trying to book - tickets have got through to the requesting stage but time waiting varies between 7 mins then goes back to at least 15 ...I am wasting my energies are there any likelihoods of getting tickets????

I have come to the conclusion that I am clearly not a quick clicker !

AngelDelightIsIndeedDelightful · 08/08/2012 15:40

Sorry to have alarmed those without id, I had forgotten the print at home option.

TunaPastaBake · 08/08/2012 15:40

Sod it ! I'm going to book for Rio Sad Grin

fruityoatybar · 08/08/2012 16:05

Right, thats enough. I am off to Hyde park tomorrow to watch Kerri-Ann win Gold for GB (hopefully). Anyone with me!?

Ephiny · 08/08/2012 16:08

I'll probably be there - but judging by how it was at the triathlon yesterday, I doubt I'll get close enough to see anything!

Littlemissimpatient · 08/08/2012 17:49

There are tickets for basketball sat. I want Friday!

Saker · 08/08/2012 18:09

Tickets on now! I just got offered two for diving semi - men's on Sat am but my friend didn't want them so anyone could try for those £125

infin · 08/08/2012 18:14

Yes...lots on but who knows how long they'll be there. Got 2 for hockey for tomorrow morning at £45 each...

DebiTheScot · 08/08/2012 18:33

It says there's £50 tickets for athletics tomorrow, Fri and Sat. I'm in the queue but doubt they exist.

HalfSpamHalfBrisket · 08/08/2012 18:39

Debi, has the spinny thing on the queue page seized up on yours?
Mine got to "estimated wait time of less than 1 minute" and has stopped completely. I don't want to assume it's crashed and press the cancel if it means I am actually on the verge of something! (but it has been sat there for a good 10 mins)

QuiteOldGal · 08/08/2012 18:39

So am I Fri night, £50 8 mins to go (until no tickets found)

HalfSpamHalfBrisket · 08/08/2012 18:40

But is your spinny thing still spinning? (panics)

QuiteOldGal · 08/08/2012 18:41

Yes 4 mins to go

bisjolympics · 08/08/2012 18:43

I tried for tomorrow night - £450 Shock but nothing after an 8 minute wait.

angel1976 · 08/08/2012 18:43

I managed to buy a £295 ticket for DH (I'm going to see the Paralympics athletics at the Olympic stadium when my family is here with the boys) yesterday and he is here now and he is practically front row. He just uploaded a photo on facebook. And the best part was? There's an empty seat next to him! Ha ha, to be honest, I don't think I would have wanted to part with £600 just so both of us could go but after how difficult they make it to buy ANY tickets at ANY price, let alone multiple tickets...

HalfSpamHalfBrisket · 08/08/2012 18:43

Ah bugger it appears that mines knackered then. Arse!

Good luck with yours!

QuiteOldGal · 08/08/2012 18:45

No tickets found. Thats another hour I won't get back.

angel1976 · 08/08/2012 18:46

More tickets for athletics up there now for the next few nights...

HalfSpamHalfBrisket · 08/08/2012 18:46

Mine's still sat there frozen - I don't have the heart to presh refresh just incase something miraculous happens.

bisjolympics · 08/08/2012 18:47

angel is he in the stadium? We had loads of empty seats in our section until 7.45pm even though the session started at 7. If he is in a corporate section then they may come along later.

angel1976 · 08/08/2012 18:48

He's in the stadium, he's right by where the finish for the races are, where the timer display is... Yes, screen seems to be frozen now...

Saker · 08/08/2012 18:51

Mine froze with 1min to go on athletics tickets, that I was trying to get for my friend. I thought there weren't going to be any athletics tickets tonight then they put them up a bit later.

LeeCoakley · 08/08/2012 18:54

I've got two simultaneous requests going(accidently) at the moment! I'll probably crash the system all on my own Blush

MrsVamosGOTEAMGB · 08/08/2012 18:56

I tried that last night, Lee - doesn't work. Sad

Ephiny · 08/08/2012 18:56

I must have missed the £50 tickets, why do they have to appear just when I'm on my way home from work! It's £295 or £420 or more now. And if I'm honest I don't want to go that badly.
