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?

Either you're a troll (it is the summer hols) or incredibly naive. Nope no pony patting allowed but the horses do get to stand on the podium :D
 
Thanks Lizzie!

I understand you can't get near the horses but at Cheltenham in the morning you can touch them when they come of the lorries before they go on the sand.

Kauto Star would have loved the XC I agree and it would have been fitting to have him compete this year but have you heard of a horse called Sizing Australia? would of been nice to see him compete.
 
I tried - got to the bit where it searches and counted down the minutes, but already gone. Damn! Trying for a friend who is desperate and I have OCD so said I would try but it's very trying...
 
If you are still looking for tickets keep trying.

I tried and tried to get dressage tickets as desperately wanted to go - then last night I thought I would give it one last try and managed to get one for today!! Just got home from an absolutely amazing day watching the dressage, topped off with a gold medal!!
 
I live near Greenwich - have tried everything to get a ticket - can't afford £175. As a Londoner these games have cost us £2,000 - not managed to get a ticket to anything.

I did go down - saw many seats empty in the distance - only needed one - was told none available!! Would have loved to have seen the dressage tomorrow. A friend is going - freebie tickets - from 'someone' they know!! Her hubbie hates dressage but wants to be seen at a horsey final.

Frustrated! Driven crazy with helicopter noise, road closures etc. Only upside is my lovely horse trying to cope with my sudden desire to go in circles. Hehehehe!!!
 
I just got one thanks to the ticket checker site!! Class B ticket, hope I get a good view! Bit out my price range but thought sod it, this isn't coming around again soon!

So excited! I'm going on my own though, bit nervous but i'm sure it'll be great :eek:
 
This one: http://2012ticketchecker.com/

It's the same site as the benmarshinteractive one linked on page 2, except he moved servers.

In the list with green plus signs, scroll down to find ED004 and click the plus. This will add it to your watch list. You might find the closing ceremony already added, you can just remove that one.

Then the website will check that session every minute for you. When tickets become available, a pop up appears (and makes a sound if you tick the box at the top of the page). Then, use a different web browser to open the link, as the 2012 tickets site is heavily cached and shows old info. So I had the ticket checker running in chrome, and then opened up firefox to actually buy the ticket.

I think I got very lucky, but i'm dead excited!

p.s hi everyone, new here but have been lurking and reading threads for a while :)
 
none come up at all since the £175 and £275 tickets that appeared at 6:30 ish...have lots of refreshes running! Looks like that's it! :(

Ah well, can hack the baby one out in the morning then have an armchair view!

I gave up trying to work over this fortnight - way too distracted by the games - one of the joys of being self employed and working as and when you wish! I am going to be totally bereft after Sunday though :(

Congrats! I got band B earlier :o What price band did you get? I'm a little envious that there's cheaper tickets now, but that said i'm so excited to be going. I only bought one for myself because my oh really isn't interested in dressage. He'd have come if it were jumping.
