Enfin, les tickets!

Je suis donc l'heureux détenteur de tickets pour les jeux olympiques de 2012, pour les demi-finale femmes de tennis de table, et pour la finale de natation synchronisée. Ça valait le coup de se lever tôt. Le timing a été le suivant:

06:00: Je rafraîchis la page Web pour sélectionner mes tickets
06:03: Je confirme ma commande
06:04: Le site web devient inaccessible, croulant sous les demandes.

Épique.


At last, tickets!

I'm now the happy owner of London 2012 Olympic tickets for the women table tennis semi-finals, and for the synchronised swimming final. It was worth getting up early.

The timing was as follows:

06:00: I refresh the page to select my tickets
06:03: I confirm my order
06:04: The website becomes unavailable, crushed under the demand.

Epic.

Are you sure they are not going to send you an email saying that actually you didn't get them, since they used a non real-time system on a live booking website?

I was not going to claim victory before getting the real confirmation e-mail :) Looks like it's really there!
