Only 36% of the 1.9 million people who applied for London 2012 Olympic tickets were successful in the first-round lottery, according to recent reports. Instead of waiting for the nail-biting ‘second chance sales’ period, why not guarantee the chance to watch an Olympic event in an Olympic venue?
One of the most popular spectator events at the Olympics, and the world’s fastest racquet sport, Badminton is now completely sold out for London 2012. There is, however, still the chance to watch the team in action at the Yonex BWF world badminton championships ( http://www.gulliverstravel.co.uk/badminton/yonex-bwf-world-badminton-championships-london-2011 ) in London, 2011 (8th – 14th August 2011).
