    yep I went through to payment then failed! Now back in the queue, 15 minutes for at least 5 and not moved, not looking good!

    Ok one more time and then im giving up! I was on exactly at 11am and tickets are not available?

    Just cant understand, people with tickets to the events should surely be given priority since you can only see the orbit if you are in the park. Infact we should have just been emailed and offered to purchase tickets.

    Now on my fourth try. Not happy. First one was only 2 minute wait, then 13, then over 15. All times got to entering payment details, then it said request failed.

    UPDATE: Fourth attempt was successful! Went online dead on 11:00, finally got tickets 11:49.

    If you're still trying, DON'T GIVE UP!!!

    Annoyingly there have been no tickets at all released for the day we’re going the 28th July, despite press releases saying this was the day it would open. I could have booked park tickets for a different day had I known…
