Have you got any Olympic tickets?

I wonder how many of us will be checking our VISA accounts from today to see if we have secured tickets for next year's Olympics.

After a six-day delay (originally it was from 10 May), money will be taken out of our accounts between today and (I assume the original end date remains the dame) 10 June if we have been successful in our ticket applications.

If some money has been taken out of your account, it will be then a case of waiting until 24 June to find out which events we have tickets for, unless you have applied for very few, or conjure up some algebraic equation to figure out how many tickets at exactly what prices you have got! Good luck on that one.

It seems that a lot of people "over-ordered" the number of tickets they actually want, so I have a feeling that the return of tickets and the subsequent re-sale (I believe in early 2012) will prompt a bigger frenzy for tickets as people realise what they really want and that this really is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Off to check my VISA account...
