Lottery tickets Olympics

Earlier this week I received an email from the Beijing Olympic Ticketing Centre to inform me on the amount of tickets I had won in the Phase 1 lottery. Actually for quite a lot of events I signed up for I received tickets. I tried to get tickets for opening and closing ceremony, but those were so many times oversubscribed that I didn’t get any. And all the swimming I signed up for resulted in 0 tickets Maybe I can get a hold of those in the phases to come…
