how do you see how many tickets are left??

You cannot. There may be one ticket, there may be a thousand.

I've been trying for 2 days now, late into last night and most of this afternoon and nothing yet .. I wouldn't be surprised if the accredited ticket companies are gobbling all of them up by running ticket requests on multi screens. I've been on countdown for search for tickets for at least 20 times and still never get any tickets.

Same here, echomiaow. I've not managed anything and I've been checking every 15 minutes or so, occasionally finding ghost tickets and running through the process for the inevitable "no tickets found" screen.

I hear the odd story of success so it's probably like matching three balls on the lottery or something!

same here got home by 9.30pm tonight to be online, but no luck on the cheaper tickets, by the time I pressed on request tickets the time just went up from 5 minutes to 7 minutes to eventually 15 minutes and no luck. Cheaper athletic tickets gone by 11pm, I really hate the ticketing system so much.

been trying during the day too, my friend had a success story on Wednesday evening so I thought if I got online early enough today I would manage to get tickets too but no luck.

edited to add I'm just talking about the cheaper tickets, had no problems two days ago adding expensive tickets and getting to the payment stage, but 725 pounds to see the men's 100m final, its one months rent!

same for me too
poised, ready and waiting when this evenings came up, but no luck yet again. its utterly soul destroying!!!

Just feel like giving up but that little voice in my head keeps saying gotta be in it to win it. Its not as if I'm trying for cheapest tickets, can push to £150 but even these seem to be elusive.

Its so dispiriting and such a bad system

lizards

Yeah, I've been pushing it up to £150 a ticket but nothing

to those of you who have been trying for days

were you using apps to help you? E.g.

its blocked now but there are tips on the page, I can't follow the tips as i m not using Firefox on a computer, I'm on a tablet so perhaps if I had been using a computer and maximised my chances by using the add ons I may have been successful in getting tickets, I give up now! Good luck to you all xxx

I also don't have the fastest internet connection.
