    Got there at 3.40am, thankfully raffle system in operation, they opened early at 8.45 and I was 78 in the queue, served at 9am. All proceeding like clockwork.

    There are thousands down there.
    And if you want single tickets they still have all price bands left from reception. Also saw 3 instances of people with an extra stub giving them away, well done you, shame on the ebay mercenaries, so if you havn't got a stub and only want a single, get yerself down there, you might be lucky.

    Thanks to all the Trust members for organising the raffle, made a long night much more bearable and also thanks to the efficient operators on the turnstiles, hope you are all rewarded somewhere.

    Why do you seem to think its not possible for people to have got the tickets & still be home for 9am?

    I think people are disputing the fact that it's going slow. And your estimate that there are more people down there than Saturday, which just isn't possible. Half as many maybe.

    think that it is disgusting that they now admit they still have seats available in all price brackets after those queuing on thursday were told there wasnt.
