I would like to copy part of my post (#15), which everyone seems to have ignored:

Uh, I would but I have no means of doing so at present.
Here is a picture of one from the official London 2012 site.
That site suggests they will be valid on the Javelin - but is this restricted to Olympic Stadium tickets only (i.e. not elsewhere as with mine)?
Although entry to the Olympic Park during the games is only available for those who have purchased a £10 ticket, which have already sold out. (Unless of course you have a ticket to an event in the park).Can't see anything with any restriction. It's not unreasonable you'd want a look at the Olympic park as well as wherever your ticket is for.

I am still unconvinced that my £10 ticket will include a travelcard. Time will tell
I thought this was built explicitly as part of the Games Transport network, to link the O2 and Excel (both venues) more easily? That it's not included in the travelcard wouldn't be breathtaking if it wasn't so inevitable.Emirates Air-line (or the ArabFly Dangleway as Diamond Geezer puts it
This page includes a link to a map stating that the ticket is valid on Southeastern High Speed services. I wonder if a ticket to Boundary Zone 6 (routed Any Permitted) combined with the Games Travelcard is therefore valid on High Speed?

They are definitely not valid beyond Stratford International on HS1 so the appropriate ticket would been one to Stratford International rather than BZ6.
Where is this stated? I cannot see this mentioned anywhere on the Games Travelcard Map (it simply states ''Games Travelcard is not valid for travel to and from Ebbsfleet International'').
This is true, however the Games Travelcard map does not state that Stratford Int'l is outside the zones, as the Games Travelcard has validity on Highspeed services.None of HS1 counts as being within the Zones, so BZ tickets are not accepted. Though I was interested to see that Stratford International is clearly shown as being in z3 on Southeastern's onboard route maps...

The Manual
Games Travelcards
Games Travelcards for travel in London Zones 1-9 & Watford Junction
All customers with tickets for Games events in London will receive a complimentary one-day Games Travelcard for unrestricted travel throughout London Zones 1-9 and to/from Watford Junction on the day of the event.
Games Travelcards will also be valid on the high-speed Javelin service between London St Pancras and Stratford International stations.
Games Travelcards will be sent to customers with their 2012 Games event tickets. If the customer does not have a Games Travelcard they will need to buy a ticket for their journey in London.
Customers with tickets for Games events at Eton Dorney, Lee Valley White Water Centre, Hadleigh Farm and Brands Hatch will be able to use their Games Travelcard to travel by National Rail services between London and the recommended stations for these venues. No additional fare will be payable.
The recommended stations for these venues are:
See specimen Games Travelcards for the Olympic and Paralympic Games - click here.
- Slough or Windsor & Eton Riverside for Eton Dorney
- Cheshunt for Lee Valley White Water Centre
- Leigh-on-Sea for Hadleigh Farm
- Sevenoaks for Brands Hatch
Please note, while Games Travelcards will be accepted for travel on the high-speed Javelin service during the Games, existing Anytime and Off-Peak (Inboundary) Day Travelcards are not valid for travel on this service. Customers who do not have a Games Travelcard and wish to travel on the high-speed Javelin service will need to purchase a valid ticket for their journey in the usual way.
Interesting, Slough, Sevenoaks, Windsor & Eton etc temporarily in Zone 9!
I've wondered if you are holder of a games TC if it is for use as 1 return on HS1 to Stratford from St Pan, or if you could do a bit of mini 395 bashing in the meantime going back and forth from St Pancras and Stratford?
