RWC 2019 ticket ballot

@gt12 I haven't got anything specific, but did get invited to a "losers'" ballot.
That said I missed out previously (although have tickets to one semi), so would thereby qualify, but can't log in as ticketing site has 10,000 in the queue!!Expecting the worst!

None this time. The queue was merely to tell me I'd failed -- a simple e-mail would have sufficed!
The vaunted lucky losers' ballot can't be accessed until 15 Jan. Talk about much ado about nothing!!
And - it's not a ballot... rather a short-lived (2 day) window of first-come/first-serve for those who had bothered to apply but missed out.
I assume I can trust the Fern to remind me of this closer to the time? -

Logged in to losers' ballot a few hours before kick off.
Come the time page opened and I was number 26,388.
Not holding my breath!!!
Dammit forgot about it.Does being 26388 make you the biggest loser, loser of all losers or the least loser in the ballot

No tickets available for the final (well, premium tickets at 2500 a piece available), but I got two for the AB/SA game, and two for the Japan/Scotland game. So, the gt12s will be at four games, including both semis.
Now, we'll see who we can bribe to try to get some tickets for the final....

I logged on to find myself at 104,000
5 hours later - I've got to 84,000... and I think the system's going down in about 5 minutes.Who the fuck scheduled "planned maintenance" on the system right in the middle of this?
I guess it gives everybody another shot to "get in at the start of the queue" - in about 4.5 hours time.
Edit - Fuck... the queue isn't going to reset, it's just paused... I'm going to rejoin the queue still at 83,418.
And - hope that when I get to #1, it's during waking hours, and I realise within my 30 minute window. -
I'm fucked haha way back at 129,000 oh well looks like I'll be settling for Sunwolves games in 2020 hahaha.

You poor bastards, they must have set it up so that Japanese customers went straight through - I had no line.
Just chose the games, chose the tickets, and paid!
Not sure why I wrote this post.
To gloat of course!!

I finally reached the front of the queue - at 4:15 in the morning, and slept through my 30 minute window.
Rejoined the queue again this morning - and it's moving remarkably quickly... but all decent games are sold out. I'm now struggling to decide on any tickets I want.

And now that I think about - far too late - why didn't I consider this, and try a VPN using a Japanese proxy?
Could have put your gloating to good use. -

After the restart I got the other semi for a fairly dear price, but, as you said, the finals were ridiculous, with only the top price available.
