Brilliant!!!! Good to see a loud mouth who shouted the odds get a bit of karma

[Who2002uk]

Just incase anyone is unsure what has happened since Terry 'got' his ticket:

The album cover he submitted was stolen from someone else, and EE are aware of this.

Hilarious.

This is complete madness. Enjoyed reading about this though, the lengths people will go to get a ticket to Glastonbury is truly amazing.

[Mr.Tease]

Ha! I was never bothered about him getting a ticket, but i do find it a funny ending to the whole saga...

[Ed209]

Yeah, Terry can go fuck himself

[russycarps]

Ha I was happy for him despite his clearly loathsome personality.

Seems everyones instincts about him were spot on. seems you can in fact judge a book by it's cover

[benc]

quite amusing really! throw the book at him!... or just take his tickets off him

[Ed209]

Well, fairly sure he has a legal case to answer as well. Fraud, copyright infringement. Could get messy for him

[slamdunkdafunk]

I hope that when terry gets out of bed this morning he stands on a 3 pin plug and/or a piece of lego

Ha this thread has passed me by, but amused me catching up and seeing the ludicrousness of his uproar, to the fact he had stolen someone else's work anyway.

Unlucky Terry!

[euler]

I hope that Terry accidentally throws away his tickets in the recycling or something.

[Mud Dweller]

His name's Terry

He's a scouser

He stole his entry pic

He protested far and wide how he had been victimised

all he needs now is for a pic to appear showing him looking like this! Stereotype 100% completed.

[ads1980]

^{Well it is funny how this has all come back round again. I felt sorry for him from the start although I didnt see the full the story at the time. But to steal someones art work and then moan about not getting tickets....}

[formed a band]

What the lad has done is terrible, the Harry Enfield thing is funny but the victim comment is a step to far

[rexclark]

What an utter w*nk. Glad he's been found out.

[Evilredzebra]

Hilarious. I'm all for getting one over the big corporates but only when it's actually fair and Terry's claims were just ridiculous as he clearly hadn't won in the first place.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the EE morning meeting!

So the only outcome will be that four nice deserving people and their guests will get to go to Glasto through his tantrum and the lying little twat won't be there!

Yes, glasto tickets for the 4 who humbly and graciously accepted an unexpected 400 quid.

Imagine how different the world could have been

Seems like O2 quickly jumped on the conveniently passing marketing opportunity again but EE are still thinking about what to do I bet there are more than a few unhappy peeps today !

Excerpts from HERE

EE is consulting its legal team as to whether it should honour a competition prize to an individual who started a social media campaign against the company when a terms and conditions blunder meant he was not given the Glastonbury Festival tickets he was informed he had won as it has since emerged he may have copied his “winning” entry from an artist.

Twitter user @Terry_Finnegan started the #GiveTerryHisGlastoTickets hashtag campaign last week, which amassed hundreds of tweets demanding he was given a pair of tickets to the festival after he believed he had fairly won an EE competition.

It has now emerged that artist and designer Aaron Savage originally created a Calvin Harris Lego album cover two years ago, which looks very similar to the image Finnegan used to enter the competition.

An EE spokeswoman told Marketing Week: “This has been brought to our attention, as the original criteria for the competition stated that all entries had to be original. We are in touch with both artist Aaron Savage and Terry Finnegan so we can get to the bottom of this.”

An O2 spokesman told Marketing Week: “We’re aware that it looks very much like Terry Finnegan stole his EE Glastonbury competition entry from Aaron Savage and, this morning, have tweeted Aaron to offer him a year’s supply of O2 Academy tickets in recognition of his artwork. Terry’s story grabbed the nation’s attention, including celebrities such as Lennox Lewis, and it appears like we were all taken in by a very convincing plight.”

O2’s offer still stands, but it is unknown whether EE will withdraw the tickets from Finnegan.

Finnegan could not be reached for comment.

Obviously lying and cheating are heinous enough crimes in the first place, but surely the true mark of this man is the fact that he could have chosen some true classic albums (Clash, RATM, Velvet Underground etc) to plagiarise, yet he chose Calvin Harris???

Well - if the Ts and Cs of the competition (which Terry seemed very keen on quoting) stated that the entry had to be original work, then EE are quite within their rights to tell the little scrote to sod off.

Hilarious. Where's that guy who isn't Terry who signed up just to defend Terry now, when Terry needs defending the most?
