My 'available balance' is showing £160 less than before, so I guess I got my tickets. Yay!

I have had £256 taken out. If my maths are correct this can only corresond to 2 tickets for evening session with the mens 100m final or 2 tickets to the last evening session with the relays. Either way Im very happy!

[doogie]

I made 4 separate applications (4 Visa cards/4 email addresses) with 17 sets of tickets on each. I went for the Ceremonies, Athletics, Swimming and Gymnastics.

Out of all those I've been allocated just one single pair of £50 tickets.

Applied for £600 worth of tickets, looks like i've had £70 taken. No idea what i'll have got now but it's pretty gutting that even though i went for some fairly obscure stuff i'll only be seeing a single event

I have had £100 taken out - which I think will be for football - picked something that was close ish (Manchester) and likely of getting. I did also apply for Opening / Closing - if I have got either of those I will be very surprised.

>>>>

After doing a bit of digging - I belive I have 2 x Football @ £20 and 2 x Football @ £30 plus £6 postage makes the £106 taken. So no opening or closing ceremony.

So some people who only bid on a few tickets get nothing, yet someone who put up £36k for tickets ends up with £11k worth.. what a lovely fair system

[Kowalski]

I got sweet f**k all.

Seb Coe can f**k off. I always preferred Steve Cram anyway!

To me the most unfair thing about the system was the fact they didnt publish the allocation in each price band to allow the public to make an infomred decision when doing their application. I suspect the reasoning was they didnt want the bad press from seeing how many expensive tickets were available compared to cheap ones.

But the guy that only bid for 4 - 100m final and he got them. I only bid on a few and got some. Im not sure how they could of made it fairer - esp for those that are seriously over subscribed.

I hate Sebastian Coe!

[Wooderson]

Sebbie Coe is a stain. Got bugger all.

Looks like I've got what I requested

[Snufflebutt]

Think I've got tickets for handball, 100m heats/ heptathlon early rounds, boxing, beach volleyball, water polo and basketball - and missed out on tennis, 100m finals and cycling team sprint finals. Oh well, just looking forward to being there. Little bit annoyed that there is now no chance that I'll be able to go to the tennis - I've entered the ballot for wimbledon and now the olympics and still not managed to get a ticket but because those that didnt get any tickets will be given first priority, theres no chance any will be left when I'l be able to bid again.

[TheGayTent]

Applied for 3 grands worth. Got £350 worth.

Will try again in the re-sale and will go to events you don't need tickets for too - marathon, triathlon etc.

[TheGayTent]

Nah, Steve Ovett was the man. In terms of preferences, Coe's not even on the podium coing in behind Ovett, Crammie and Malcolm Elliott (anyone remember him? i think he had a tache and was a joiner from Rotherham).

[diddly-dee]

Agree Steve Ovett was the man.

You thinking of Peter Elliot by the way?
