I know registration doesn't start until 9 am - but how do u sign up once it's live? Do u use the PPDS website, at the moment there isn't anywhere to do it.
I think it was via a 3rd party website last year.
Certainly was straightforward.
Let you know in 1 hour 21 mins 🙂
it is really like that ! 🙂

Registration button now there... doesn't work yet lol
ARRGGGHHHH bloody website crashed
just sat up after a night shift to register - got part way through to find no UK as an option in the drop down box - then it through me out and now servers are too busy.
WTF?

Easy peasy to enter but places are going fast, especially from the major centres.
WTF?
Not the first time the site's crashed when registration opens. Don't worry, they'll sort it out in a few days.
On site for 14 mins so far. Overloaded and not responding !
almost done...can't pay though
I can't get in, FFS. KEep getting a 503 Service Temporarily... etc etc
poo!
i've got all the competitors info done... just wanna pay 🙁
getting 503 error too
still trying - still waiting.
how long are tickets usually available for before they sell out
"your payment was rejected" Grrrrrrr
there is a message up.... website is busted "please try again later"
IF you could all stop trying for 10 mins i'd very much appreciate it 🙂
Website saying technical problems, come back later now! Grrr
33 mins - when I got through to confirmation stage I had 7 registrations, tried to delete them, timed out, back to square 1 😥
You'd have thought they'd take this sort of thing into consideration before hosting it on a mobile phone...
I suppose I should count myself fortunate that in prior years my mates have done my registration !
How fast does it sell out?
So, to hang around and keep trying in the hope that I can log on in a few minutes, or to go and do something productive, and see what the situation is later today?
Anybody managed to complete registration before it all went tits up?
Currently.... Never... if i can't pay/register, neither can you..neither can anyone else.... then we have nothign to worry about...
it can't sell if no-one can complete.

I got close... but i was registering 3 riders... it worked sweetly for rider 1... then went a bit wrong...
I need a poo and a coffee... but i can hang on....
How fast does it sell out?
I registered at 9.05 for Les Gets on the sunday and 70 places had already gone. So pretty quick for some places. No one seemed to have chosen Avoriaz though so there is likely to be options still available.

In 2008 we bought Sunday tickets from Torgon 2 weeks after registration opened (bit rubbish as a start point but better than nothing). Les Gets/Morzine and Chatel will all sell out today I think, I suspect Saturday will sell out first, then Sunday and finally Friday. I am trying for Champery or Morgins.
well, i finally managed to load the registration page, and a message popped up saying "registration closed until 11.15am. I think.
Site closed till 10:15 UK Time
Well i MAY be sorted for Morzine on the Friday
"Duplicate payment request
Access refused!"
So i'm hoping that means we're done..
just worked for me.
Morzine Sunday, 200 places left. 😉
at least we have time for a coffee now....
Sorted - Morzine, Saturday. Took ages though. Just keep trying.
You got your confirmation mails ?
I've got my registration confirmation mail but still getting
Duplicate payment request
Access refused!
I have to leave for a meeting at 10:30 and will not be back till 12:30 - could be terminal 😥
Weeksy - Fingers crossed. I think Friday's a good day, everything is fresh and the food/drink will not have run out
Got a confirmation email, another saying that they've taken my money.
But it's all a bit of a shambles, same as every year.
Bazinga! Booked!
WWAAAAAAAAHHHHHH 🙁
All booked up 😀
On a slightly more helpful note than "bazinga!"..... there looked like there was plenty of availability - Morzine on the friday said 685 or something like that
its working now
morzine on friday 🙂
god knows if i'm in... trying from another server as i can only get the duplicate payment info and no emails etc.
Site reopened at 10:15, all booked up within 4 mins - phew !
done! Phew, 9 riders for Saturday 30th fron Chatel.
Can't wait!
Good luck everybody!
Kev
Yay, i'm in. Friday from Chatel.
Anyone else doing it from Chatel on the Friday? I'm on my lonesome 🙁 with the family on holiday so wondering if i could tag along with anyone. Could be a long day on my own...
Chris
ikimbunza - I'm sure you'll find someone to tag along with, just get to lift early and ask around. I'm riding for Team Normal No Mates too (Saturday from Champery) as my friends want to do their Alps trip in mid-July
ARRGGGHHHHHHH. PAyment refused with other card and payment method... so i may have 0 entries... or i may have 6.
Well i think i'm in for me and the lads.... although how many i've paid for i have no idea at all LOL
That worked better that time. 4 riders, Saturday, Chatel. Can't believe I had to book for two people that live in Chatel.
All booked, Sunday, Chatel, see you there boys and girls 😀
Morzine sold out for all days!
ikimbunza, we'll be a scruffy bunch of 6 mainly grumpy Yorkshire-men starting out of Chatel at about 8 am on the Friday if you want to look out for us, I've a blue Orange 5 (compulsory Yorkshire bike of course!)and number 728.
James
Friday Morzine for two people booked! That was bloody frustrating though...
James,
Fantastic, thanks for the offer. Email in my profile.
Can't think of anything better; Yorkshire banter and Alpine trails 😉
Chris
I got 7 in for Les Gets Friday - finally. Touch and go, as each time I registered the next rider the number of spaces dropped loads.
Quite why you would enter more than one rider at a differen start point Ive no idea. Anyway, panic over, we are in.
Do you think we should have a mass STW Pint-athon in Chatel?
We are doing it on Saturday morning, but it might be good laugh to meet for a pint at some point over the weekend?
Kev
Yeah, why not mate.... Although i don't know if i/we can get from Chatel to Morzine after
So 24 hours on ....
Chatel, Les Gets and Morzine are sold out for all days, as expected, these are the most popuar biking resorts certainly with the Brits.
Lots of start places still available.
Avoriaz for Fri and Sun - 60+ places each day
Champery all days 199, 51 and 203
Crosets All days 163, 126, 162
Lindaret Fri (157) and Sun (89)
Morgin Fri (180) and Sun (195)
Torgon all days 172, 166, 172
We started Champery last year. Village nice, but a bit dull. Also, doing that ****ing DH run at the end of the day was a bit terrifying for a mince-core big jessie like me.
****ing Nora that was steep!
Kev
Signed up for chatel start on Sunday for 4 of us. Can't wait, spending the week there afterwards.
