I was just wondering if anyone here has already been to Greenwich and collected their tickets on the day. How early did you arrive compared to when the session started? How long did you have to queue? Any advice appreciated, I've just grabbed a surprise ticket for Monday :D
 
Hello! I went on Tuesday for the 3DE SJ, got there about 9 and didn't have to queue at all. Was so easy and everyone was sooo kind and helpful! Also, you get given a travelcard so just buy a single ticket on your way there!
Have fun! I am still trying for more tickets!!

I went for Eventing SJ, got the ticket late the night before. I got there just as the session was starting about 1030. I probably queued for about 40 mins. The queue was getting longer after I was in it, and clearly hadn't been that long earlier in the morning because it was only once I was in it that it got so long they decided to start to work how to move the barriers to accomodate a zig-zag queue.... so it might well be wise to get there a bit earlier... but certainly not horrific at any point :-)
 
Give yourself an hour.

The problem is when people ask for their tickets to be printed out, they print out ALL the events you have outstanding online & then spend a ridiculous amount of time looking for the daily travel cards for each of them.
 
We arrived at 10.30 for dressage at 11.00 today and there were about half a dozen people in the ticket collection queue, we whizzed through security and were in our seats within 10 minutes.
 
hi there, I'd definitely go early,
we went on Thursday for dressage that started at 11, arrived a bit late, and queued for about 50 mins....then noticed a sign up saying "Box office open 11am", which is rubbish seeing as dressage started at 11

They may have changed it, as loads of people were really cross!

go early anyway, then there'll be no fuss :)
 
I've just realised the purchaser of the tickets has to be present on the day and given that the jumping tomorrow was a present from someone who can't attend due to chronic illness.

Does anyone know how I can re-sell the tickets? just to give people a warning on here if you want them, they are Category E in case there is a way of selling them.
 
If they were a gift you can use them, it just says you must have the phone no of the person who bought them in case there is a query, but I didn't see anyones tickets being challenged.
 
I have to pick the tickets up Lizzie.

I was gutted when reading online when the purchaser has to be present, bring I.D and the card they paid with.

Was really looking forward to tomorrow :(
 
I only had my credit card with me and they didn't check it that closely, but I guess it could differ on who is doing the checking.
 
Haven't received an e-mail back yet understandably as it must be mayhem but would you just go there tomorrow and take a chance?

If they say no we need the purchase holder present then fair enough just have to accept that's the regulations, will there be a TV to watch the event outside?
