[#2756591]

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.

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?

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?

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?

We applied for four events and a charge has gone out today which is equal to just one of those four events but don't know which one! 2 tickets btw.

No tickets yet but we applied for events with pay your age tickets available. Hmmm, could it be that they would go to people paying for 3 full price tickets and not us with our 2 full price and a 2 year old? Conspiracy, us, no, never!!
Still, gutted we've got nowt so far and we went for some really random stuff including slalom canoeing and weightlifting!
Surely they'd rather fill seats with £20 tickets than have empty arenas?

We applied for about £3.5k work of tickets and got £450 taken from the account! Not sure what we have got yet! Oh well might have to go to the Handball after all!

£3.5k!!!! Dear god man, did you really want all of them or were you hoping they didn't all go through?
Anyway, just rung bank and have a debit pending of £48 which is the value of 1 set of 3 tickets. Please let it be the boxing or weightlifting and not the canoe slalom (that was just to kill some time!), definately not BMX finals though!
Oh yeah, it says on the website that payments go out from 10th May to 10th June. Does this mean they still have to ballot for oversubscribed tickets or has that already happened?

We applied for about £600 worth of tickets in all sorts of stuff, mostly in different arenas. Rowing, track, cycling, canoe slalom, athletics, xcmtb. Will also try and get to the time trail and road race. So far no money has changed hands.
