More on sale today from the ticketing website.
First come, first served this time, the system some punters insisted should have been used from the start despite it collapsing when used by the French resellers.
Sale starts at 1100hrs.
Ticketmasters software expected to keel over at 1112hrs.

Going to be a good week of sport interrupted repeatedly by queueing and underground problems.
On one hand i've not been able to find a single affordable ticket for any event in the Olympic Park on the day I would be coming down. On the plus side it was only taking a few minutes to be rejected, and it is actually working because it was willing to let me reserve tickets for the football in Coventry, which I subsequently rejected.
Ah well, China v Japan and South Korea v Belgium in Womens Hockey it is then!
Me? The fencing was £30, the other two were £20 apiece. I think the only ticket more expensive than that all week I've purchased is for the first night of the athletics, for which I've been relieved of £50
Diving
Gymnastics
Olympic Park
at 11:16 i finally got through the queue and got tickets for olympic park and Gymnastics
which will replace tickets i already had for basketball and gymnastics that clashed with my shifts as i am a gamesmaker volunteering at the games
I am a happy chappy!
Really wanted artistic gymnastics but the only ones available were £450 each!
and got tickets for both the paralympic opening and closing ceremonies on the tickets website today too
No chance more like:
"Scheduled updates to the site are taking place. Unfortunately you will not be able to view this page during this period. Please try again later or contact the London 2012 Customer Service team if you need further assistance."
They held some tickets back as contingency awaiting stuff like stadium configurations & how many media spaces required etc.
1102hrs. Spent an hour the night before working out what I could get to due to expected travel times and knew what I was going for as soon as the sale opened.
Think I've tickets to ten different events costing an average of £30-odd. To hell with paying hundreds for slightly better seats.
Is anyone able to get on to the site today? I'm getting the same 'under maintenance' message as last night.
To think how 3 minutes makes such a massive difference!
I am a bit puzzled how i got gymnastics tickets to be honest
as diving had better availability before tickets went on sale and gymnastics was down as limited availability.
i could only select the £295 category
when i was in the 15 minute queue which kept going up and down but in reality it was about 12-13 minutes I saw others posting about trying and getting no results found after the long wait so i really expected the worst
couldn't believe it when my wait time was up and all that had been removed from my selection was the diving.
Thrilled i got gymnastics ticket as it means i don't feel as bad giving up the ticket (gymnastics) that clashes with my gamesmaker shift.
Suprised i got the olympic park evening pass as i expected them to be snapped up quickly as they didn't seem to be available for second week of the games
If i have an evening Diving ticket am i allowed to enter park earlier in the day to soak atmosphere and watch stuff on big screens before i go in?
Yes you can - let's be honest it makes sense from a transport & security perspective for people to stagger their arrival times rather than everyone turning up an hour before.
