I am looking out of my office window right now, across Hackney Marshes in the distance I can see the stadium. I see that view all the time and just wish I had got a ticket to sit in that stadium and watch some of the events.
I applied for £1700 of tickets and received zero.
I am angry!
But, working for one of the host boroughs (Waste Management) I am heavily involved with getting our staff and facilities ready for the Olympics and the Radio 1 "Big Weekend" next month.
I have had the opportunity to look behind the scenes of the Olympic Park and we have complimentary tickets for the Radio 1 event (I am responsible for cleaning Jessie J's changing room
)
The Olympic Park is spectacular, they have done a great job of cleaning up the River Lea & surrounding areas and would recommend applying for the Park Entrance tickets that are going on sale now. They will have big screens around the park so you will be able to see the events and take in some of the atmosphere.
A little tip...From the top of the Orbit Tower in the Olympic Park you can see the running track
Looking forward to the next few months even with the ammount of work coming our way!
It will be worth every penny
