Sorry - only just seen this.
Yep - my CC statement came yesterday and they've taken the money. I can't seem to get to a 'my account' page on their site now so can't see what that says - I might give them a ring.
This blog in the Telegraph from yesterday is absolutely spot on:
London 2012 Olympic tickets: Games organisers face battle to restore enthusiasm after first ballot Telegraph Blogs
I better not be getting any emails from LOCOG asking me to buy Paralympic tickets because they can f*** OFF.

LOCOG apparently announcing what is left today. I'm informed that there might be more tickets available than many expect.

I've just had an email from PayPoint.net with subject: REFUND!!! Not in my account yet but not looking good
I am willing to bet that nearly all of the remaining tickets will be in the higher price bands, I just hope they realise they have f***ed up and offer them at reduced rates so people can actually afford them.

2.3 million tickets left. 1.7m of them for football and I expect quite a few of them will be £20 tickets.

I was only looking at football, seems there was quite a small take up of football tickets in general, more £20 tickets gone than any others, though still plenty left, plus absolutely loads of £30+ tickets. Apart from the mens final, it looks like every football game has tickets available.
Sadly that means I got football tickets, not shooting tickets, as the shooting is all sold out, I got £60 worth of tickets, so I'm guessing 2 x £30 football ticket and not £30 shooting tickets.
I just got an email confirming my application was unsucessful and giving details about the second round ballot. It seems that you will only be allowed to apply for tickets to 3 sessions in the second round (with hindsight, I bet they wish they had used this rule first time around!!). Although the second-round ballot appears to be first-come-first-served, which will surely just result in their website crashing!
I've jsut recived an email saying that I've been allocated "some or all" of the tickets I applied for. They are Updating my account apparently, but will not find out until 24th what the specifics are. Can't be arsed to cross check CC statement to see whats been charged and what the possible ticket allocations could be from that.
I applied for a couple of days at the shhoting, the cross country of the three day eventing and a morning and evening 9different days) in the early heats of the Athletics. Of anything, I'd like it to be in the main stadium.

Abort, retry, fail
£48 worth of tickets. I was buying in pairs, so presumably just one event that i went for. Hockey, opening ceremony, athletics or beach volleyball..?

Same for me. I will be in Majorca on the 24th when the ballot comes round again, which is actually good news. It means the site will open at 7am for me, so I will be on it as soon as poss.
Got the same email.
I don't think they should have limited applications to 3 sessions, they should have just designed the allocation software to only give you one session, until everyone had been given a session, then give you a second session etc (not quite that simply, but along those lines). The problem wasn't that people applied for 10 sessions, the problem is whom they gave the tickets to.
I assume that's a jokeI will be in Majorca on the 24th when the ballot comes round again, which is actually good news. It means the site will open at 7am for me, so I will be on it as soon as poss.
