Well I am now back in the queue, position 2934...... quite annoying when I had tickets in my sodding basket!

[Deleted]

I'm down to 1013 so dropped 600 in 30 minutes.

I have to clock on work at 9.30 so can't see it happening for me.

Got my basket back. Tickets still there. Clicked on checkout and it is hanging again. Twitter feed says they are working on the problems and will update as soon as they can.

Why do I feel so stressed? It is only a few theatre tickets!

If you are a member, are there only a limited number of seats they put on sale today?

It's starting to feel like I am gonna give up right now for my sanity but log on again a bit later.

if memory serves me correct, they don't put all on sale but it's a very generous amount (probably 80% of the auditorium).

[mrbarnaby]

Thankyou.

I was hoping life was going to get a little less stressful becoming a member to get in earlier to book. So wrong.

The queue is paused now and there's a message saying they are having trouble with ticketing systems. If it carries on much longer I can see them doing what they have done before and just sacking off today, then starting Priority booking from a later date.

Site back up. Original choice of tickets still in basket, managed to pay with, literally, seconds to spare before I was timed-out.

Now I must make that appointment for a heart check...

That's really annoying though when you have cleared your morning just to book

Oh it is! I wasn't justifying it

I am sorry you are all having problems booking

However the number of priority members is high

If you attend the NT frequently

It is worth considering the highest levels of membership

If you see more than 10 shows there

A £600 membership

More than pays for itself

If you get 2x £15 tickets for all the shows

As opppsed to having to fork out £60+

In addition there is never any online queue

Which means you save time/ money

And don't have these nasty panics

[mrbarnaby]

Thanks Parsley.
Would you also say it's preferable to wear cashmere at all times , for the feeling against your skin is more comfortable than cotton?

[charliec]

I'm booked now, was through the queue when it crashed and got to the MyNT page, kept refreshing and eventually, slowly got through the dates etc and booked and paid for tickets.

[Deleted]

They have tweeted that the issues are now resolved and up and running again, BUT the queue is still paused

[Deleted]

Scrap that! going again now.....Oh well now just about 5 hours to wait to make my way to the front

Similarly, I suppose one would recommend suckling pig over sausages and filet mignon over beefburgers, as the flavour is just that much tastier?

[Deleted]

I don't think it is appropriate to suckle a pig.....

[mrbarnaby]

For what it's worth -

Scrambled egg is much better WITH

Caviar

Than

With-

-out

Your welcome.

I am still stuck at 2528 on my Mac... tried to login on my iPad and got straight in and managed to book everything while the queue on my Mac was still paused - so if you have a suitable mobile device that's worth a try

Depends how posh a school you go to really eh Mr Cameron?

[kwbobby88]

So glad I got up at 3:45 am here in Florida. Only 2843 still ahead of me!

[blobble84]

Tickets finally sorted - but that was stressful. They were in my basket at 08.31 and I've only just checked out!

[dazzerlump]

It's moving quicker now Ive moved forward 800 places in the last 15 minutes
