    I know its early days, but nothing yet taken from my account? 🙁

    Just curious to see if anyone has managed to get everything they asked for?

    Good luck to everyone btw.

    If you’d written that charging app you’d be running a few transactions through then double checking all the transaction files before you just switched it on to let it go crazy, so I expect a very slow roll out with the charging given they have opted for a month long window to process it all!

    toby1 agreed(+1). I’ll be very impressed if it all works – seems like a very complicated system to write.

    fingers x’ed that we get all our tickets (except for the speed canoeing that we applied for by mistake…)

    Thank’s toby1 for the insight

    So chances are we couild all be in for a long nail biting wait, hardest thing for me is going to keep enought funds in the account for the payment to clear 😉

    There was someone on the radio bragging that he got his complete order of tickets though (£400), which included the opening and cycle track tickets.

    not here.

    its interesting re: the 100m final. they say 1m tickets, but if you think about it, the average request will be at least 2 tickets, and there’s 50,000 seats (or thereabouts) meaning your chance of getting some is 1 in 10. Sure, that’s not great, but i’ve subscribed to things with much lower odds before

    I imagine the majority went for the 20 quid tickets of which there will be a lot less than 50k.

    Not when you take out seats for sponsers, govt and press.

    80,000 seats, 40,000 for sponsors 40,000 for us according to Seb

    Still nothing here too, saying that, I don’t know anyone yet who has had a payment taken?

    When did they say they would stop putting the payments through?

    so apparently 60% are now done. Nothing on my end – anyone else? How much was taken vs your maximum figure?

    I’ve had mine taken

    comes up as O2 on the statement – several issues of tickets here already, each for a bit less than I was expecting too. Woohoo !!

    Scaredypants – sorry if I’m missing something, but why does it show up as 02?

    I had the same but have reported it as a fraudulent transaction.

    So does anyone know of anyone who has been charged for tickets yet?

    Everyone I know who has put in for the lottery is still waiting too?

    What I am curious about is, did the people who got their payments taken first, get everything they ordered or just part?

    Nothing taken out of my account yet, wish I just ordered from Europe we pay taxes towards the Olympics then have to go in a ballot. I really hope I get nothing If I did of know the hassle from the start I would not of bothered.

    Had a small amount charged today, this would imply I have only been succesful in getting tickets in 1/10 events I applied for or are they charging one event at a time, anyone know?

    Looks like I had a small amount charged today too, also suggesting that <10% of my (reasonably chunky) application was successful. Maybe it’s an initial payment, but if that’s it, I’m a tad disappointed/ underwhelmed…

    Better than nowt though. Probably find it’s something else and my wife has been ordering more Boden stuff for the kids (tho’ she denies it!).

    so, apparently 2012 ticket payments are completing on tues. I’ve no sign of anything going out of my account, which i’m pretty surprised by as I had a load of tickets for a load of random events. Whats the score with you lot?

    Nothing at all, still holding onto hope that there will be loads going through today before midnight.

    What are the chances that the ones that are going through today are all for one or two tickets only?
