Anyone got lucky so far?
Just managed to get mine online. It was ridiculous the official website and the tickets sales website went down before sales even started at 9pm. The phone line just has an engaged tone.
There were over 400,000 pre-registrations for 177,000 tickets, although only 137,500 are available to the public. So that means each person would in theory have a chance of going every 3 years.
Instead of having hundreds of thousands people all trying a ticket sale system at once, they could just use a ballot system for the 400,000 registrations and automatically allocate the tickets. If you take the collective time wasted trying to get tickets today it would be collosal. It took me a good two hours phoning and clicking refresh.
Any thoughts on this?
