Coca-Cola is helping to bring the Finale event of the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay, to London's Hyde Park on Thursday 26 July 2012. At the event you'll be able to enjoy extended live performances from some of the UK's coolest bands, whilst celebrating all our inspirational Future Flames - amazing people chosen to carry the Olympic Flame. Join us to Move to the Beat™ of London 2012!
London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay Special City Celebrations presented by Coca-Cola will take place at five locations across the UK:
Cardiff - 25 May 2012
Glasgow - 8 June 2012
Leeds - 24 June 2012
Birmingham - 30 June 2012
London - 26 July 2012
Tickets for the London date are charged at £15 per ticket plus order processing fee.
Tickets for Cardiff, Glasgow, Leeds and Birmingham are completely free and there is no handling fee.
To apply for a free event you must register your details at one of the following links above before 10pm Wednesday 11th April.
Entrants to the free events will be placed into a ballot and ticket winners will be allocated four tickets. Winners will receive an email from Ticketmaster explaining how to claim your free tickets. A proportion of tickets will be reserved for those living in the local areas. Only one registration per person will be accepted.
There are no age restrictions for registration, however if you will be 15 or under at the time of the event you will need to be accompanied by someone who is 18 or over. No more than three under 16s can be accompanied by any one adult.

I received my email today saying I had won 4 tickets but when I click the link all I get is tickets not available yet and there's nowhere to enter the unique code I have . anyone else getting this . help appreciated thanks.

EDIT: today i recieved the following email from ticketmaster.

Ticketmaster regrets to advise you that due to a technical error all customers that had registered for the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay Special City Celebration in Birmingham were today incorrectly advised by email that they were 'Winners' in the Ballot.
As such, and in the interests of fairness, we have declared today's ballot void. If you were able to access or print off your tickets today, we regret to inform you that these tickets are no longer valid and you will now be entered into a new ballot which will take place within 48 hours.

This is to ensure that in the new ballot everyone who entered has an equal chance of winning.

Ticketmaster sincerely apologises for any disappointment that this may have caused.
All successful 'Winners' of the new Ballot will be contacted in the next 48 hours.



So looks like no one has won tickets yet.
