I managed to get a ticket for this a few weeks ago. I just happened to be browsing the site when they popped up for sale! I also got a single ticket so also billy no mates!!! Am still looking... I want tickets for mens 10,000 and 5,000 finals as im a big Mo Farah fan.
 
thank you Tiggs. I tried the tracker you recommended today and today managed to get 2 tickets for eventing show jumping and 1 ticket for show jumping final. Tomorrow - I'll try again for cross country and another show jumping final. Just hope my kids dont mind eating lentils for the next few months!! My daughter will cope - as she's coming to the eventing show jumping with me - but my son? Think I might have a few complaints...They do keep coming up - so anybody who really wants them - its worth keeping on trying
 
What sort of time of day are you all having luck? I am getting a bit OCD about it, trying to get one more ticket for OH who has now decided he feels left out and wants to go to XC day - him and the rest of the world!
 
It seems to be really random Llewelyn! I've been looking for the last couple of weeks and have seen them early morning, mid morning, afternnon, evening (and there are probably some late at night but I don't see those as I'm asleep because of the early mornings:o) Several times I've got as far as the timed search for tickets only to miss out.... hence the whooping round the kitchen when I finally got one:D:D Can only suggest keep trying and will keep fingers crossed that you're lucky!
 
Though not a horse enthusiast myself, my daughter more than makes up for it, so that's how I came across this forum and thought I would add to the Olympic ticket thread. We were lucky enough to get Jumping tickets in the first LOCOG ballot, but were never able to get anything else, until recently.

What I did was to register with the the authorised Olympic sites in Spain, Belgium and France (you are allowed to as an EU resident) and over the last three weeks have got 10 Athletics tickets (including 1500m final) plus 2 tickets for the 'final' of the Equestrian Dressage on 9th August. You end up paying about 10% - 15% extra in fees, but it's a once in a lifetime event in London, so worth it!!i

The only issue is if you can't then use the tickets - we're now going on holiday and so can't go to the Dressage after all and I don't know how easy it will be to return the tickets to Spain, but I suppose that is the risk you run! Anyway, good luck for those still looking for equestrian tickets - my advice is to keep persevering!!
 
I had 2 cross country tickets :) Only for it to say "an error has occured" when I pressed to move to the payment screen. Game over, did not see them again :mad: The error was with the site, not at my end.

Hi Llewelyn,

I got mine at around 5pm. First it said nothing available and when i went back to recheck about a min later, as you do,they were there on offer!! I still pop on as trying to get a couple more athletics. If I see xc i'll try to get you one as we are friends:)

Lami
 
Lami - you are a fab friend! Wasn't expecting OH to suddenly announce he would like to go, but then again he does love Burghley and Badminton.

I am trying intermittently but not had a single orange bite today - probably just as well as my blood pressure goes through the roof and I mistype the security words.

Friend was there Monday, said the ground was fabulous, like a bowling green :)
 
All long gone I think :(
Was about to get the XC but I had a phone call at work. The only time in the day when I didnt look for 5mins. Then they were available, but already gone (that was 15mins ago).
 
Annoying when the software is so slow to catch up with sales on that site. Several are still showing to me as available, some in more than one price category. Bah!

Did anybody here get a ticket today? Hope so.
 
This is hideous. Got the tickets but cant check them out as "Sorry we cannot process your request, try again later" keeps coming up. AARRHHH !!
 
I have just put my two Eventing SJ final and medal presentation tickets up for resale on the Olympic website if anyone is interested...And i also have two nights booked and paid for a The Premier Inn going cheap if we can transfer the names.
 
How much would the premier in be? A nights coming in at £200 on there website at the moment which I'm not paying!
