Olympic ticket application grumbles

It’s been a bit last minute, but we have put in our application for Olympic Games tickets. I can’t say I’m impressed with the application system. We’ve applied for more tickets than we want (on the basis that we’re unlikely to get them all) but whilst the payment for any tickets we’ve managed to get will be taken between 10 May and 10 June, we may not actually find out what we’ve got until 24 June, so we have to assume we will have to pay for them all (ouch!) Plus you can only pay by Visa which is annoying.
