    I've applied for gymnastic, equestrian (dressage) and cycling (men's team pursuit final! :eek:) so who knows, probably nothing. I'll go for the second chance tickets though, and the resale early next year maybe if trains/hotels haven't shot up in price! I can but dream :rotfl:

    Me too, am starting to wonder if I put in the right card details

    Just checked and I have put in the right details. Guess if nothing shows up in my account I will have to go for the second chance tickets too.

    Well I applied for 6 events and it looks like I've got 2 tickets for one of them. It's either... the tennis singles finals, some athletics finals (though not the men's 100m) or beach volleyball semis. Really pleased to get any of them, especially seeing as a lot of people haven't heard anything yet.

    not a sausage, shame really because me and my friend got diagnosed with advanced cancer 6 years ago and it was our dream goal to stay here for the olympics and now can't even get a ticket!!, oh well we are both still here, which is better than any ticket. But would of been nice to celebrate that goal reached together. Have to watch it on tv with a glass of champagne instead.

    6% for me - gutted. Have been saving for tickets since it was announced was coming to UK. Provisionally booked campsite for the whole time it was on (don't worry - I will get refund) - and all for tickets to waterpolo and modern pentathlon. surprised trampolining and bmx have sold out. Also applied for tennis, gymnastics, athletics, football, diving - mix of finals and early rounds + ceremonies. 8 tickets from 59 applied for.

    I applied for two £20.12 Opening Ceremony tickets and two £65.00 Men's Football Final tickets. Fortunately, I got the football ones.

    Let's hope the it's not something like Zaire v Luxembourg.

    I applied for over £4000 of tickets and my account has just been debited for £122.

    Not even sure what I've got.

    Bitterly disappointed to say the least.
  • Judging from what's been taken from my account I have tickets for the Opening Ceremony for sure. Too soon to tell what else, if anything, I might get in the lucky dip.
