The news today was saying that over half of the people who applied for Olympic tickets ended up with nothing. So, we should be pleased that some money did get taken from our credit card towards the end of last month, even if it was only one tenth of the total amount that we applied for.
The annoying thing now is that we know we have something, but we're not sure what, and we will have to wait about another fortnight to find out which tickets we have got. Not sure I understand why there has to be such a delay between taking the money and confirming what you've ended up with?
