Any tips for securing tickets for Real Madrid online

:-|Yep I logged on at 8.30 and keep getting bumped back to stage 3

Just made 6.1

It's clear that the queueing system isn't actually a queue, it's just a lottery, I joined at 8:10 and still only on 5.6

Actually it's quite interesting. The page very rarely actually communicates with the server. I think it loads with a guess at how long you'll have to wait and then checks again much later to see how you're actually doing. This is why it sometimes bumps you back (its initial guess was too optimistic).

The thing is, if it initially makes a very pessimistic guess you will get stuck for ages without getting through and people who got a more optimistic guess in the first place will get through ahead of you.

I'm nearly at stage 8 but I'm expecting all tickets to be sold out any minute now.

I'm so near the end of the queue now it's painful.

trying in more hope than expectation - seems to be the way with most tickets for the lane these days. may have to be content with the telly box

Got a ticket! Was on the phone to my mate who was able to get one for me as i was having problems with the bloody red bar at home.

Was the most stressful phone call of my life because he didn't really know what he was doing. Wouldn't let him choose any seats in the south upper for some reason so i just went for the east stand and he got me a seat in area J, row 1. Doesn't bother me where i sit aslong as i get there. CAN'T BLOODY WAIT NOW!

Good luck everyone else. I know how painful it is.

Just tried on the browser on my phone and I'm already on 10.2, have to keep manually refreshing though, so not sure what it will do.

Lots of singles everywhere. don't give up hope my brothers from other mothers!

I'm off for a lie down. Shaking like the junky that i am!

Every minute or so, I open a new tab and paste the ticket office address and I move forward around a stage each time. At stage 14 at the moment.

Hello

Thank you for your email.


You would have been unable to log in at 6.30 this morning. The reason the system jumps is to let more supporters in to the system to buy tickets. We are unable to reserve you are ticket.

Tottenham Hotspur Ticket Office
