I've got the same situation. RING RING... RING RING... The anticipation of talking to a live person is killing me.

It's also 2am for me and well past my bedtime

Currently in the queue. I am suposed to start work at half eight so I may have to be a bit late.

5 minutes of engaged tones, 25 minutes in the phone queue later and I'm all booked up!
Thank God.

Hope you guys who were behind me in the queue got in...they seemed to be having it a bit mad. Wonder why (I'll be over in the corner recovering from my heart infarction.)

Got em booked.

25 mins on hold, and apparently there was 31 in the queue behind me, which was 'a significant drop'.

Wouldn't it be nice if they had one of those voices that told you where you were in the queue every couple of minutes? and played some queue music at you. Some Boltthrower or something maybe?

Cool got mine booked now, troll said that their computers were playing up, the automated postcode/address thing wasn't getting the address properly :p

I was tempted to book 2, in case someone from here didn't get through, but i tihnk the less i put on my credit card while i am not working the better ;]

At last, all done. And exactly 15 minutes late for work. Impressive.

Got mine booked as well. Now for sweet slumber.

I look forward to meeting/playing against all of you.

Anyone want to hazard a guess as to when they sell out? I doubt it'll be after 9-30 at the latest if its that busy.

I'm just praying its the true fanatics like all the guys who post regularly on here who are getting the tickets, and not some little munchkin kiddies with badly painted orc teams. I doubt the munchkins would have the patience for the queue though. Can just imagine that somewhere in the queue there's some kiddie who wants a couple of packs of Space Marines...

The troll was saying that the queue was down to single figures at 08:45 when I got through. I wonder what ticket number I got.

Damn, forgot to order them while on the line. Back into the queue....

Well i would't wait on hold for 40 mins if i wasn't after something in limited supply

(like the digital camera i am trying to buy, can't find it anywhere in the uk without having to go on a waitin list for one)

I can't wait to be a named munchkin with a badly painted orc team.
