Cliff, you slay me mate.
The above post ( what about it? ) just had to make me laugh...bet you did too !
In a nutshell folks: the Brix Tix lottery is a complete and utter disaster as far as organization, execution, and completion goes. For more indepth info regarding the Saga to end all Sagas, check out the huge 40+ page thread on Queen Online titled "Brixton Lotter: Anyone won yet?" in the Tour Section of the Message Forum.
Every fan should know about how this is being handled....and not handled!!
COngrats go out to the few winners though that have come forward. The Gods have indeed blessed you!

Perhaps us few on QOL have had our minds taken over into beleiving that this lottery is a complete & utter shambles, whereas the rest of the Queen World are as happy as Larry. Ha Ha LOL

The last thing I'm going to do is wade through a forty page thread on QOL (or indeed anywhere), plus I have to confess that I assumed it would be twenty pages of "has anyone heard yet" that then disappeared off at a tangent.
ANy chance of a summary?
I know some have "won" (well, just me to be honest), and I saw that a short timescale to use your "win" before losing it might create problems given the postal service, btu other than that...?

I haven't heard a thing as to whether I've won or not - I'm in the fan club and registered at QOL.
Do you think it's time for me to start making alternative plans for the Easter weekend?

You know Cliff, some people could say that it is the fan club's fault that the Brixton lottery was such a failure...
Neither the band nor the fan club promised any exclusive rights to any tickets, but since somebody was polite enough to make a special exception to the members of the private and unofficial fan club as an afterthought, they had to try and incorporate all those people with regular mail addresses in the draw as well.
You could say that the way it was planned, it was supposed to only include those people who had an e-mail account and could be reached within a matter of days. Therefore they could have easily had the time for those six rounds you think they were supposed to have to sell all the tickets, and there would have been no negative feedback. Except from you of course, who seem to complain about it constantly. (Or at least until you win. That is what it's all about, isn't it?)

Well, I dunno, but some people have suggested that (by mistake) being both a member of the fanclub as QOL counts a double entry and will therefore be found invalid by the computer and thus kicked out of the lottery!
(rediciolous, but all things round this lottery is rediciolous...)

I'm not the only one constantly complaining you know. Even if I win I shall continue with the "battle"! In fact if I win I might not even let on.

This can only happen when a FC member entered the lottery through the QOL link - that would be a double entry.

I didn't do anything.
I knew I was in the fan club and on QOL so I thought I was covered.

Who says the draw has been a failure?I won a ticket but don't expect to see the ticket until a couple of weeks before the concert.I go to many concerts and that is the normal procedure.This forum and the Queen-online forum represent only a tiny percentage of Queen fans.

D@vid, if you think this lottery has gone standard procedure (well...'has'... it is still not over -which says enough on itself-) you realy should read the 40-page thing on Queenonline!!
Convince yourself! Cause the way this is going is all BUT standard! And that has nothing to do with who has won and who hasn't. Neither with the ticket5s only arriving 3 weeks prior to the geg, cause that indeed is standatd procedure. But they make mistake after mistake in that procedure, organisation. I'm going to Brixton too, so I don't care in that matter, but this lottery is a disgrace!

When you go to the website you get to choose between standing or seated tickets! In case of standing tickets there is never going to be a 'bad' ticket, for they are all the same. Seated? Well... who-ever choses this option should not complain when he/she ends up in the back row! That's a risk with any seats for any show.
