Has anyone had money taken out of their accounts yet — apparently if you haven't by the end of today you've not got any.

I found it all too off-putting and didn't apply - wish I had now!
 
I thought you had until the 16th June to have monies taken out of your account ?
 
Nothing taken so don't expect I have got anything. Only applied for early rounds of SJ'ING too...thought nobody would be that interested in those :-(

The whole thing does seem to be a bit of a joke though. Basically if you are willing to gamble and apply for loads of tickets you have a far greater chance of getting something...
 
Nothing taken yet - applied for about 2K worth of different tickets - from difficult to get ones like athletics and gymnastics, basktetball final, a few tennis, and the SJ final, Kur and XC day - hope we get something!


If we dont, might just take a picnic down to the south coast, and watch some distant sailing from the cliff tops!
 
Yes, I've got tickets :-)!! Money taken from my credit card on the 28th May for 6 cross country tickets. I also applied for the eventing showjumping but didn't get those. At least I've got some - any rather excited now!!!!

On the news this morning it said all money to be taken by tonight.

Good luck everyone!!
 
I only applied for the Freestyle dressage final and have had money taken out of my account today - yipeeeee!!! Can't wait!
 
Just checked my credit card bill and saw money had been taken ... :D Then checked the amount and it doesn't look as though I have been allocated any tickets for Eventing I had wanted to see :-( My partner will be happy though, looks like he has his football and Basketball ...

Darn it ...
 
We had our money taken out on the 28th too :D

I applied for all three days of the eventing and judging by the money that's been taken we've got Dressage & XC - which suits me!! It could be dressage & SJ but I think the SJ (and medal ceremony) was probably more over subscribed so its more likely to be XC - but I am happy with either WOOOO!
 
Has anyone had money taken from Visa debit card yet? I haven't had any money taken - but paid on debit, not credit card. Think I'm just clutching at straws - I really want tickets!
 
Hi

I've applied for two cross-country tickets only. That's all I want. Will be gutted if I don't get them! No activity showing on my account yet. Trying to stay calm!

Congrats to anyone who does get them :)
 
I have had money from Visa debit and looks like I have had the top tier tickets for the eventing show jumping & medals. As that is all we applied for. I am SO chuffed
 
Yes, and they've subsequently stated that all monies will have been collected by e.d of 31-may.

I wonder what they will do about those numpties who applied for loads of tickets in the hope of getting 'something' and who then can't afford all that they won ? I would be rather precede if they were allowed to be selective about what tickets they accepted. To my mind if you can't pay for everything you requested then you should get nothing and all your tickets go back into the pool.....
 
Yippee ! I've had money taken off my debit card but only for 2 "top tier" tickets......for 30th, 31st July (eventing) or 6th August (show jumping) so pleased just can't wait to see what exactly I've got but very happy with any of them !
 
Dont give up hope - I had last night.
However checked my statement just now, and the funds have been taken this afternoon for my 3 top tier tickets for the Individual Dressage Finals and ceremony - hurrah!!!
 
I applied for two tickets for the team SJ final and two tickets for the individual SJ final and medal ceremony - very early, I think at the beginning of March. If I had been successful in all my bids it would have cost £650. I've had the price of two individual final tickets taken from my account, and given all the tales of people getting nothing, am feeling extremely lucky and pleased. Now I have to decide who to take with me: husband who isn't a big SJ fan or best friend who is?!? I've heard the equestrian events are those that are sold out.
 
i applied for all the equestrian events and ive had money taken out for what looks like the cross country. my friend ordered the same tickets and we think she has cross country and either early rounds of dressage or early sj. so spare set of xc!!!! so glad didnt get all as we both couldnt really afford it. just waiting now for final confirmation of tickets. hurry up end of june!!!
 
I have got half of what I applied for either Team Eventing XC or Team Eventing Dresssage .
Cant tell which I got as I'm 60 next year so both are special senior rate £16 jammy or what? :D
 
had tickets confirmed weds. i got xc and my friend got day 2 of evening dressage, eventing sj and team dressage day 1. sooo pleased as we really wanted the eventing tickets. dressage tickets for 2nd and 3rd aug still avaliable at £65 and £95 through 2nd chance offers although eventing and showjumping completly sold out. i got an email about it
