That's not a bad idea I never thought of the racecourses.
They're actually a really good pair of tickets I got the letter about them on Thursday there for the 7th August and when I looked it up on the official website their for the final and the medal ceremony! On the news the other night it was saying over half the people who've applied for tickets haven't got what they wanted so anyone who's really interested in that kind of thing might pay good money for them :)
I won't be getting them till next year though so we'll see then where's best to put them I wouldn't be surprised if there's a scramble for tickets nearer the time
That's true I'm thinking ebay would be a good bet though I already have a account from Xmas I got my nephew some retro Man Utd shirts all you need is two people who really want them and you're laughing *g*
We'll see what happens next year I'm gonna use whatever I get for them for spending money I bet prices will be double what they normally are in London I was looking at coach and train fares for next year and they're definitely a lot more than they are now I'm glad for that pre paid visa I thought £100 would pay for the travel and I'd have some left over .... no such luck that £100 will just cover it!
But hey I wouldn't be going at all if I hadn't got lucky so I'm not going to complain! we can always play tourist it's been years since I've been to London or just sit in Hyde Park they'll have the big screens up the atmosphere should be great.
I'm betting prices will be double or more in London with the Olympics, as if they weren't high enough as it is. On the plus side there's bound to be a great atmosphere, and I'm sure your nephew will love it, especially if he's never been
