3 tickets purchased!
Ticket purchased but no email confirmatio. I have received an email from Link.com asking me to confirm my email address but this looks like a scam. It does not mention Greatest Gathering and searching link.com suggest they are gathering email addresses
Update
Tickets now arrived so Link.com was a coincidence

I've been advised that Mortons are in the process of handing over data to the new provider which will mean that those of us who paid up and received nothing should eventually also get our tickets...

Well I can't get tickets at the moment and probably won't until sometime next month, they shouldn't be sold out by then??

Got tickets, didn't even see a loading screen very easy. Bet they wish they had gone with them to start with!
Next thing on my mind, how will we get 10,000 rail enthusiasts to Derby, most of whom will want to travel by rail! Is there anything out there about any extra services etc. being put on. It would very much encapsulate the modern railway to not provide extra capacity and have people unable to get to the event!

Its hard to tell, I think the popularity has shocked some quarters at least!

Branch Line Society appear to have added a 'save the date' for what looks to be charters for the event.

I've decided to wait for Polmadie instead - a 2-car unit from Crewe for well over an hour each way just doesn't appeal.

Quick and painless for me as well.
One thing... when you've selected tickets, keep an eye on the countdown timer on the left hand side of the web page while you're filling in your details - it appears it only holds the tickets for nine minutes pending you filling everything in.

That's good - hopefully I see mine soon! I've had to file a dispute with PayPal this morning as Mortons haven't refunded my duplicate transaction despite emailing them about it all on Friday morning. Not even a cursory response, total radio silence.

That was how online purchasing ought to be. Mortons might like to take some lessons.

A heads up - surprisingly there's a lot of hotel rooms still available in Derby at reasonable prices for the event dates...
Without being an expert on the travel patterns of cricket fans, Derby County Ground has a capacity of 9,500 so I'd be surprised if this amount would be insurmountable.

I suspect only for the first couple of hours hours! There seems to have been a form of desperation by some people to buy their tickets within minutes of them going on sale, I can only assume they thought that they would sell out if they didn't buy them immediately they went on sale?
Personally, I'm waiting to see more details including more information on the railtours planned around the event...

Was planning on heading up on the Friday morning, getting there around 12 and coming home around 7 (4 Hour journey), if Hotels are cheap or rail tours work well might do that instead!
My ticket has arrived, so check your inboxes if you paid Mortons...

Yes arrived 20 mins ago.
Same, mine has just come through and I ordered mine through Morton’s.
Although, I thought it was an advertising email by SEE Tickets, and initially ‘binned’ it.
Like you I purchased a family ticket from Mortons. An hour ago See Tickets sent me 2 adult tickets, but so far there's no sign of the 2 child tickets I am owed. Perhaps you and me should meet up on the day!
I'm thinking of waiting a few days to see if See Tickets send me the 2 child tickets.
It's a typo for Mortons
