Eventually got confirmation of entry, after rejections for the last 3 years its depressing to think I'll probably need to go through this twice more before getting a place!
This is doing my head in now. Got to the Real Buzz part then it crashed. Had to start again and its getting to the address part for the 5 times rejection and not going through.
Seems to be down again - I got my entry in at about 8am (129810) but still need to do my husband and father, don't think it will be happening any time soon.
Hooray. Finally entered me and my mate into the ballot. Now just sit back and wait until October!!!! I wish. Got to get through Edinburgh marathon first, then can sit back and relax!
FF - nice one - and thanks for the tip!! After trying repeatedly for the past hour, got through and registered (+ email) for the ballot first time with that address !!
Managed to get in at 11pm last night courtesy of the link above. Have just given the same link to a friend at work and they seem to be motoring through it.
I am finally in. 5 Rejections in a row so I just need the official confirmation now. Disappointed there isn't a discounted student rate this time. Have used that the previous 5 years.
anyone from yesterday still not got their confirmation yet? I've received my worldpay receipt which has my number on it and had a couple of emails from charities so I assume it's confirmed.

Did mine at 7am this morning, confirmation e-mail received not long after.
It hurt my eyes looking at my laptop whilst still in bed, I think my OH now knows I'm crazy, rather than just suspecting.
So, assuming my previous addresses all match up, i'm guaranteed entry to 2010 )
Training started yesterday, I did 5km!

Not having much joy - keeps crashing after a couple of pages.

use firefox then you can refresh the page if it crashes without re-entering the information (F5) - it worked for me last night at 8:30pm ish.
Good luck.
Another successful applicant here, but using
http://www.virginlondonmarathon.com/ballot/uk
rather than the https (secure link) whick is still showing as not available
Good luck all.....

I got in just before 9am using the http: site. Not as secure as https: so I'm hoping no one has hacked my details!
My number is 130000 something which I think means around 30,000 have registered. Still lots of places yet - don't panic
I'm stupidly over-excited, have to remember it's just the ballot and I probably won't get a place in October
HUZZAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
133883 - After 25 hours, managed to get through!
Personally I think it's a test, if you can get through that you can get through the marathon.
