  • I was refreshing and they hadn't come up. Signed in and out and now they are gone. Bloody hell.

    gone now or that stupid message, must be the most infuriating ticket system ever, why not just not have them on there if there aren't any

    also have developed a massive hatred for 'captcha'. They might as well use hieroglyphics.
  • I can never tell what any of those words are. Ryanair's are the worst they use random letters and not even real words that you can guess only knowing 50% of the letters. Argh. I think I would rather be in a queue in person all night than do this every day.

    ive only gone and got a ticket!

    i'll be at the olympic park on tuesday, what a touch, the site does work, just luck of the draw and what a relief i dont have to search anymore cos it was doing my head right in!

    Brilliant!! congrats
    cheers suzi... i picked them up from greenwich park yesterday and made a day of it there watching the games on the big screen with a few beers and a pub lunch!

    keep going and good luck to ya...?
  • Think I'm gonig to officially give up on getting tickets now.. .but going to head up town and watch the triathalon for free tomorrow... chance of gold for GB again.
  • Someone i work with had last week off. Went down to Stratford on the off chance, got chatting to some people and ended up getting some free tickets to the Hockey...chaps had a load of Corporate tickets with them and not enough of them to use them all so werehanding them out....I am sure it was a one off but I am sure standing at the gate is more interesting than pressing F5 over and over again and you can always go shopping in Westfield if no luck!

    been sitting on the website for an hour now, 5 requests for tickets, lets you sit on it for 10 mins before telling you there are none available - how f**king annoying it it!!! ARGH

    Suzi, i have just brought 2 tickets for tomorrows evening session, was going to go with my mum. I called her and she cannot go, i was going to get a refund but then i thought of you. Would you be interested?
  • Any of you lucky buggers who have already been to the Olympic Stadium able to shed any light on my ticket location? Cant seem to find any proper info anywhere on stadium layout

    What bridge does it say? C?

    Taking a guess from where my seat was, I'd say you are towards the front of the upper tier at the opposite end of the Olympic flame. Would have been great for the pole-vault! To be honest I don't think there are any bad seats, and these seem pretty good, well done. What session?

    poxy ticket website tells you there are tickets available then makes you wait 10 mins before telling you there's none

    I was in 241 CWLC. You'll be pretty much on the 3rd bend I should think, 150/70m out from the finish line.

    Sorry if I'm making a stupid suggestion but for applying for different bands of tickets, is it not possible to apply using several different tabs, or if that won't work different browsers.

    Firefox for £50 tickets, IE for £100 tickets and Chrome for £150?

    nope, because you're logged in. I guess using different log ins could help?

    Thought it was probably a stupid suggestion but worth mentioning.

    I guess you'd need a different payment method for each login though.

    At this stage I guess anything is worth trying though.

    Proper gutted for my mum, she had some tickets and has been unable to go.

    just seen some more on there dont fancy paying £725 a pop tho
  • I managed it!!!!!! I got 2 tickets to the womans semi final tomorrow night!!!! Sorry @suzisausage. I had been trying for 4 tickets for days with no luck. I had basically given up to be honest, went on it half hour ago on the off chance, typed in 2 tickets, expected the usual error message & they came up!! So excited but at the same time feel bad for Suzi as she probably deserves tickets more than I do. Keep trying Suzi, my persistance eventually paid off, hope it does for you too!!!
  • Wondering how much you had to shell out, Chrissy ...

    Wondering how much you had to shell out, Chrissy ...

    £95 a ticket for the woman's GB hockey semi final. Worth every penny for a once in a lifetime opportunity in my opinion. Gonna go up early in the morning & spend the day in the Olympic Park to get my money's worth
  • Well done, mate ! Make sure you shout good & loud !
