    I go in briefly but it said my log in details were wrong. I reset my password yesterday because I created the account ages ago but said my details were wrong. Had to reset the password again and by the time I tried to get back in I was too late. Hope it doesn't sell out soon.

    I'm now getting the following message:

    Due to very high levels of website traffic, we apologise that this page is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later. We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused.

    Is the link people are using from their e-mails beginning with "news"? Mine is and I'm just concerned that there's no mention of tickets in the link itself.

    Would the practice days be any good? Do most of the field go out and play a full round ? Or would it be hit and miss with many sticking to the range?

    Saw it mentioned on twitter that using a VPN and setting it to outside Europe could work but I'm in work and afraid to chance it on the computers here. Has anyone tried this?

    Doesn't make a difference in my opinion. I tried it for sanity sake. I think what is happening is people are trying everything and in some cases they get in co-incidentally at the same time as trying one of those options and attribute their success to that.

    Because of the cack handed way they have set this up, it is literally just pot luck that you send a url request at the very instant a resource becomes available from someone else leaving.

    If they even implemented a load balanced queuing system this would have been avoided.

    Ya it's a bit of a farce. It seems like people could join the waiting list right up until 10am and there was no difference to their priority over people that have been on it for months.

    The format of the message I'm getting now has changed slightly but I don't think that suggests much.

    I think they've temporarily pulled the plug on the sale by the looks of things.

    I just got an email from One Club:

    Due to an extraordinary demand and unprecedented visits to the website, we have experienced technical issues during the course of this morning. We are working hard to resolve this and we will continue to keep you updated.

    We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your support of The Open.

    How? The only tickets listed as available there are practice day tickets....

    EDIT: I actually found the link on the left! Well spotted.

    For anyone else, just log in and go to "Click here to login and buy now" under the ticket waiting list. That's actually some **** up on their part, but I don't care now. Got sorted.

    Tried this but it says I’m not on the waiting list when I’ve been on it since the event first sold out.

    On another point. Did any of you select e-ticket as your option?

    I did, but on my order page it states "This ticket is not printable".

    EDIT: Never mind, I received an email stating I will be informed when my tickets are available for download.

    Yes it has my name at the top of the page when I go into account details. People on twitter mentioned ringing and being put on hold but I'm just getting an engaged tone so no luck there either.

    I e-mailed them a few months back and a guy in the ticket office even said I was on the waiting list and a One Club member. I'm absolutely fuming. Trying to register for the waiting list again now but it doesn't work. An icon appears to be loading when I click submit but ultimately nothing happens.

    Could someone post on here the number they used? No idea why I am not getting the proper number and just getting disconnected rather than being put on hold.

    https://www.theopen.com/tickets
    and the email link

    none provide any link to actually purchase for me...?
