Czech out these tickets!

For those still hunting tickets... the Wall Street Journal provides this tip-off on a new opportunity to get hold of some great ones!

"On the official Olympics ticketing website, there are no available tickets for tennis, and there haven’t been on any of my repeated checks over the last few months. Same for track and field and swimming and diving, save the odd ticket a buyer is reselling, usually for 300 pounds ($473) or more. 

But at the Czech House, [52 Upper Street, Islington] the Czech delegation’s temporary headquarters in a conference center about four miles from Olympic Park, there were plenty of tickets available for sale Friday. I bought tickets for badminton and tennis, two racket sports that had proved elusive. Also available: diving tickets for Monday and the next few days, plus track-and-field tickets for the second week of the Games."

The full article, explaining why some national committees still find themselves with the spare tickets which have led to the controversial banks of empty seats at some events, can be found at http://blogs.wsj.com/dailyfix/2012/07/27/need-olympic-tickets-try-czech-delegation/.

I gather that the French delegation are also doing the same from their temporary headquarters in Old Billingsgate.

Let me know if you find anything good!
