Cant see another thread....

So they open at 0600 tomorrow. How long do you think we'll be stuck in a queue to get one. And will all the good ones be gone by the time we do

I'm setting my alarm for 0530 I think 🤔

Oh blimey I'm 9 thousand and something in the queue.

SophieHatterPendragon · 16/11/2021 05:45

Was on the app nice and early but missed the start of the queue… oh well 9k I’m isn’t too bad! It will move fast

BatshitCrazyWoman · 16/11/2021 05:46

I'm always awake at this time, I don't do midnight 😂 Trying to decide if I need a slot or shall I do my 6 am dash to the actual supermarket ..

Position 21967

How smug must it feel to be position 1 in the queue. I would never know as never that lucky (or organised enough) but that would be so cool

17676 ...I'm hoping it goes down quickly !

GoodnightGrandma · 16/11/2021 05:47

Sorry, started another thread the same in ‘Christmas’.
I logged on at 05.40 and I’m 6223 in the queue.
Got to go to work so looks like I’m not going to get one.

The queue moves quite swiftly, IIRC

The app hasn't put me in a queue yet, does that mean I'm already in? Website number 1540

KnottyKnitting · 16/11/2021 05:52

I joined on my iPad at 540- 18409! In the queue! My basket is already full so hoping that once I get to the front I can quickly choose the slot!

toolazytothinkofausername · 16/11/2021 05:52

I woke up at 5am to "join the queue", went to the toilet... and fell asleep... on the toilet Blush Thankfully woke up again at 05:40 Grin

Scroll to slots if you aren't In the queue and keep refreshing

How have you filled your basket, it won’t let me in ?

Is anyone else jealous of the Tesco IT people in charge of letting people in...imagine THE POWER

themerrywifeofwindsor · 16/11/2021 05:54

How odd! Have been on the app since about 5:30 and at 5:50 I was just able to book a slot on 23rd Dec! There was already nothing on 24th though, how can that be if booking isn't even supposed to be open yet?? Confused

Poeta · 16/11/2021 05:55

I've managed to book my slot on the app just now no queue, website is still stuck on queue paused though, so glad I checked the app! Back to bed now!

TheFairyCaravan · 16/11/2021 05:55

I’ve just booked mine on the app. I was 10906 in the queue on the website, refreshed the app and the slots were there.

toolazytothinkofausername · 16/11/2021 05:55

Mine says "the queue is paused"... does that say that for you too?

Flossie763 · 16/11/2021 05:55

I've just got mine booked on the app, no queue and it looks like the slots were released about 10 minutes early.

superstar84 · 16/11/2021 05:55

They don't deliver on the 24th

AngryBudgie · 16/11/2021 05:56

I must have been near the front as it's just let me book a slot for 23rd at 9am
