On Olympic tickets

The Olympics are coming to London.
You may have heard.
Last month we completed our application for the ballot.
In June we find out what tickets we are getting for London 2012.
And this month, well, this month they take the money out. Despite us not knowing what we've got yet.

It is an odd system but apparently how other Olympics do it.
Though the thing that bugs me is that they keep on switching the day the money comes out.
Yes we are still within May but it had been suggested money would be withdrawn at the start of the month.
Delay it by a week or two until a date when you are sure you will be ready. Not this shifting timescale. I appreciate there are bigger things in life to fret about though as an Olympic consumer, I am a tad hacked off right now....
