I applied for abot £300 worth and new man applied for about £1k worth - still got all my money, looks like I'm not gong to see anything!

Minky, I think the triathlon would be awesome!

Just got an email to say we didn't get anything, but we can try the First Come First Served sale on 24th June. From 6am!!

I wonder how long the website will be up for at 6am?

We got 2 lots of womens football - the only events not to sell out that we applied for, we didn't get anything that went to a ballot.

It's like the Next sale... an absurdly hour with not a lot of the good stuff left. If you want handball, or weightlifting, you'll be fine

I got this too. The email claimed that there are athletics tickets in there somewhere, I'm thinking either v expensive or only daytime heat sessions. I'll have a look though (if the site doesn't crash!)

Have you seen what's available for the next round? Nothing I want to pay for- it's unsold tickets so the unpopular events, and most of the tickets are in the high price bands.

I'm really peed off. I'm a Londoner so will be on the doorstep, but not able to go. I really wanted to take the dd's, but can't afford £90 each for tickets to events they're not interested in anyway.

Just looking now Faith, you are right, it is pretty crap. I think I am going to go and watch the marathon, and try and get Paralympics tickets for track and field and/or wheelchair tennis. I assume there will be less demand for the Paralympics, but I would be just as happy watching it.

Nothing here either and from the looks of what's left I'm not sure I want to be up at 6am in the scrum applying for more. So disappointed, lots of people I know have got more than one event that they applied for, we couldn't even get one!
