Don't know yet as not had my bill credit card bill and cant be bothered to try and check.
We only applied for about £80s worth for the football at Coventry so it may be a better chance.

£0 of £200. I thought that the athletics tickets I applied for might be a stretch, but I'm surprised that midweek afternoon non finals Judo was booked out !?! I work in central london so was hoping to pop along one afternoon

£95 of £440. Disappointing but at least we got something, looks like an evening of football at Wembley for me and my lad plus something else unknown for the whole family.

All these folk, bidding(!) for something and then paying if lucky enough to win, but, not knowing what they have paid for
Crazy people, IMO.
It's in the UK, watch the damn thing on the TV, let the foreign nationals buy the tickets, book the hotels and B&B's and boost our economy.

"... City fat cats emerged victorious in the battle for Olympics tickets yesterday as organisers admitted that less than half the seats at showpiece events are earmarked for the public.
The majority are ‘freebies’ going to a parade of corporate sponsors, Olympic bigwigs and their VIP guests.
A quarter of a million applicants failed to get a single ticket in the public ballot. But now it has emerged that only 32,000 out of 80,000 seats in the Olympic stadium – about four in ten – were even available to them for the most popular events. ..."

£68 of £205
Though I think they are 3 day eventing (for the wife and daughter), which is basically all over Greenwich park, so I guess no seats. Nothing for me and the lad.
