Who would like two tickets to go see the Olympics Volleyball?

Andreas · Apr 6, 2012 · 88 Comments

Thank you for all the entries! We have our winner – Robbie Craig comment number 82!

We’re in full “giveaway” competition mode here on London Cyclist. On Wednesday we gave a £500 Wiggle voucher to London Cyclist reader Esteban who is putting it to good use towards a new bike. Today, I’ve been given the opportunity by Thomas Cook 2012to give away a Games Breaks package to one of my readers.

Thomas Cook is the official provider of short breaks to the London 2012 games. The giveaway includes official London 2012 Volleyball competition tickets and accommodation for two people for one night. The winner will need to book their place by the end of May.

The Volleyball is on the 3rd of August and held at Earls Court.

If this sounds like something you’d like to take part in then normal competition rules apply and all you have to do is enter by leaving a comment below on which sport you are most looking forward to seeing at the 2012 Olympics. As per usual we will be picking the winner completely at random.

    Apart from the cycling events most looking forward to the 3 day eventing, Greenwich Park is going to be a great venue.

    I managed to get 2 x tickets to a Womens Hockey Semi Final. My Mum is a huge hockey fan and also managed to get 2 tickets so we’ll be having a little family day out. To make it extra-special we’re going to camp in the Lee Valley that evening!

    I’m an avid cyclist so most definitely the men’s road race. A real shame the organizers plan to charge for tickets to access Box Hill – completely contrary to the sport of cycling…

    Watching the Rowing/Track cycling will be amazing having friends in both events. (Even they could not get me tickets though) 🙁

    Have to say it will be the Handball. Not a sport known to most Brits but something that could capture the imagination of the watching millions here and hopefully see a bump in participation numbers.

    Cycling or the mens relay. The swimming is always entertaining too. Is there somewhere that average joe’s can buy a ticket from these days or are they still mission impossible to get hold of?

    Given that I live 5 mins’ ride from the main Olympic park this one’s a bit of a curve-ball, but I reckon watching the sailing, from a vantage point on the hillside above Portland Harbour (with an iPad to get the close-ups) would be rather kewl. Having said that I’d be keen to get to see anything, but haven’t had any joy yet.

    Obviously the cycling is of great interest but I’m most looking forward to the sprints – 100m/200m. More records broken?
