anyone else on here been unsuccessful in olympic boxing ticket application?

A bomb under Upton Park? :think

 

Nothing - tried for some cheap and expensive ones, early rounds and finals and got FA ! On the bright side though they have announced today that there is a second round of ticket releases next week and there are some boxing tickets available; top prices in some of the womens matches......

The tickets, for people who were unsuccessful in the initial ballot, will go on sale at 0600 BST on 24 June on a first come, first served basis.

 

I applied for 9 sessions (mostly for the early stages and the cheapest tickets in each) and luckily I've been told I've been successful. However which tickets I've been successful in getting I've no idea, although apparently I'll know prior to June 24th. For all I know I may have only got 1 session for the round of 32.

Hopefully those of you who've been unable to get tickets so far will be able to pick some up (and not have to pay touts for the pleasure)

 

Have they taken the money out of your account yet for the tickets?

 

I'd guess so but I can't check my English bank account while in Ireland, I stupidly haven't set up online banking yet and atm's only let me withdraw money not check my balance(a frustrating situation).

So no idea...

 

I got this email today:


"Congratulations! We are delighted to confirm that you have been allocated some or all of the London 2012 Olympic Games tickets you applied for. You have been charged only for the tickets you have been allocated.

So, I dont know what I have got yet, I applied for the opening ceremony and some of the sessions of the boxing....

 

I would bet money that half the tickets have gone to corporate sponsors and **** who have no interest in the sport and that the other half have gone to people who live in london

 

My mate has got some. He applied on our behalf. He thinks Two rounds of mens and possibly one set of womens. He thinks he must have selected the womens by mistake.

The whole system seems ****ing woeful.

 

There are no cheap tickets for the men's event, so we're going for football, semi-finals at Wembley. We got the opening ceremony tickets in the ballot.

 

I just went through my online bank statements for the past month. They took out £20 about three weeks ago - which means that all I have have been allocated is one ticket for one of the early boxing sessions. I was really hoping for the opening ceremony tickets.

But, from my experience you will be able to buy tickets each day during the Olympics from various ticket booths, except finals and semi finals.

 

Nice one mate - did they all ready take the money out of your account for the opening ceremony tickets?
