Where's your good spirit? youre just wound up because you didn't get a ticket, right? Neither did I. We all tried our hardest to get through. It was just down to luck in the end. It is frustrating not being allowed to go to the best event of the year but that's the way it goes sometimes. I think if we can't all go then a type of lottery would be best, that way we don't have to spend 2-3 hrs trying to get through all at once. Have a heart :) Hey! that’s not fair.

(i am still miffed about it, though) It might be that some of the extra oodles of people were from all the postal applications, which would have been tallied up and added on at the end.

The <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6422715.stm" rel="nofollow">BBC story</a> says <i>"although it meant about 250,000 people who had registered would not actually receive tickets, "it hasn't increased the number of people being rejected". </i>. Surely if they are confident that fewer touts will snap up the tickets then LESS people will get rejected as there are more to go round anyway? It seems strange that they'd word it like that.

Am a bit annoyed that they extended it at all. P says maybe they were worried that there were sufficient duplicates in the first months' worth that they wouldn't actually be able to sell all their tickets. BUT STILL. Quite.
