davem Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 How far is it again, is it harder than the Argus? Hehe, and then some!
Bubblez Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Ur then really gonna miss out , it's on the 6th Well spotted......
gripen Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 That’s kind of what I was saying. They’ve hiked the effective price up, but the demand has somehow still risen. The Kool Aid must be tasty. While I agree 100% with this, somehow the demand has been accelerated so I have entered now. Was planning on December sometime but not prepared to risk missing out. Bit of a bugger to find affordable flights, good like to those who will leave that part to the last minute (our usual plan). Seems things are selling out WAY quicker than usual. I wonder how they extra 500 entries that they will release in a few weeks time will get there....
averagejoe Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Just entered, wife almost killed me when she heard that the entries had "sold out" yesterday after spending a lot on a TT bike.
Bubblez Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Well, we're either all suckers and have fallen for the hype.... Or we are going to be among the chosen few to actually have gotten an entry..... Time will tell.In related news, Ironman really kills the cashflow
sluiper Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Full. Crazy, crazy. Registered yesterday and kind of didn't believe it would fill up so quickly. So glad I did.
Bullet Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I'm in but where do you guys see how many entries are left or that it is full? on the website?
sluiper Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Yes, when you try to enter it tells you there's a waiting list available. There are already about 120 people on the waiting list.
Bullet Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Entered last night at 22:55. So was probably ons of the last ones to get a spot
sluiper Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Entered last night at 22:55. So was probably ons of the last ones to get a spot Probably. I entered yesterday, wanted to pay this morning and couldn't log in to pay because it was full. Had to phone them and they processed my payment manually.
Garfield2010 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Posted October 23, 2013 Yes, when you try to enter it tells you there's a waiting list available. There are already about 120 people on the waiting list. I am not sure I understand this............. There is a waiting list..... Why??????????? IM has no substitute policy and NO REFUNDS so why is there a waiting list? If I cant race anymore for whatever reason what incentive is there for me to tell them that? Why? So that they can take another R4,250 off another athlete to take my place?? Also I really hope this "non-sub" rule of theirs don't force sick or undertrained athletes to take part in April due to the price tag and cause harm to themselves.
bigjoe Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Decided last night to enter....and it is full! 1000 entries in 5 days. thats crazy! Guess i am not doing Full

If there is a no substitution policy what is the point of a waiting list? Only reason I can think of is that they are thinking of 'adding' some more entries...If the 'waiting list' reaches lets say 500 they say hey, more entries available at the bargain price of R5k!!!
travisza Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 My conspiracy theory is that it isn't really full and all part of marketing. "Additional" entries released later
Garfield2010 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Posted October 23, 2013 My conspiracy theory is that it isn't really full and all part of marketing. "Additional" entries released later Yep cuz then everyone will jump in without thinking twice....... My bet is the "extra" entries opens this weekend!
