Ticket Competitions

[Dr Glasto]

Has anyone called them out on it? 

[emilyboris]

I see @Michaelgball had the square too. 

Makes you think about how many people are entering this competition, that all of the prizes have been given to either new accounts or largely inactive ones.

Nah I was wrong, for some reason twitter on Chrome is displaying times in GMT-8. No idea why. 

Aaah fair enough.

[emilyboris]

Definitely seems like they were telling absolute porkies when they told me it was random. (H17 being the park stage)

Hasn't tweeted since 2014(apart from these entries), but don't want to get into the twitter account debate again. Frustrating though. I'm also losing hope and feeling sorry for myself haha

They really were! 

[Michaelgball]

He actually entered at 2pm, legit win so i dont mind. Bit frustrated that I picked the same H17 for the second day runnning but oh well, there is always tomorrow!

[august1]

Yep-I was incensed originally, then went on my phone to tweet at them instead and saw the correct timestamp. Had already made the comment on here but edited it ASAP haha

[emilyboris]

I'm actually really annoyed that they lied-I know the likelihood of me winning was slim at best regardless of entries, but my guesses would be entirely different otherwise, and would have significantly shortened the odds. 

Safe to say a number of stern emails will be sent. To John, the agent who replied, I say

 

[Katir]

My dad had H17!

[Lucy92]

I'm really confused by their tweet now!!! Does that mean three in a row will get you something? So much confusion 

[Drfoxxx]

My two mates had h17 as well 

[rachelhop]

does it look like they are going for stages?

[Fingerbobs]

well done to the chap. He's a Glasto fan by the looks of things and had been picking the park throughout the comp not just this time.

I reckon the festival should rebrand all the stages to their co-ords now. 'I'm off to K11 to see .... actually there's nothing good on so I'm heading off to I4'.

I've no idea, but you should definitely keep tweeting them. Perhaps explain in very very clear terms-I'm not sure they're great at inferring what people mean, they seemed to think you guys were proposing a hypothetical, rather than asking about what had already happened. That second tweet did make it sound like if you got 3 in a row they'd at least address it! 

[emilyboris]

Entries are going to be even more concentrated now though-already seen today that a lot of people here got the correct square for obvious reasons, but the total # of people choosing those squares are obviously going up too!

God I really hope it means something!!!!! I'd cry with happiness haha

I hope for you too! I don't know if it does, but if you don't ask you'll never know. 
 

Anyway, I'm off for my final exam of my student life ever-as always, hope I return to some good news from at least one person!

did you message EE? x

[keb77]

gutted I also chose H17

[AnniMB]

I'm thinking of getting the cheapest phone I can buy with an EE sim!  Resisted so far but the odds are reducing.  Did anyone post the latest competition for the South West papers, or is it still the same picture?

I like that idea.  Tho it could get confusing after a few Thatchers lol.
