Isn't the ticketing system a global one ? Or does the ticketing system people are complaining apply only to the UK?

UK and Europe I think, from news reports I read it seemed like many other countries allocations were done on a first come first served basis.

Does anyone know what would happen if you didn't have enough money in your account for the tickets?
The money will mostly be taken by using a debit or credit card. Normally if there isn't enough money in the account then simply the transaction will be declined. However, I've read in this case the money will be taken out and the account will go into the red.

From what I've read if they try and take the money and you don't have the money or credit line you get contacted to try and sort it out.
But if you don't have enough cash in your current account but would using your overdraft then they will use your overdraft.
Theres probably several people doing exactly that on purpose.
