    Phoned credit card company this morning and they confirm the difference between my available and limit is for Olympic tickets £396 worth - so happy, I wonder what they are - most expensive request was for £250 (5 x £50) so we must have at least 2 events of some tickets.

    Good luck to all of you

    I'm disappointed to have only been debited £215 as (taking into account the merchandise and credit card fee charged) it means we only got tickets for one event (the swimming, or the dressage).

    We live in the Middle East and would have to come over specially for the Olympics, and it's not worth it for just 1 event. I am really disappointed.

    Looks like I have got zilcho. This system does seem to be very unfair. Ive heard of people getting all their requirements and others none. Surely thats not fair?

    Sounds like we made the mistake of only applying for the tickets that we would use in one persons name and we've got nada. Should have got all our friends and family to apply too then we might have stood a chance!

    On a side note, we said we wanted some merch too, just a programme and lanyards, wonder what happens to those orders if you don't get any tickets?

    I wanted merch too, but no tickets yet, I wonder if we'll get them - with our luck probably not :(

    Or maybe they're waiting to do us last and we'll get everything we applied for??? :p

    Doens't look like I'm getting any either- didn't want to go made so applied for 2 lots of athletics and both ceremonies. I knew they'd be popular but I thought I'd go for what I really wanted first and then look at resales later. It is disappointing but I guess there are still 11 hours to go....
