I managed to buy online tickets for 5 of us (3 adults and 2 children) to get to a swimming event in the Aquatics Centre.  Despite the comments of many that tickets to the Olympic and Paralympic Games were impossible to buy, it’s paid off to keep checking the website and be ready to pounce if there are tickets available.  Clearly they’re being released at different times.

We had a wonderful day and I was so pleased that my friend’s children were able to attend an event and also experience the buzz in the Olympic Park.
