Just for future reference I tried to log in at 8.50 and it said 'event hasn't started yet' (how big must we be that selling tickets is an event?!). At 9am it logged me in automatically at 80 in the queue. It took until about 9.10 before the option for Chelsea actually appeared after a lot of swearing and F5 though!
count yourself lucky. i logged in before 8, waited and then at 9am was told i was 2000+ in the queue. still waiting
