Got 4 events queued up. 15 min to wait, fingers crossed! Added cat A ticket for mens 100m Final!

GTRacer · 30 Jul 2012 at 23:58

I got into the payment screen for the 200m final and couldn't find the bloody password for the card I was using. :/

mp3duck · 31 Jul 2012 at 00:24

hmm, still on 15 minutes

How much would that cost? I imagine very expensive?

mp3duck · 31 Jul 2012 at 00:28

£450. and that's not even the top priced ticket!
But, I had some recent windfalls so why not treat myself!

Simon · 31 Jul 2012 at 00:30

I had 4 x£50 tickets for 100m final in basket, iPad wouldnt confirm though and theyd gone by time i got laptop from downstairs and logged in

Merlin5 · 31 Jul 2012 at 00:31

So someone getting just the 100m final ticket, they enter the stadium and leave 9 seconds later?

mp3duck · 31 Jul 2012 at 00:32

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I got a ticket, went to pay, and got a dam error! Now, I've lost those tickets!

Really, if you get allocated a ticket, and get a payment error, you should really be able to try again! Sooo annoyed right now

GTRacer · 31 Jul 2012 at 00:33

Ah well, hopefully tomorrow night there'll be more!

Hope so.. Re done the basket again, so fingers crossed, but I am not holding out any hope now!

GTRacer · 31 Jul 2012 at 00:41

I KNEW I should've used my own card since I remember my own password... but my mum offered to pay. Damn it. I was so close.

Good luck for those wanting some, wish I didnt live a plane ticket and a hotel away

Northern Ireland 2020 anyone?

mp3duck · 31 Jul 2012 at 00:48

I have been able to watch both road cycle events for free so far, as I live on the route.
And I am going to watch the Time Trials Wednesday too!

Then, I have tickets to the Tennis Thursday, so I do have things lined up, but I'd love to get a ticket for the Olympic park

GTRacer · 31 Jul 2012 at 00:52

Yeah, I have Tennis Men's Finals tickets but I really want to see an event or two at the park. Hopefully they just released batches of unused tickets as opposed to the whole lot in one go.

mp3duck · 31 Jul 2012 at 00:53

yeah, I hope so too. There will also be random returns I guess, as people with tickets decide they can no longer go.

mp3duck · 31 Jul 2012 at 00:57

3 min to go on 2nd attempt

mp3duck · 31 Jul 2012 at 01:05

right, really not happy now! 2nd time I've got to payment screen, only to get an error again! Says something about there not being tickets available any more!

I can't see how that works, on the basis that I waited another 30 minutes from the last error, (same reason) yet there were still tickets left!

pdw8 · 31 Jul 2012 at 01:16

I've been trying for over 2 hours now but wife said all 4 of us go or not at all so had no luck with anything sensibly priced yet.

mp3duck · 31 Jul 2012 at 01:19

My view is, as much as you get to soak up the atmosphere by being there, you really want to have a higher priced seat so you can see everything properly. Otherwise you may as well watch on TV!

mp3duck · 31 Jul 2012 at 01:38

I have now had that error 4 times, with the tickets I want gradually running out! Trying to get a ticket for a non-medal session now!
