I received my tickets last week but bought a caravan ticket in a secret sale a few weeks ago. I'm panicking now as we are setting off on the 17th with the caravan to attend a family wedding on the Isle of Wight first !!!

I see 32% as well. When did you get yours - in the main resale like I did?

I think we've spotted that the lower number relates to the full price april resale tickets.  I see 38% this morning, but the general tracker shows 65%.   Weirdly if balance payment tickets shows 66% dispatched, then we should be able to calculate exactly how many tickets were resold in the general sale.

My maths is terrible but I put together a spreadsheet simulation and got out the following figures, assuming 175000 total tickets were sold.  

Number sold first time and retained:  173250

Of which dispatched:114345

Number sold in the resale: 1750

Of which dispatched: 665

Doesn't seem quite right to me (only 1% of tickets resold), so i suspect there might be a higher figure of balance payments dispatched which i cant yet see.  Obv i havent taken into account secret resales or refunded tickets.

How long from dispatch email to receipt of tickets? Got my email yesterday but the royal mail delivery tracker says my ref number isn't currently in their system...

By my calculations using the 38, 65 & 66% figures and a total of 135000 GA tickets the number in the original resale was about 5000.

This is only approximate as the percentages are obviously rounded to integer.

( I used 0.38x + 0.66( 135000-x) = 0.65 * 135000 )

Got my mail yesterday and relieved to say my tickets have arrived this morning. I can now relax for the weekend

Mine arrived today, got the mail at 13:02 yesterday, noticed on see tickets tracker my status changed roughly 10:30 yesterday, tix in hand this morning, I could track the start point on royal mail tracker first thing this morning - just copied the link from the mail into a browser and it populated it all - have you tried that?

Could see that it was collected in Nottingham at 15:05 yesterday, so I don't know why you can't see any tracking info, maybe others may have an answer.

My signature is on the tracking info now, I received them at 10:32

Thanks - I got my mail at 1615 yesterday &  input link into royal mail tracker & just get the message :'Please come back later Special Delivery Guaranteed™ items are first tracked when they have reached our mail centre. This may be late in the evening on the day the item was sent.'

I will try not to panic yet & hold off until tomorrow, if things haven't changed by then I'll be banging on the door of seetickets to make sure mine haven't been 'lost' in the system.

Got our tickets yesterday. On the final stretch now!

Cool, debugging my spreadsheet its indirectly the same maths as i've been using.  Its hard to get the model to work though, my assumption of 175000 is clearly wrong, and as you say rounding errors can make a huge difference when you're talking about only 1% difference between general dispatched and total dispatched.

I think making a few tweaks to percentages based on historical data your figure is about right, roughly 4% of tickets appear to have gone up in the april resale, making me pretty lucky!

Being dispatched today if the See website is to be believed.

[gerardfenton18]

Cant bloody wait, i dont remember being this excited in 2014, but then i never knew what i was in for!!

My understanding is that 135K tickets are sold, 175K is the number on site including all staff etc

I guess that must be right, though i always thought there were well over 200,000 people on site
