I've not had any rejection/allocation emails and I thought allocations were supposed to finish by 10th june?

My understanding (just from what the press have been saying, I didn't apply for any tickets myself) is that any money would have been taken from your nominated card by 10th June , but you won't actually won't be told what tickets (if any) you have until 24th June

p00hsticks is correct. If you've had no money taken by now it's extremely unlikely that you have been allocated any tickets. The good news is that you (and other unsuccessful bidders) have first chance in the next round of sales.

Second chance sales will include tickets for lots of great sports including Basketball, Beach Volleyball, Boxing, Canoe Sprint, Cycling (women's Mountain Bike), Football, Handball, Hockey, Taekwondo, Volleyball, Weightlifting and Wrestling. So there are plenty of chances left to be part of the greatest show on earth.

Guess I've just been saved a couple of thousand as I am only interested in the sport not the occasion so I don't want to attend something to say I've been!

If anyone who hasn't got tickets is interested in booking a package with thomas cook they have some fairly reasonable packages available still including tickets for various events including athletics, football, boxing, beach volleyball etc. For example there is an overnight package with the Mens Football semi final at Wembley one evening, and qualifying athletics the next day for £349 per person, and the seats are not the cheapest ones. Hotel is a Holiday Inn. Worth checking out (and I don't work for thomas cook!) Just trying to offer hope for those who missed out. I got some tickets but missed out on the cycling and equestrian, still just pleased to get anything.

You can now get onto the website to look at what you originally applied for no indication though what tickets you have got. But at least I can work out what we got (as I lost my original email!)

No luck for me

Got the mens football semi final and final at Wenbley :j, now I have to decide who to take with me and if to go to both events, I really wasn't expecting to get both!

I was suprised today to see that £386 had been debited from my
account by London 2012 Tickets on June 10. Like a few others
it's for the Men's Final Football at Wembley Sat 11th August.
I'm disappointed not to have got the Athletics tickets I actually requested
(For me Athletic's are the Olympics) but having had quite a few tickets
for Barcelona 92, and having to give them up because of work commitments, I'm determined not to miss out on an Olympic Final this time.
Just hoping that my mates cough up the readies as quick as LOCOG were
to take their loot.....:cool:

Like Murtle I've just saved myself a lot of money as I won't pay to see something I'm not interested in. Instead we're going to try and get tickets for the "London Prepares Series" - http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/londonpreparesseries Same venues, same events, no doubt the same athletes, just no olympic medals.

Email confirmations are coming through about tickets.

I've checked the next round tickets and all the events I wanted are all gone So unless I want football, handball, volleyball, wrestling, rowing, sychro swimming or a few others the choice is very limited.

Oh well looks like that's it for me.
