Re: 2012 Olympic Trials Tickets
C is great. Seats 5,6,7 give you a straight look down on the take off board for the LJ. Morning sun until 11 or so. Also good look at the shot put. So you've got that going for you, which is nice. 8-)Originally posted by bruce3404Leave a comment:

Re: 2012 Olympic Trials Tickets
Hey Marlow, I'm in C, row 12. Strangely (or not), I decided to take no chances this time (see my original post) and I went online the second seats went on sale. This time, my season seats were moved from A19 to C25, but I opted to go with the C12 seats I grabbed online. At least I would have been happy with A19 to C25 (vs Siberia), but I'm happier now with C12 and a little StubHub action. Didn't go into this with any intent to profit, but I wasn't going to walk away from it either.Originally posted by MarlowLeave a comment:

We had a lot of fun talking to athletes and our seatmates were awesome. Actually met a woman as crazy about the sport as I am. We would both arrive super early and get all teary as we rhapsodized about what we love about track. 8-) Of course that had little to do with the set assignments but it was a blast.
Hubby appreciated all the leg space as well.
Not sure-is it possible to request seats there next time? I would feel gypped sitting anywhere else.Leave a comment:

Re: 2012 Olympic Trials Tickets
I had friends with seats in that area. It was great because organizers had tons of seats there reserved for athletes or whomever to hang out instead of selling them all to fans. Since those seats were only randomly and sporadically filled, there was lots of extra space for paying customers to spread out, as opposed to the sardine-like accommodations closer to the finish line where I was at.Originally posted by jkjoregonLeave a comment:

Re: 2012 Olympic Trials Tickets
I have seats in section C now ( which I really like)Originally posted by 8aldP|23 , and also got my "letter". Understand I've been a season ticket holder for over 30 years paying for 4-5 seats. In 2008, I was in section B and got put in Section F-far north end of West grandstands- for the Trials. I got a feeling that for the 2012 Trials in Yogi Berra's phrase, it will be " like deja-vu, all over again" 
O.K., so I am feeling a little sorry for myself. 8-) :P Kind of like I was expecting lobster, and I only got steak. :lol:Leave a comment:

Re: 2012 Olympic Trials Tickets
I just got my letter too. I was put in the East Grandstand for the 2008 Trials and at the top row was unable to see the scoreboards without ducking down. The finish line seemed like it was a mile away! I got in on the "before sale to public" option and was pretty heated about where they put me. I ended up next to some great folks and had a great time. Next year I'd be very happy in B, C, D or E. (C is the best!)Leave a comment:

Re: 2012 Olympic Trials Tickets
Most meets I sit on whatever side is opposite the finish line just to avoid crowds. Not really a viable strategy for the OTs at Oregon (worked great in Sacto - and thanks to the breeze it was cooler there too).Leave a comment:

Re: 2012 Olympic Trials Tickets
I agree. Though it has been a long while, I saw a lot of meets sitting in the East Grandstand and the view there is much better, in fact it was my favorite place to sit opposite the finish line area, than those in the far North end of the West Side. You can't see squat up there. I rarely sat in the West Stands, a fact the locals are also onto, if you can't get near the finish line on the West.Originally posted by ghLeave a comment:

Re: 2012 Olympic Trials Tickets
But there are many (most?) seats in the East that I would consider superior to the West. I'd consider anything in the first 50m of the homestretch to be about the worst seats in the house. (and I'm a bit of a maverick in that my take is that for true enjoyment of a whole meet, on the finish line itself is one of the worst seats in the house)Originally posted by PegoLeave a comment:

Re: 2012 Olympic Trials Tickets
This all reminds me when I was a student there in 1976. When tickets were available I went to the ticket office, bought a season pass for $36 and had a seat 20 rows up, right on the finish line in the West Grandstand. A blissful time.Leave a comment:

Re: 2012 Olympic Trials Tickets
This is exactly correct for me. Not having hammy's entrepreneurial spirit, I just called and cancelled the Duck tickets.Originally posted by bad hammyLeave a comment:
