Had some money taken out my account, for my tickes.

Given my car is fvcked, could have done with them taking it out another time.

It's a terrible system.

[WestEndRiot]

I've had £26 deducted from my account so it seems £6 is the postage price.

I think i'm in for a big disappointment, i wanted to do everything in 2 days to cut down on the costs so applied for 2 boxing sessions and a load of shite i don't even want to see in between. I bet i end up with cycling or diving tickets!

[JamesH]

£89 of a potential £1200 out of my account. Disappointed really, was hoping for a few more. I applied for a £200 worth of events for the Mrs' parents so I might not get to go anyway :(

Anyone have any idea when we find out what we've been charged for?

[freddydoesdallas]

James, it will be June 24th when you are told exactly what you have got.

Does anyone on here think they've got the boxing tickets? Any journo passes going spare? DD

[JamesH]

Cheers Freddy...

I'm not sure what to do.... could order more off one of these websites but I've read that the ballot can still take money up to 10th June, so might have to hold on in case everything comes through. I did actually get an email from the 2012 lot about a month ago which said boxing would be available in the 2nd chance tickets, yet there are loads I applied for but haven't got (yet?).

Again, a totally shambolic system!

[Jamie Sanigar]

Looking at emails i got , one said most applications would be sorted by 31st May, and all would be done by June 10th.

Jamie Sanigar said on his facebook that he had been debited £2700 for tickets, god knows how many he put in for

Yes I got deducted £2.7k, wife is still not really talking to me!

I actually applied for around £17.5k in tickets for athletics finals and boxing finals but the visa card I submitted had a £3k limit anyway. I am actually hoping I get the athletics rather than the boxing, been to loads of major boxing events but never a major athletics event.

[johnswan1]

I applied for approx £2,000 of tickets including boxing finals, swimming finals and athletics finals. £0 deducted from my account so it's not looking good.

[Poncey]

I ordered £1500 worth of tickets, and got nothing out of my account so far.

Then get your fat arse to Hamburg

[JamesH]

Has anyone had any money taken today at all? Just trying to work out if they are finished with the ballot or not...

Nope, nothing out of mine since the 26th. Reading around the comments section, a lot of people have been saying that they haven't got any for their minority sports either (handball, basketball, hockey qualifiers). I hope we see a lot of empty venues next summer as LOCOG are going to brush all of this under the carpet and declare the process a success

They said on BBC Breakfast today that they had completed all the card charges last night but I didn't hear them give a date for the second chance tickets. They did say that if you only got a small part of a big order you had a better chance than someone who didn't get any at all but that's contradicted by the BBC news website.

Cheers lads..

So I can stop checking my account now then. I was starting to think the bank might call to note the suspicious activity in my account, never logged into it as much as I have this past week.

And as for the second chance tickets..... Who knows? I've seem some of the contradictory stories around and it doesn't seem like any of them know what's actually going on.

[wrimc]

£86 worth of tickets taken probably just for two boxing events....but we shall seee

were there £40 tickets available for the boxing? That's the same figure i had taken, i'm 99% positive mine was for shitty football (4x£20 + £6 'delivery')

Apologies that I'm banging an old drum here but its all very confusing

[wrimc]

yeah i know, will have to see whats happening with returned tickets in this olympic debarcle.

[Shambles]

Received an email saying that they tried to take some money from my account but couldn't for some reason. After calling my bank, they informed me that the card details I gave were incorrect, something which the screen-shot I took of my details before confirming, prove is a load of bollocks. A shit system and badly run as well. Thank feck for the Germans!

[bfchunk]

Mens 400m final tix for me.

[Old bones Ian]

got to laugh at this blokes luck

[Scottrf]

Wish they would stop quoting the price per second. It's not like anyone will walk in at the start of the race then leave.

[Old bones Ian]

Has anyone else heard what sports they have tickets to?
Got my email today and the 1 ticket i got is to 1/4 final boxing on 8th August

Yep, got an early round of the boxing and some equestrian for my little girl Not exactly what I'd hoped but better than nowt, sort of.

[BillyTKid]

Boxing wise I did good through the official system as i got Last 16 and gold medal day evening session. Through the German site I got both semi final sessions so I am happy.
