Tickets are still popping up on the official site for Eventing, Pure Show-jumping and Pure Dressage categories. Sometimes they're expensive, sometimes not.

XC tickets are still appearing too. Saw some early this morning, although they had gone to '0' when I looked. There were also some pure Dressage tickets, (seemingly available) although they were the expensive ones.

These tickets get snapped up quick (erm, no surprises there). You have to check the site with almost obsessional regularity :eek: though. Since that's not practical for most people, you could try setting up 'shifts' amongst family members/best friends to keep an eye out for you.

Just to recap on an earlier post in another thread, I didn't get ANY tickets at all in the ballot or in May this year. I was really p****d off, to put it mildly. However, over a period of two weeks from late June to early July, I managed to get tickets for all four days of the Eventing. I'm now so chuffed, I've even bought the Wenlock Equestrian badges. That makes me laugh because I didn't like the official mascot of the Olympics when I first saw it. Funny how you can change your mind ;)

Keep trying for tickets........don't give up!
 
I got one for Kur on Saturday morning :) There was nothing at first, but went back 20 mins later and there they were.
 
They seam to add tickets about 7-8am and about 1-2pm. When they first come up they don't always come up under the 'search available sessions' but show as a available and can be bought if you search for all sessions.

Most of the tickets seam to be singles and I've certainly had more luck buying single tickets. I've managed to buy OAP show jumping tickets on several days for my mother, and I'm trying to resist dressage freestyle ones for me cos I really can't take another day off work!
 
Seafarer abd Shazzababs: Congrats on getting tickets.

Timing of the listings: Yes, there are often early morning listings. I've even seen some up at 5am! Other notable times are around lunchtime to mid afternoon, but other days there's zilch.

Agree about the individual ticket thing. I got two tickets for XC, but bought them separately, just in case the computer said "No" to a multiple purchase.

The first time I bought a XC ticket, I freaked out because the page said it had been unable to process payment (even though I'd double-checked everything). As I watched the 'timer' on the page, my heart rate went crazy until I realised the problem....you have to click into the 'tick box' saying you agree to their rules, etc. Yes, that's all it was!

Now that I've got tickets for all days of Eventing, I must admit that I'm tempted to get other equestrian ones. Must be strong though, as I've spent enough already :cool:
 
Tried for eventing xc but didn't get any - showed up as none available when I went to the next page and I couldn't have typed those damn words in any quicker!

Anyone get xc? I am your best friend if you need me to be :)
 
Arggh! I am checking obsessively for 2 Show jumping tickets and keep seeing them listed but gone so quick! Just wish could actually get some (any would do) or it was all over so I can get some work done and my life back!!
 
For the lucky ones that have tickets can you please confirm are they for actual seats or just for entry. Just thinking if its worth tying to get 1 at a time rather than trying for a pair but as one for my daughter don’t want her to end up sat on her own

Click to expand...

They've got an actual seat, row and block allocation on every ticket.
 
So frustrating - I keep trying and it doesn't matter what I do, every time they show tickets available and I try to get one the search keeps coming up with Not Available. Just now tried to get SJ tickets as showing as available and it won't even let me buy one!

I've got tickets to the Team Dressage final but my horse-mad niece is desperate to go to anything and her dad has tried over 50 different times with no success whatsoever. Just very, very frustrating and disappointing.
