What a complete waste of time... tickets just gone on sale at 11:00am, and you cannot order 'normal-people' tickets! I just want two adults, and all you can order are family (ie. 4 seats), OAP and child. Bizarre. Meh

Sounds more like someone had made a cock up. Is there a phone number??? or on-line only?

Ticketmaster...

It appeared as an option by about 11:10am, but already too late to buy two tickets even for unreserved seating it would appear. Oh well.

Sorry but you were just too slow.
I bought 2 for the Saturday night bang on 11:00. They sold out of the remaining tickets in minutes so BC must have had a fair chunk of them for sale in the priority sale.

Simon, I guess I was just unlucky, cos I sat there screen refreshing from 10:58am onward. Everything appeared at 11:00 on-the-dot except the Adult option, which didn't show until approx 10 past

(What a frustrating experience)

The adult option was definitely there at exactly 11:00 and then for some reason it disappeared shortly after.
It is frustrating though, I went through this countless times trying to get extra Olympics tickets and there was often a 30 min wait between clicking "Find Tickets" and it bringing up the "Sorry, no tickets could be found" message!

BC got 50%

At the moment, it doesn't appear possible to get more than a single ticket (Adult ones keep reappearing as folk presumably change their minds), but I'm not sure I'd pass the 'door check', Tut. Not just yet, anyway!!

I could gamble getting two single adults - since the 'cheap' seats are unreserved - but CBA with that gamble.

I had a look around 1pm (when I finally got time to log in...had hoped to look at 11am but work schedule precluded!).

All gone, of course.

Some avail for Friday daytime at that point, but no use with the kids.

Another time then...

PS - fantastic for British cycling profile etc...to have a packed Sir Chris velodrome will be quite something. Halfords road bike sales up then?!

<boing>

Few hundred extra tickets released this morning for each session at the UCI World Cup mid-November. Get onto Ticketmaster ASAP if you missed out last time - looks like there's still some seats available

Post by **campbell** » Thu Nov 01, 2012 2:49 pm

Awesome spot, Jason.

Team Ford just bought 4 for Saturday qually. Not sure who is going to be more excited...me or the kids!

Thanks indeed.

Glad to hear you finally got tickets, Campbell

I too was gutted to miss out in August (and an instant Ticketmaster website hater...) but this time there are still plenty available, even this afternoon. Maybe due to the poor publicity. I only found out by stumbling across an announcement on Facebook early this morning and managed to grab a pair near the finish line for Sat evening
