If you would like to go to the open day please put your username, number of tickets you may be after, and time you can be there note that I think you have to enter with your offeror so you may need to be flexible. If someone has a spare place on their ticket they can contact you by PM and go from there.
Please do not pester anyone on the thread who has said they would be going - they may not have any spare spots anyway or not want to take anyone.
Please stick to the format: USERNAME - 1000-1300 - X PLACES
If you can be there at any time on Saturday just put ALL DAY instead of a time range.

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).

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 ^
