Equestrian tickets - Official 2012 - Keep Looking!

I'm having no luck at all, even with alerts and CONSTANT checking and calling I just cant seem to get any :(

There must be something I'm missing!

I got mine by practically 'living' on the 2012 website, hitting F5 until I thought I'd go round the bend :eek:

Tickets have been put up on the site at least three different times today.

They ARE coming up and you have to be very fast.

Good luck! That is a given, as nobody can be refreshing the site 24/7.

Ps: Meant to also say: Have two search browsers open - one checked to show all available sessions (Greenwich) and the other unchecked. Sometimes the exciting orange 'select' button shows up first in one search parameter instead of the other. Sounds odd, but it helped me bag my tickets.

Also, log on and put something random, such as football or fencing in your basket, so that when you select the dressgae or sj, you dont have to retype that silly word. It saves a few valuable seconds. You can easily then remove the unwanted ticket before you proceed.

Ive noticed tickets being put up fairly late.. Between 10pm and midnight.

Good luck!!
 
I'm not allowed to say someone has just had to fly suddenly to America tomorrow due to family illness problems and was attending the two dressage finals with a friend. (Team and music I think)
You could however find me on FB sue@narramorefarm.com and I could tell you their name?
Non profit making so hope this is permissable...poor lady's grandson born two days ago is very ill so she is flying tomorrow if possible.
Hope TFC is feeling benevolent...

Oh My... I would have loved the music one, but will be out of the country myself now...
 
TICKETS FOR TOMORROW's DRESSAGE ON SALE NOW ALL PRICE BRACKETS

Other tickets for Dressage 'currently unavailable'...don't know what that means.

I got straight into a 3 minute queue, thought ooh, promising... but nothing. Yet when I go back and search, it's still saying tickets are available.

Very annoyed as the train prices are going up and up!

The tickets have now gone to 'zero'. It takes the software a while to catch up once the last tickets have gone. It happened to me (in June and July this year) on at least five occasions. Really annoying to be beaten to a ticket by perhaps just a few seconds, but do keep trying.

Btw, the tickets are now coming up at all times of the day.

I gave up trying to get tickets ages ago as too frustrating. Just come back from a week working down at the Olympics as thought if I cant see the events I may as well earn some money from it instead !!!

I like your positive attitude. While many of us were emptying our bank balances (buying tickets), you were increasing yours. Nice one!

Good for you! :)
 
I tried to get one team dressage ticket more or less as soon as they became available (i have an alert on), i had it set up so i skip the code word thing which slows you down, wait time came up as 1 minute.... and i *still* didn't get a ticket!!

SJ tickets allegedly available now!
 
How can you set it up to avoid the code word? That is a nightmare for me, I have to ask for a new one several times cos I can't tell what it is!
 
I don't think I should tell you this as i am still waiting to get tickets!! ..... i have some dummy tickets already in my shopping basket (eg. for football as lots available!) so i have done the code word already. The equestrian tickets then get added to the shopping basket when you click on select. Remove the dummy tickets then hit request tickets.

Hasn't helped me so far though :-/

The whole system is just ridiculous.
 
I've been watching today's SJ at home, so did not see recent tickets for the Dressage (7th) until a few minutes ago (all gone).

Am posting this to re-alert everyone to the fact that ticket are appearing all day at any and every sort of time. Appreciate that a lot of you have seen them coming up at around midnight (for next day events), but stay sharp and check as often as you can.
 
KingfisherBlue - your right. Looked at about 10:00 last night and got another 2tickets for today’s show jumping. Think someone posted earlier - think getting tickets should be an Olympic sport in itself!!! FYI we are going again tomorrow and I am searching for something else to do after the show jumping. Noticed the tennis finals went up and sold just as quick so its not just us horsie folks having trouble getting tickets. Good luck all and don’t give up :)
 
Someone bought me tickets for the Jumping tomorrow!

I have no clue what its like but can you touch the horses at any point?

Does the horse get the gold medal or the rider?
