Sportsworld Collection a breeze

London 2012, , ,

So after all the Cosport problems with collection, I was very nervous that today would be the same as Sportsworld collection began especially as that was the only way you could get tickets from them.

I couldn’t have been more wrong, and I’m very happy about it!

My Other Half arrived and there were 4 people being served and only her in the queue.  However she didn’t have long to wait as someone came down to serve as well and dealt with her straight away.  All tickets were in packs ready for people to collect, and after ID had been seen the agent ran through all the tickets one by one to confirm they were correct even confirming the seats were together.  All this with no fuss, and in an airconditioned office.

Within minutes she was out and ringing me to let me know that tickets were in hand – fantastic!  See Cosport its not that hard to do!!!!

Cosport tickets are on their way!

London 2012, ,

Some of my most expensive tickets for the Olympics are coming from Cosport (the EU seller for Austria), and they were supposed to start sending out their tickets last week so I’ve been getting a bit nervous.  Thankfully today I received an email to say that a shipping request had been sent to FedEx which is what they are using to send the tickets so I presume that is them.  Not totally sure though as the sender is apparently JetSet Sports Holdings and also although the notification was sent first thing this morning FedEx don’t seem to have picked up the package yet – very bizarre!

Unfortunately I won’t be in to receive the tickets so I might have to wait until the end of the week to find out for sure – I’ll be a bit nervous until I actually have them in my hand!

Must step away from the ticketing sites…

London 2012, ,

… and hand over my Visa cards so that I stop buying tickets to the Olympics!  This morning Sportsworld released some new tickets which included Velodrome ones and as that was what I most wanted that I hadn’t got thats what I went for!  Very expensive (especially including the handling fee of £40 PER TICKET) as they are Category AA but hoping that means a good view and its for CT004 which means we will see the final of the Womens Team Pursuit which I believe TeamGB have a very good chance of medalling in!

Very very happy to have got the tickets, but must stop buying anymore!!

p.s. Does anyone want to come to the Canoe Slalom with me??  Seems none of my friends and family do…

Collecting EU Olympic tickets

London 2012, ,

To get all the tickets that I have for the Olympics (which before you start getting annoyed, means that at least 7 other people who wanted tickets but didn’t get are able to get them are able to come to the games), I bought from a couple of other EU ticket sellers – one from France (run by Eventeam), and the other Denmark (run by Sportsworld).

Now despite being a bit annoying to deal with, Eventeam are going to courier their tickets to everyone just like London 2012.  However, despite being a British company, Sportsworld want everyone to go to their London ticket office and collect them in person.  I’ve just had an email detailing the dates that they are open, and its only just before the games so I’m going to have to make a special trip to London for them as I need them the first day – dagnabit!  I did know about only being able to collect them when I booked them but thought I’d be able to go a bit in advance.  Best talk to the boss about having an afternoon off work so I can go get them…

UPDATE : Whilst working out the best time for me to get the tickets, and realising that I needed them for the first day I’m in London (for Archery) I finally read the bottom of the email thoroughly (I know, I shouldn’t skip things!) and it turns out that I can nominate someone else to pick them up for me – woo hoo!  As t’other half commutes into London every day she is kindly offered to go pick them up for me – result!

Knew it wouldn’t last

London 2012,

I had all the best intentions yesterday – I wasn’t going to buy anymore tickets!  But as 11am came around, I just couldn’t help myself and there I was on the website seeing what was available…  Rationalizing it to myself, I’ve gone for a couple more events on days when I was already either travelling through London or at the Olympic Park but was only doing one event that day.  Hence I’m now going to see the GB Womens Football team vs Brazil (should be some match) at Wembley, and also going to see Handball in the Copper Box 🙂  I think with the Paralympics tickets I got the other day I’m now going to most venues in the Olympic Park at one time or another 🙂  Of course, the only main one I’m not going to during either games is the Velodrome, but luckily we went to the test event (which was fab and you can see pictures of here  http://www.flickr.com/photos/zeetha/sets/72157629491630759/) so I don’t mind *too* much!
