HibeeJibee Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Interesting stars regarding the ticketing: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/commonwealth-games/24803802 Of the sales so far, 57% have been bought by people living in Scotland, 40% from other parts of the United Kingdom and the remainder from non-Commonwealth countries. Tickets to Commonwealth nations are from an additional pot, sold through the various Commonwealth Games around the world. Overall, 70% of the Glasgow 2014 tickets were made available to the public, while organisers reserved 9% for the Commonwealth Games associations and the Commonwealth Games Federation. Sponsors and broadcast partners accounted for 8% and 7% of the tickets respectively, while one ticket in 20 was retained for "contingency" and 1% reserved for Games partners.

mrcat1990 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 I'm wondering how different Hampden will look post games. The track that's there is already a pain in the arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 It'll look the same as before, surely? Makes you wonder why they kept a track in the first place, however, if it wasn't big enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 My worry is that the track will be bigger. They really need shot of it after the games. Let's down Hampden badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Thered be no point. The stands and pitch cant move any closer to each other. Its not all bad, though. I was in the Olympiastadion in Berlin the other day. Watching football from behind the goal there must be horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 It'll look the same as before, surely? Makes you wonder why they kept a track in the first place, however, if it wasn't big enough! Aye, it'll be back to the way it was after the games. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-26541806 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 What a waste of fucking money raising the place by 2m. Compared to what, building a suitably-dimensioned 40,000-seat athletics stadium somewhere else in Glasgow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Idea behind it... the regeneration of Glasgow... is a good one. No doubt it electrified the arty types on the steering committee and the accountants looking for a cheap "big spectacular". Where it fell down (no pun intended) was 3 areas. Firstly, half the folk watching wouldn't realise what it was signified, just that we were exploding a load of houses: tacky. Secondly, whoops and cheers would greet it: insentitive to those who lived there. Thirdly, tower 6 with its asylum seekers remaining: dire. Heaven knows what they'll replace it with, mind you...

The Naitch Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 The last 100,000 tickets went on sale at 10am. Good luck getting anywhere on the website, though. Even once you get through the initial queue it's impossible to select any given event let alone select a ticket without the site crashing. To be expected, I suppose.

HibeeJibee Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I'm right they haven't released a list of events with tickets remaining, you just have to (try to somehow) get into the site then see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much, though I'm sure in the announcement they said there were tickets left for all 17 sports plus the opening and closing ceremonies. Certain in some cases eg cycling, swimming and athletics that those available tickets will be very limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerwickMad Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Forgot this was happening. Should be a fairly decent watch if Bolt appears for the 100m. You'd hardly know it was happening there's been such little coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Finally got through, was in that queue for nearly EIGHT hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
