Tickets Arrive - Good News and Bad News

      Tickets arrived today!  No mistakes in the order which is a big relief, considering purchases were made months ago.  As a side note, the official U.S. agent was still offering tickets for sale, including closing ceremony as of last week.  There are always some disappointments when one has to purchase tickets to events without knowing the participants.  You can only hope for good games, but Nigeria vs. Tunisia is not one of the better draws.  Second game between Brazil and Australia is a little more promising.  U.S. team plays in the second grouping - luck of the draw.  Archery is the team qualifications, a good choice.  Missed the U.S. team in water polo and men's volleyball, but a decent shot to see Americans in rowing and kayaking where we have strong entries.

     It was always going to be hit and miss, but it will be a thrill to see the world's top athletes in action.
Note the travel card tickets.  The ticket price includes transportation for the day of the event on all London transit.
