It wouldn't surprise me if the registration simply hasn't gone live yet, and is waiting for the announcement email to go out.

Oh no! No invite for me it seems- hopefully we are still waiting for the invite to go live!

+ 1

I do not remember using my BA Exec number as part of the registration process last time.

Worth noting that the site and the registration check are not served over SSL (i.e. secure), so any nefarious people will be able to harvest the details entered in to the form.

The site says:

"The event is by invitation only and invites are non-transferable." :(

I fear that Blues like me will not be at the top of the list for invitations, in which case I hope that someone may be able to guest me in (three guests allowed).

Yes, it was working for me about fifteen minutes ago but is not working now.

It seems it is still a work in progress.

They are now changing the site after having realised that one should be able to register with a FT handle. :D

Yes, same here. Tried this morning and full site but still wouldn't let me register. Now the site content has gone and it just says in light grey

Has anyone actually received an invitation though?

BoeBus Apr 30, 2015 3:27 am

Must've been taken down in response to my pointing out that it's insecure :D

After the Avios 'breach' you'd think they'd be more on top of this.

francismc Apr 30, 2015 3:35 am

No email received; but would be nice to attend (and book my flight down)

LondonAndy Apr 30, 2015 3:36 am

I e-mailed them (so maybe it's my fault they took it down) and they said:

Unfortunately you were provided the link to this website slightly prematurely, which is why your BA executive club number would not have been recognised. The invites to our executive club members have not yet been sent or added onto this system, although we expect the invitations to start going out in the next 48 hours.

We apologise for the inconvenience at this stage. Unfortunately we are unable confirm which executive club members will be invited at this point, but will be able to do so once the invites are issued.

We hope that you will be one of those to receive an invitation shortly, and be able to join us for this special event.


So there is still hope for us all...... good luck ^

Thanks for that, seems so bloody long winded and overcomplicated compared to 2011!!

I am impressed you got a speedy and non-canned response from BA.
