It’s a no for us! Just glad to know either way - would be climbing the walls if I had to wait until 3rd Dec. And may go travel partner route now. Good luck to everyone still waiting 😊
I didn't get in. Anyone been with a travel partner before? Looks like 2:09 events, running crazy and Swinley travel are the official UK partners on the Berlin site. Although sports tours international seem to also be selling trips. Any advice appreciated.

Have heard good things about 2:09 events in particular, and having a look at their pricing for different hotels it doesn't seem like an unreasonable option, particularly as you have guaranteed entry.

@Momo21 how did you decide between 2:09 events and crazy running? I'm trying to weigh up the differences between the two. Crazy running don't name their hotel,but it is just 800 yards from the hotel. They also give you a lift from the airport. But otherwise not sure how to call it between them. Looking at a two night deal for two people.
@Justin Haines 2:09 events are local to us and we’ve taken part in the half marathon they organise which was very good. Other local runners have also recommended them. I didn’t look at Running Crazy so don’t know how they compare, but I don’t think I’d like not knowing which hotel it was before booking. I looked are Sports Tour International and although they had some cheaper hotels the reviews for the hotels weren’t great and location wasn’t as good. We’ve visited Berlin before and know it’s super easy to get from the airport to the centre for about €3 so airport transfer didn't seem essential.
Hello! Has anyone that has been successful in the ballot been charged yet? I still haven't seen any money being taken from my account so getting quite worried!
Reece, I haven't been charged yet and I'm also getting worried. It's a credit card I've used before when paying for stuff in Euros, so I'm hoping there's no problem!

I read a similar thread on here from 2016 with people saying they weren't charged till nearly a week after the ballot and I've seen my name on the participant list on the website so that's eased the worry a little! I've messaged them to make sure my payment details are correct so I guess that's all I can do!
Nothing taken from my account either. However, the fact that everyone seems to be in the same position and my name on the participants list has allayed the slight concern. It does say that payment will be taken from 3rd onwards.
Hey everyone. Newbie here. I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about the charity tickets that are supposedly released on the 5th?
Has anyone gone for these before?
Hi Sacha, I'll be going for one of these, there are 1000 released apparently and I think they sell at about €190, first come first served basis though so I imagine they're quite hard to grab!!

Same here, glad bobdidmadrid mentioned the participants list as I was also getting worried. My problem is I can’t remember which credit card I used 😁
I have not been charged yet but got a new CC delivered last
month as the old CC expired, wonder what will happen when they make an attempt
to make a charge using the old expired card!!
