Went to collect my tickets from the Stratford Gate Box Office yesterday.
About 15 minutes walk from the tube station ,there is no escape from the route through Westfield shopping centre.
Badly signed (and only in English) we had to ask someone for directions;this ticket office consists of a few scruffy portacabins. There is no shelter from the elements for people waiting , you know it is your turn when one of the assistants sticks an arm out of the window and waves.
There were some ugly scenes as people without the correct documents were refused their ticket allocation
You need:
Confirmation email, reference number,credit card used to buy them with,identity document--passport is safest.
Allow a lot of time if you have not collected your tickets yet and are planning to collect them on the day you are going to use them
They are going to need the army , this could become a disorderly mess.
More hints: this is what I would take when going to the Olympic Park

More hints: this is what I would take when going to the Olympic Park
- Wear comfortable shoes, there is a lot of walking--toes can get squashed in flip flops and open sandals in crowds especially on the tube
- Sun screen, sun glasses,sun hat if hot and sunny
- Light weight sweater-- air conditioning can feel chilly
- Plastic cover up if wet-- noticed Primark had some good quality but cheap stuff a few days ago
- very small first aid kit + paracetamol for inevetable head ache
- Something to chew like polo mints
- Water but not sure what is /is not permitted so check on this.
