HibeeJibee Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Anyone else had their conformation come through today? Got Weightlifting (final) Lawn Bowls and Judo (finals), on the 1st weekend... Gymnastics in midweek... plus Squash and Table Tennis (both finals), on the 2nd weekend... so fairly pleased with that. Missed-out on Swimming, Cycling, Boxing and Netball (final) but those were all higher demand so not a massive surprise. Seemingly anyone who got nothing gets first-dibs in the second tranche - which might be a touch controversial, as with London 2012, where you get people who just took an outside punt at the 100m final having advantage over someone who put in for a few events and only got one lowly one. Then people allocated tickets now get second-dibs. Then whatever's left goes on general sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick_89 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Got 4 tickets for the 100m final, and 2 tickets for the athletics on the Saturday night. Never got the cycling but chuffed with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Decent. I saw Athletics at London 2012 - and have been to Hampden plenty times - so didn't put in for is this time. With both Games, I was quite organised and thought out a strategy when applying... which I think helped land a decent 'package' of events... but it was also a balancing act: of putting in for more than you'd really want in the realisation some were longshots, but not overdoing it incase most came-off. Pleased with the end result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fudge Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Was extremely lucky to get 2x tickets for the 100m final, 2 x tickets for 200m final and 2 x tickets for all day of the boxing finals day. No swimming or cycling though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BishyTON Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Got 1 ticket for the Triathlon and 1 for wrestling. That's it - gutted as I am a massive track and field fan and really wanted to see either the 5k or 10k race as I run those distances all the time myself. Didn't even get tickets for the 7s!

Christophe Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Table tennis and badminton, not over the moon as had applied for other stuff i'd have prefered to get, but happy enough to have something. I'm sure i'll be able to pick up more in the general sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hockey and Cycling. Both on the same day, though fortunately two different sessions. Didn't get any for the 7s - find it hard to believe that would be over subscribed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footiechick Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Got the netball final. I had applied for track cycling and hockey too but never got them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Still waiting to hear - fingers crossed I hear tomorrow, as much because I want to know how much I have left to spend on gig tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you applied for the tickets on one application then you'll find out in the same email. Got around half of my ticket request - disappointed to miss out on swimming and cycling. Did get tickets for badminton, weightlifting, wrestling and athletics so fairly happy with my lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Got 1 session of Mountain Biking and Track Cycling and a mate has a 7s ticket for me too. Missed out on all the athletics which I really wanted to see, but sounds like I haven't done too badly! Worth mentioning that in the London 2012 draw I got nada, and when I finally got onto the website for the 'second round' nothing was left. Despite that I got to loads of events- even busy ones like Tennis. If you have nothing, there is still opportunities as resales and corporate returns come online.

HibeeJibee Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 applied for 1 tiket to:gymnastics,table tennis,boxing(all just qualifiers,no finals) and the athletics with the 100m final.didnt expect to be successful for the athletics but only getting the boxing out of the other 3?pish.shades of euro 2000 qualifier i suspect as a matter of interest,does anyone know if each application has been dealt with in its entirity?or can you expect to hear over several emails over the next couple of days,even if all your tickets were applied for in one go? As noted by TheNaitch, the E-mail you got is the only one you'll get. You will now have an opportunity in the second stage of the 2nd tranche - since you got tickets to something you won't be in the first stage for what is left, but you will have a chance, before the remaining tickets are thrown open to general sale on a first-come-first-serve basis. In that respect, you're a bit unlucky, as I alluded to in one of my earlier posts - if you had got nothing at all you'd maybe have been in a better position to get a few good things. That happened to me with London 2012... I'd applied sensibly for a few events, although quite cautiously, and got nothing. A friend of mine got nothing: except a session of Greco-Roman Wrestling. Due to that I was in the first stage of the 2nd tranche and got a few decent things, while he was in the second stage, and so didn't. Worth mentioning that in the London 2012 draw I got nada, and when I finally got onto the website for the 'second round' nothing was left. Despite that I got to loads of events- even busy ones like Tennis. If you have nothing, there is still opportunities as resales and corporate returns come online. I was reading that unlike London 2012 they haven't committed to a resales process yet - although that doesn't mean "No" of course it means "Maybe". Seems if they do have one it'll be more limited than London where you could put all or any part of your tickets back into the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamonds2002 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Got heehaw. Really disappointed as I only applied for the sessions I genuinely wanted to attend even KB'd from the hockey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
