Did you have any luck bidding for Olympic tickets?

I wasn't aware that Tuesday midnight was the deadline for taking your ticket money until the 6am news during Wednesday's Show. So when I logged onto my credit card website during a song I received a bit of a surprise. Let's face it the whole process is just weird.

Where else would you pay in credit for products up front, not knowing if you would receive some, or none of the goods? Where else would you be lucky enough to be allowed to buy one, or even all of the products you've ordered, not knowing when the money would be taken? Where else would you, as is my case now, have some money taken for a product not knowing what you've bought?

Not that I'm ungrateful, I wouldn't want you thinking that. At least I have tickets for whatever it is I've been allocated, and at least I'm not bankrupt by getting all that I asked for. That's not the case for my poor producer Mary who was so keen to sample the Olympic spirit that she bid for Taekwondo and BMX tickets. However it seems that Taekwondo and BMX racing is the new black. Mary's Olympic bid has gone the way of England's World Cup bid. All her enthusiasm drew a blank, and she can't even blame Sepp Blatter.

So how did you get on? Did you get what you hoped for? Or were you like the much publicised Mr Hunt who had the shock of his life when he won 11 thousand pounds worth of tickets, after hearing that they'd be hard to get hold of...whoops!
