Olympics ticket site

[Dave the OAP]

Can anyone else get past the Request Tickets page?

It appears to have crashed and there are tickets available for this week and you can't get to them.

quelle frustration!!!

It's not crashed. There is just 200,000 people chasing 2,000 or less tickets. Follow @2012ticketalert and hope you get lucky.

Looks like same old, same old here and no system crash.

Have you not done this before?

There's a disconnect between the "there are tickets available" bit when you search and the bit when you actually say "I want them, are they available?" - the front-end when you search does not reflect the real-time ticket inventory.

There will be thousands of people doing the same as you, so if you do not grab them within seconds of them first appearing they'll have already been taken by someone else.

It's depressing but you have to keep trying!
My wife is getting more and more psychotic as the days go on with her quest for tickets.

you aint half a patronising twat at times.

Yes, we have been doing this for the last few weeks on a daily basis, however this morning is the first time we have got to this page and it just hangs, whereas before it gets past and normally says no tickets available, but at least it gets past it.

Thanks for your comments though. really appreciated

If you are serious about it, you need to be doing it at 3am. They had an interview with someone on the park yesterday who had been doing that since the Games began and only got lucky yday.

Still Paralympic tickets available, though even they are selling out

I can only comment on what I see and a few trial searches were just yielding the same results - search shows tickets available, and then there is nothing.

I'm not sure how I was expected to know about your Olympics ticket search history.

I won't try and help again.

My Neighbor works nights and has secured tickets for 3 different events so far. As you say, 3 am is the best time.

I appreciate your help, but this sort of comment is not warranted.

Anyway I keep refreshing and my mrs has gone off to lie down in a darken room to have a good scream!!

 

[Superseagull]

I got through the other day after several attempts for £50 athletic tickets. Frustrating thing was they offered me £450 tickets. I really wanted to click the accept button but £900 was just too much for me to justify. Keep trying. You may get lucky!

Stop wasting your time and go up to the marathon on Sunday like I'm planning on doing - but don't stand in front of me there!

There are two BIG drops of tickets each day - one sometime after 9am, the other after 6pm (has been 10.20pm).

Make sure you're FULLY logged in when the tickets go on sale (do this by 'buying' and then rejecting football tickets every 15min or so).

If you have to enter password/captcha code when you're chasing available tickets, you'll be TOO SLOW.
