dentalplan Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I don't think it says anything in the T's & C's about more being allocated to Greater London. Although I don't think putting that I'm a resident of Greater London would harm my chances and will probably do that from now on. I said "should"....I don't think it happens currently, but it should TYPICAL LONDON ATTITUDE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero000 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Yeah. First draw was today (I said that) and it's already started... I've won tickets to see beck at itunes festival I'm crying who is he Why have I won Robert Plant iTunes festival tickets c**ts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) How did you know it was today, aha? I like knowing when they are, to avoid the depression of seeing some bellend winning tickets to Kasabian (and moaning about it), and then getting all excited, checking my emails and seeing a big, fat nothing... SO I could at least check before people start moaning (but fair play to people who win and enjoy the band- My mate won Kasabian tickets today and he likes them) I read the Terms and Conditions as I'm the same. Next one is two weeks today then after that it's a week before each event. There are usually draws by Metro and other partners along the way too. I imagine more acts will be announced in the next week or so too. Edited July 29, 2014 by dentalplan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I won tickets on August 22 last year (I remember that date because I passed my driving test too ) which wasn't a date in the T&C's. So yeah iTunes have their own random ones too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyquack Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I saw a girl on my Facebook today post, and I quote: "What the fuck?! I wanted 5SOS tickets - why have they given me tickets to some band called Beck?! Why do they think people want to see them when 5SOS are on a few nights later?! Stupid Apple."

the wonderwhy Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Was it not with Metro or XFM or anything? I know those all come at the end of August. Nope, I only applied through iTunes. I didn't realise anyone else did them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're the one that told me there were comps on Metro. In fact I'm absolutely certain you won through Metro, Here's hoping as I'm also planning on going into that standby queue - when Beck's in town, it'd be rude not to go up Edited July 29, 2014 by dentalplan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSilence Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I'm guessing the reason they ask for the county is so there's no chance that all of the tickets will end up going to people from the same area by some freak chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastCaring Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 It wouldn't surprise me if they allocate a percentage to London IPs unofficially That wouldn't surprise me either - more chance of people being bothered to attend if they get tickets to a band they don't know, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A13 Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) I won 7 times last year (Lumineers, Rizzle Kicks, Jake Bugg, Jack Johnson (x2), Tinie Tempah & Justin Timerlake) Once in 2012 for The Killers And twice in 2011 (White Lies & The Wombats) Out of those 9 times I've only once won directly from iTunes entries.

How did you win seven times when it's restricted to five wins per email? Also, shame you didn't win tickets for anything good Edited July 30, 2014 by MattDavies__ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
