Heads up - tickets just released, including track cycling
- Thread starter mp3duck
- Start date
so, I am being a kind forum member letting people know that they might be able to get tickets, and you're just rude!
Guess you're not a fan of the Olympics!
that confused me at first until I saw it said "15 minutes or more"
Sadly no luck yet for me with getting track cycling tickets, and looks like most have now sold out too. I don't think there were that many of session tbh
tbh, I am not sure how else they could do this! If everyone hits the site at the same time, the system would not cope. At least this way, you don't have the site crashing.
it is very frustrating waiting 15-20 minutes only be be told there is no tickets, but I suppose all that has happened is someone ahead of you in the queue got there first.
Not really any different to joining the queue at an actual sporting venues (i.e. Wimbledon). There is one long queue, and 10 ticket booths. If you're further back in the queue, you may end up getting to the front to be told everything has been sold!

Did you add them, and then "request tickets", as adding to basket doesn't mean you have tickets..
If you got to the stage where you have actually been assigned seat numbers, then went to pay, and find that they have gone, that's a different story. Happened to me 4 times in a row Monday night!
Great news! Well done and enjoy
It's not the websites fault! it does say "more than 15 minute" wait, and there isn't many tickets, so people just ahead of you got the tickets!
Highly unlikely to get one from an official source at the venue
You add tickets to your "shopping list" then click "Request Tickets".. After a possible queue, you may or not been assigned actual seat numbers, and given the opportunity to pay for them. Simply adding to your list doesn't mean you have tickets.
If they isn't any you can still submit the same basket again, as the tickets stay there until you either remove them or your session times out.
You need to submit your list. There is sometimes a problem (I've had this a few times) where you click "Request Tickets" and you go straight back to your list. If this happens, close the browser and start again.
You click "Request Tickets" that should take you to a screen that either shows your ticket, or a message saying no tickets. If it doesn't, I think it's because or an error, so I've found I had to open a different browser and attempt there, or close everything (and clear cache) and try again
Edit: It could also be because you've added tickets to your list which others can no longer add, as they've sold out. I guess it should still allow you to submit and say no tickets, but hey.
