Just looked at getting some Paralympics tickets [from London2012 website] for something in the Olympic Park upto September 4th, only a basketball session came up, tried any date for Olympic Stadium - nothing!
Is it really this sold-out??

    Sold out, I've got some tickets for the Olympic Stadium tomorrow night that I'm trying to get rid of. The resale page isn't working and they wonder why there are so many empty seats..

    Yep - my brother is doing the stadium PA for one of the days so our whole family have been on the case for ages but can't get hold of any. Incredible demand, surely will be the most watched Paralympics ever?

    There were quite a lot when I got ours the other day, I gues after the exploits of the weekend there's been a bounce in demand.

    You'd have to think so, reflects very well on our country and hopefully will see us get more major tournaments in the future.

    I am hoping they have just taken some para athletics tickets offline realising that 2.5M per day logging on for athletics this week is crippling them.

    If they really are all sold out and I've got to play this game during the para I am going to cry!

    have you tried to buy any? 'not available' that's been on 33 since about 4pm this afternoon. nonsense. you add to basket, 1, 3 or more (I've tried all options) and you get 'sorry, nothing available'

    I got mine in post today, 5th September, Swimming in the morning, Athletics in the evening, kids are buzzing and cant wait, cost £60 all in, and to think I was desperate to get anything, Fencing, table tennis, canoeing, and would have cost me 4 times that.
    Cant wait.

    I went big in the original ballot for Paralympic tickets, only ones I didn't get where in the velodrome. So I'm on Olympic park for 4 days, and got opening and closing ceremonies

    I think they've probably just taken them offline whilst Suzi clogs up the system trying to get Olympic tickets :-) I got £10 athletic tickets easy last week.

    is http://www.tickets.london2012.com/ the right website to use?
    I´m on hols but checking into internet cafe now and then - but when something is listed, it is then unavailable when you select it (ie. same as I had for Olympics tickets)
