We had to apply about 18 months ago but my wife and I were lucky enough to get a ticket each for the morning track and field session on Saturday, August 4 at the London 2012 Olympics. The good news is that the main Olympic park is within three miles and walking distance of our London abode, so no need to worry about where to park the car.

Here's my ticket.

We were warned that security would be like an airport and we should arrive at the Olympic campus 2 hours 30 minutes before our session in the athletics stadium would begin. So that is 7:30am for the 10am to 2pm session...ouch.

So it is an early start and off we go.

Things seemed pretty quiet as walked to towards the Olympic park. The only people we met were these bobbies.
