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????

Mine went from 1 min (counting down from 9) and has just shot up to 10.

I've had a punt on £20.12 closing ceremony tickets so have absolutely snot all chance of getting them...

bisjolympics · 06/08/2012 20:03

I tried those ones earlier today when they appeared briefly but didn't get any.

HalfSpamHalfBrisket · 06/08/2012 20:05

and... no tickets found

MrsVamosGOTEAMGB · 06/08/2012 20:06

Am being kept waiting.

I knew they were holding tickets.

Bet it happens tomorrow night too people.

Keep trying !

3 mins for athletics tickets for me....

Too slow I think. Was trying to get dd2 to go to sleep and missed them Angry I've been refreshing all bleedin' day Angry

Rhubarb78 · 06/08/2012 20:07

none for me either. people are obviously doing something techno savvy to get tickets. its not fair, i applied last april for these tickets! grrrrr. i swear, if i see one empty seat in the athletics, seb coe will be getting a piece of my mind!

MrsVamosGOTEAMGB · 06/08/2012 20:08

Same here, Angel.

Logged off to eat.

Sod's law. Hmm

takeonboard · 06/08/2012 20:08

I got 2 yesterday for the ladies football final at wembley on thursday, it was surprisingly easy!

Rhubarb78 · 06/08/2012 20:08

angel, i saw them as soon as they came up (also been refreshing for hours) and still didnt get them. i only applied for one too :(

MrsVamosGOTEAMGB · 06/08/2012 20:09

None for me.

Ah well.

bisjolympics · 06/08/2012 20:12

None for me. I wonder if they will be releasing tickets every day for the paralympics?

AngelDelightIsIndeedDelightful · 06/08/2012 20:12

Thanks for making me feel better Rhubarb. Sorry you didn't get any either. Same time tomorrow night then everyone Wink

Rhubarb78 · 06/08/2012 20:25

ha ha, see you tomorrow angel. just got the athletics on now and am finding myself watching the seats! dont care if people need the loo, i had better not see one empty seat!

AngelDelightIsIndeedDelightful · 06/08/2012 20:28

angel1976 · 06/08/2012 20:30

And here we are, back in hell. Trying for tickets again... Wink

exexe · 06/08/2012 20:34

I can't help but try for them. I'll be glad when its all over - I'm getting ticket rage. I agree with you Rhubarb - there had better not be any empty seats.
Grr.
See you tomorrow Smile

bisjolympics · 06/08/2012 20:44

No empty seats that I could see in the stadium last night.

bisjolympics · 06/08/2012 20:48

There are tickets left for the closing ceremony at £995 each. I put two in my basket and they came straight up. I can't afford them at that price.

bisjolympics · 06/08/2012 20:50

And £1500 each.

exexe · 06/08/2012 21:08

I just don't understand. Why is this site so shit? If the tickets aren't available, why not take the option off? If there are only 2 tickets, why does it give you the option of requesting 4?
Are these not simple things to sort out?

exexe · 06/08/2012 21:12

I just requested those closing ceremony tickets for a laugh. They came up straight away for me too.

bisjolympics · 06/08/2012 21:15

I've only ever looked for 2 tickets at a time. I guess the site can't update availability quickly enough. Surprising as I'd have thought modern technology would make that possible.

MrsVamosGOTEAMGB · 06/08/2012 21:25

I am now envisaging some poor buggers at ticketmaster having to sit and count how many tickets they have sold, and sort them out, one by one.

What's so bloody frustrating is that you just know that at some time tomorrow, more athletics tickets etc will 'become' available again, in most price ranges, even though now there are none showing.

Some people must sure have fast fingers !
