    Still nothing taken or pending. We applied for 7 events, all including kids tickets except BMX ?final or semi final x 4 (conc not available) and diving x2 (conc not available).

    I guess we will be queuing up for the tickets nobody else wants next year!

    Maybe there's a chance then! My available credit is always the same as my account balance it never reduces to show what I've spent the last few days before it's debited so there's still time I guess.

    From what's been taken off my Visa credit card available balance today I must have got either 3 tickets for the evening of the 5th August, including the the men's 100m final, or 3 tickets for the evening of the 11th August, including the men's 4 X 100m final, so I'm well pleased.

    Glad to hear that someone got the tickets they wanted! We also applied for both of those, but as only one lot of money has been taken we don't have a clue what for.

    1 event successful out of 16 events applied for.

    No idea which event we have yet, the suspense is agonising. But narrowed down to 2 tickets for one of four possibilities: womens artistic gymnastics team finals, womens artistic gymnastics all round individual finals, mens 10m diving finals, or athletics various finals 6th Aug afternoon. Whichever event it turns out to be, very pleased and excited to be able to go. But a day trip to London now, rather than a mini holiday break.

    Good luck to OPs still waiting, and also with any applications in the second round.

    I've had £138 taken (out of possible £396) so not bad.
    2 events out of 6 applied for. I've worked out it must be a day of athletics plus EITHER modern pentathlon OR marathon...

    I've had £116 taken out (out of a possible £1200!!) so think its either cheap athletics tickets or the cross country on the 3 day event
