I'm not 100% sure but I think we have landed some (money has left our account) although no idea what for.
Extract from an e-mail that I have just received:
We had an overwhelming response for Olympic Games tickets, with 1.9 million people applying for more than 20 million tickets. We are sorry if you did not receive all of the tickets you applied for - across all sports, two-thirds of price categories were oversubscribed and went to ballot. However, there will be further opportunities to purchase tickets between now and the Games.
This starts with an opportunity for you to request some of the remaining tickets from 6am on 8 July to 6pm on 17 July 2011. These tickets will be allocated on a first come, first served basis and cover a great range of Olympic sports Download the full list of available sports
During this second chance sales window you will only be able to submit one application, and you will be able to apply for a maximum of three sessions. Once you submit, you will receive an email confirming your application. We will advise you which tickets you have been allocated within 24-48 hours, subject to successful payment. All payments will be taken between 18 and 21 July 2011.
