Thanks...but where do you see that?

This is all I see:

Sigh...here we go again. :roll: Has anyone seen anything anywhere to say what time BBC's red button service will be carrying Shanghai? My guess, from using the world clock service, and the schedule of events on the IAAF site, it will probably be 3pm-5pm, but I hate trying to second-guess coverage on...

Thanks for all that, guys....

As luck would have it, the day after this thread was started, I woke up a little earlier than usual, switched on BBC1 just before Breakfast started (6am), and there was the Beeb advertising the 5-7pm Friday evening slot....

Thanks for that....

All I could find was this:

I have heard a rumour that the Beeb will be carrying coverage of the Diamond League again this year, but I've yet to find a link that tells me whether the Doha DL meet on Friday will be on BBC3 or the red button....

Anyone have any information on this?

Well known for selling a very high % to companies like Seatwave and Viagogo who of course are online touts.

Is the nothing that they can do that is right?

That is very disappointing....

Friday, section127, and Saturday, section 238....

I have the same pair of binoculars I had for the Olympics!

I managed to get three tickets for Saturday, but they are way up in the gods on the other side of the track....by the way, I hate Captcha!

When I tried 'Multiple Dates' it wouldn't let me buy Friday's. So I didn Friday individually which went fine, NOw I'm trying to do Sat it won't let me :x :x :x Thanks for that...the same is happening to me too now. It's good to know I'm not exactly doing anything wrong, and that there are others as...

Me too, Completely crap tickets. Literally the worst possible. Ticketmaster make it impossibe to actually speak to anyone. Bought Barbara Streisand tickets at 02 recently. I kept being given terrible ones online, but after 2hours I finally spoke to someone who miraculously gave me tickets 20 rows c...

Thanks for that....

I've now got my Friday tickets on the trackside around the bend from the finish of the 100m track, which is not what I wanted, but under the circumstances, I guess beggars can't be choosers....

About to try for Saturday now....

Damn!

I wanted to get some for Friday and some for Saturday, and they gave me all for Friday, so I turned that down.

I may suffer for that....

Flumpy wrote:Ok so I'm in phone at 10am.

The online links don't work. The phone line either cuts you off or is engaged.

Ditto....

Deja vu all over again?

Phone line busy, website crashing....

Shivfan, I think I read most tickets would be mainly in the £12 to £50 range per day over the three days including the Paralympic event. That may be on the British Athletics homepage. I expect those near the finish line plus, of course, hospitality will be a lot more. I hope we have a chance to cho...

At least you won't have to pay £420 quid to sit on the front row at the end of the back straight. :( When the publicity boys really get going and bearing in mind that we MAY actually have some British fans paying reasonable amounts for decent seats( but don't bet on it) the seats will go quickly. H...

Damn, Proctor ends up in fourth....

Shara Proctor still in third place in the women's long jump....

Edwards and co going on and on and on about Chambers being so upset he didn't want to speak to Phil....

Outside of us and Caribbean no one is doing well at sprints right now I think it boils down to tradition...for better or worse, at sports days at Caribbean schools, the sprints are taken very seriously - more seriously than they are in British schools. But on the negative side, the other discipline...

Gaby knowledgeable about athletics? You've got to be joking! :lol: I would much prefer listening to Colin Jackson talk about athletics than Logan any day.... The day they take off Jackson, and replace him with Logan, is the day I mute my TV, and stop listening to BBC's coverage of athletics. Colin h...

The selection procedures for the Paralympics are nothing short of farcical.... http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/sport/Quota-system-ousts-J-can-duo-from-Games_12326679 It's no surprise, then, that smaller countries with less clout feel that they are marginalised by arbitrary decisions taken by the orga...

Read that St Kitts have NINE officials fot SIX athletes...clearly enough for a quorum to decide on Collins. and to justify the number on the plane,.wonder what the balance is for UKA for overses trips? Ridiculous, isn't it? The St Kitts athletics associations reminds me of the West Indies Cricket B...

What a race!

I'd picked Blake to win this, but what do I know?

Fraser-Pryce wins :D Good finish there . Jeter looks happy enough with silver. And VCB makes it two medals for Jamaica...might be a few more of those :D Great race.... :D Six athletes under 11 seconds, eighth clocking 11.01. Madison clocks 10.85, and finishes outside of the medals. Jeter and VCB do...

I agree with what you say above, Ursus....

so much more imaginative way to get the flame lit with youngsters nominated by some great British athletes of the past. A great design and piece of engineering; so uch better than the sterile stuff going on for the last year about the most likely or worthy person to have the honour. I agree with yo...

Okay, I usually come last in this sort of thing, but here are my predictions.... Men's Shot Put Reese Hoffa -1 Dylan Armstrong -2 Christian Cantwell -3 Women's 10000m Vivian Cheruiyot -1 Tirunesh Dibaba -2 Someone from Europe -3 Men's 20km Race Walk Wang Zhen -1 Luis Fernando Lopez -2 No idea -3 Wom...

Sorry...watching it on telly, and thoroughly enjoying it....

Stock gone down Bledman and his bullshit nationals time Chambers - no hope Agree with you on both counts.... I was particularly disappointed in Bledman - that 9.86 had got me excited. I was also a bit concerned by the number of athletes who pulled out...could the rain have had something to do with ...
