Still waiting for Olympic tickets :s

Options
Is anyone still waiting for their Olympic tickets to arrive? I managed to get some in the 4th round of resales and they've not turned up yet, however the ones I ordered after that and my paralympic tickets have all arrived. Does anyone know if there's a section on the website that tells you which of the tickets have been dispatched?

    I've had mine for the Opening Ceremony which I got in the first round but my wife is still waiting for hers for the Closing Ceremony which she got in a later round.

    Don't know if that helps.

    I got my para tickets on Fridays but still waiting on olympics tickets ordered back in May when more tickets were released.

    My boss at work has hers. Although she ordered a further lot also in May and they haven't been received - but the funny thing is Gill order a couple more only a week or two ago and they HAVE arrived!

    How long do you give it until we chase them. If tickets are for the 7th August - i said volunteering on 30th July so wont be around to sign for them and also wont be back in time to collect from the delivery office...

    I totally appreciate the huge exercise in packaging up and getting these tickets out but it is slightly concerning when tickets ordered only a week-two weeks have arrived and tickets ordered before that haven't. I am sure though, I hope, it will all be ok. Think I give it a until middle of July before I chase them.

    PS - also when I e-mail to enquire as to the order of despatch, I was advised they are not delivered in any order!! I therefore assume they are working on the basis on the date order of the actual event??

    It's really annoying, doesnt make sense. But at least there seem to be a few of us in the same boat, thats promising :s just wish there was something on line that tells you which have been sent and which are waiting

    Ordered tickets in the first round, delivered on Saturday. I presume the thinking is if you deliver too far in advance people lose them (sell them).
  • The tickets I got in ballot, I had delivered 3 weeks ago.

    The tickets I bought most recently (3ish weeks ago), I had delivered last Friday.

    The tickets I purchased a couple of months ago, have not arrived yet.

    Looks like we're all in the same boat so hope that reassures people.

    I ordered park tickets and a few days later Orbit tickets, the Orbit have arrived but not the park ones(for the same day). I've had hockey arrive before badminton and they should be the other way around if done in date order. There appears to be logical sense to the order they are sent in. I've had tickets from each round and they haven't come in that order either!

    I am still waiting on mine.

    Have any of you had a confirmation number from the delivery people ?

    Ive only got my confirmation of purchase. Bought mine in May.


    Impossible to get hold of anybody in customer service

    Most people report only one day's notice of delivery by text or e-mail. Until then the purchase just shows up on your ticketing account.
