Commonwealth Games ticket ballot

[Purplegurple]

So yes I'm totally unreasonable because I know that they say you'll hear by the end of October if you've been successful in any of the commonwealth ticket ballots but I'm so impatient! Had anyone heard about any of the sports yet? X

Nope we haven’t yet. But then it’s not the end of October

I know, hence I'm totally unreasonable but I'm impatient! Hoping to get the tickets for DH's birthday present.

I am equally impatient, we have requested swimming and athletics and as a Swim England member we have some sort of priority on swimming tickets so fingers impatiently crossed here.

Has anyone heard yet?

Just had an email, didn't get them x

Got tickets to 2 events, Closing Ceremony & some athletics.

Got some- weekend badminton for all of us (dh will be happy!) and swimming for me and ds on my non working day. Not too bad a result especially considering we got nothing at all in the West Mids ballot.Unfortunately didn't get anything for the trialthalon which is very near where we live but hoping to walk down and watch some of it along the route for free anyway if that's possible.

I got half of what we wanted in the West Midlands ballot, and dh got everything he wanted (cycling, rugby sevens, diving) in the main one.

I applied for two tickets for swimming in the general ballot and was successful. I got about half of what I applied for in the West Midlands ballot so just applied for the extra two tickets this time.

I got none. My dad got none. My sister got £270 worth!! I hate ballots to be honest, I wish they’d just sell them normally.

Got 2 tickets for squash!

I got none (gymanstics, diving, cycling - all very popular so not surprised!) but my mum's got us some to the T20, so looking forward to that!

I applied for the basketball finals but didn't get them

There's a ballot?
Why hasn't it been advertised and why the hell not just sell them?
T20 @Ruibies you lucky bugger. 😡

Got nearly everything but cricket final and gymnastics. Really excited as got cycling!

No luck in the ballot here either, applied for athletics and cycling. Not surprised as both very popular but a tad disappointed.

Athletics and gymnastics here. Very exciting.

We got beach volleyball and wheelchair /basketball 3x3. I applied for several other events but didn't get them. I feel lucky to have got some, now that I've seen others didn't get any.

I couldn't even apply for a family of five to go to medal events at athletics. Quite pissed off to be honest so didn't apply for any. We have gone to loads of athletics meets over the years but that didn't count for anything. Max of 4 was over the top.

@theforest, we're a family of 5 too, so there will no doubt be arguments over who is going to which event, as we can't all go together 🙄

We applied for both ceremonies, athletics, table tennis and swimming. Got two tickets for table tennis.

The ballot system is poor. You can't get 5 to one top medal session but you can get 4 tickets multiple times for multiple events. How are you going to decide lol.

Oh well. Watching on TV for us

Athletics & 7's. Quite pleased!

Had mine back today, got two events of the five that I applied for!
