    Me too. Guessing you need to put in your country as United Kingdom.

    Same as RobertFoster if I use Ireland as my listed billing address. Works if I change it to the UK :/

    Perhaps you don't need to sign up to the Guardian website, instead going directly to:

    http://www.audiogo.co.uk/guardian-eat-pray-love (354 MB)
    http://www.audiogo.co.uk/guardian-zen-art (397 MB)

    and using the codes in the OP.

    You will need to sign up to AudioGO though (with a fake UK address).

    Hey guys,

    Sorry for the confusion - I'm in the UK.

    Didn't think being in Ireland would be a problem though; The Guardian's T&Cs say:

    The audiobook is available to download in the UK and ROI from Monday 30 January, until midnight on Sunday 5 February.

    Have you been able to download them?

    Here's the guardian link. The link provided above is correct but it looks like they are no longer allowing direct linking, you seem to have to be referred from the Guardian website.
