Although I did really like the test event but it was

a) Really sunny

b) Cheaper

c) Less busy than the real event

d) Easy to get too, train to Leigh (I'm lazy) thenm ride to bike park.

If anyone applied for and didn't get tickets in the first round they're selling them again right now (till 11pm tonight).

I just got some for the women's event, men's is sold out (who wants to see men in lycra anyway?!). You have to have missed out on all Olympic tickets in the first round to be allowed in I think. Go to http://www.tickets.london2012.com and log in to apply.

Hi,
I think the tickets are all named. They seem pretty tight on that. I think that any tickets not sold in the current round will go on general sale next week, so you might still be able to get some from there. Then there's the resale bit where people with tickets can sell them if they change their mind. Whether you'll be able to get them on the black market, I don't know. Probably, if you look hard enough!

Great to see a Brit female in the Olympics (also she is our Hadleigh MTB Club ambassador) only one male rider qualifies for Olympics! We need to step up our nations riders!

Olympic beer to cost £7.23 a pint

Spectators hoping to celebrate British Olympic medals with a drink at the Games face paying the equivalent of more than £7 for a pint of beer, organisers have said.


Image

Bars at the official Games venues will charge £4.80 for a small serving of London 2012 red wine. For visitors with an appetite for traditional British fare, a portion of cod and chips will set them back at least £8.

A 330ml bottle of Heineken lager at the Games will cost £4.20, making the equivalent price of a pint £7.23. This is more than double the national average price of £3.17 for a pint of beer.

Spectators will pay £2.10 for a toasted teacake, £2.30 for a 500ml bottle of Coca-Cola and £2 for a cup of tea

Nice!! Spectators at The MTB event at Hadleigh won't be getting ripped off with overpriced drink, as its salvation army land, and is strict alcohol free area. Drinks locally afterwards guys!
