Flanders, it will be a pretend Christmas this year!
