Olympic Ticket-royal mail redirect didn't work

A question about : Olympic Ticket-royal mail redirect didn't work

I received an email and text yesterday to say that royal mail were unable to deliver my olympics tickets. Both messages said a card would be left by royal mail.
Went home, there was no card.
Called royal mail this morning. Royal mail delivered to my old address even though I set up a redirect.
If there was somebody home at the old address they would have my ticket.
As it happens, customer services were quick to organise redelivery to new address but are royal mail checking for id when they deliver tickets? I guess not!

Best answers:

• Almost exactly the same has happened to me.
  Where our stories differ, is that someone was at my old home and signed for the tickets.
  Now i have stolen tickets. JOY
• have they been posted??
• They're being posted over a period of a month (depending on when your event is)
• Royal Mail redirect does not work with all post. For example items from the DVLA are not redirected, this is to try and ensure they hold the correct address or find out they dont when the post is returned 'no longer at this address'. It applies to other items as well.
• I am a fan of stamps. Especially free stamps.
