    None of it.Applied for tickets at the beginning and got nothing.
    Since received plenty of emails saying more tickets now available which quickly puts me in 'stick 'em up your arse' mode.

    if you can afford £725 for a 2 hour session for early qualifying rounds of gymnastics then yes, there are still tickets available. Or - £925 for a morning session of athletics. those emails are still driving me mad.

    I want to see something affordable in the Olympic Stadium, not fussed what it is, but evening or weekend. So bought tickets for the paralympics instead.

    Not going to any sporting events. We are going to the opening concert in Hyde Park. Duran Duran (why not someone decent!), Snow Patrol, Stereophonics and Paolo Nutini await.

    Doing a quick search, you can get £45 tickets to see women's hockey, Sunday evening 29th July, so there are still opportunities to get into the Olympic Park - and those tickets are genuinely there as I could have bought them...

    Other sports are available as well.

    @AFKABartram You can now buy tickets to stand on The Mall to watch the marathon at 50 or 30 a pop.

    Can we just watch the marathon without having to pay??

    If you have tickets are you allowed to use the special Olympic lanes our taxes have paid for or are they just for David Cameron and his ilk?

    Not bought tickets but will be watching the Olympic Road Cycling race on a good spot on the loop at Box Hill with thousands of others.

    Not directly Olympic ticket-related but I've got a VIP pass to the press/celebrity launch of the Belgium Olympic and Interfederal Committee hosted "Cycling Paradise" at Belgium House, near Embankment. I get to meet the legendary Eddie Merckx and a load of other pro cyclists and celebrities.

    Yep, am standing in my cousin's front garden who is smack bang on the loop, with no pavement in front so will have a completely unobscured view of the Peloton thundering by :-)
