TICKET COMPETITIONS THREAD - IT BEGINS

[dartmoordog]

Just looking at the EE competition page and at the top it mentions "Pay monthly benefits"

Does this mean that it's not open to PAYG customers? Can't see anything in the T&C's that mention it.

[Levitz]

So, I have an EE sim in my iPad and a monthly contract but it's data only not calls so, while I have an EE number it can't receive calls. So despite being an EE customer I can't enter!

Entered the EE one, can't say I've got high hopes as that will be a busy one

[brettredmayne]

With the Guardian one been a bit of a nightmare to enter, I wonder just how many people are in that draw.

Would have to be the really committed people

I have a feeling someone from on here is going to win it. Some really committed cats in this thread, I would have given up personally.

I haven't received an SMS text that isn't the guardian  or checkpage in ages (always use whatsapp or FB messenger), and today ive had 5 from people all false alarms. Ive panicked everytime!

So when do we think the Guardian winners will be contacted? 

I’ve been checking Twitter to see if anyone has mentioned it but can’t find anything which I guess is a good thing.

9. The winners will be selected by way of a random draw from all entries received in accordance with these terms and conditions. The draw will take place on or after 19 May 2019.

10. The winners will be notified by email or SMS on or after 20 May 2019 and given details of how to claim their prize. If a winner does not respond to GNM within 14 days of being notified of their win, the winner’s prize will be forfeited and GNM shall be entitled to select another winner in accordance with the process described above (and that winner will have to respond to notification of their win within 14 days or else they will also forfeit their prize). If a winner rejects their prize or the entry is invalid or in breach of these terms the winner’s prize will be forfeited and GNM shall be entitled to select another winner.

I had a missed called from an outer London number this morning and you can't call it back, hoping it was a scamming cold caller rather than the Guardian comp!

Woop! 

[mazola]

I'll be amazed if we don't get at least one Guardian winner from here.

Surely they haven't done the draw and told the winners but we don't know about it because it wasn't any of us.

oh no i hadn't thought of the possibility that nobody on efestivals won and we'd be kept in he dark! 

A quick search on twitter for "glasto won" "guardian glasto" "win glastonbury" etc. etc. has nothing coming up, so until i see somebody winning i'll have my fingers crossed

[al_coholic]

I keep getting calls from random numbers and I am answering them all because of these comps. Something that I would never normally do because they have all been spam so far

I'm due a phone upgrade, I've told O2 and carphone warehouse 'I can't speak now'  multiple times but they keep calling back on different numbers

[Padgey]

My mate had a call half an hour ago to say she had won Guardian tickets, she's getting an email sent to confirm where she has to name the second person.

Gutted. congratulations to your friend though!

[al_coholic]

Yep, I am a bit gutted as well. I really had my hopes set on Guardian. But congrats to your friend. 

[Levitz]

Congrats....*wonders how long it takes to contact 12 winners*

The data only sims can receive voice calls no problem - I tried it this morning as I have separate voice and data sims in my phone.  You can enter using the data sim number, just remember to stick in a phone on the 3rd June to see if you're lucky.

Oh! Well that’s that then  

Strange they called instead of texting. They don’t even have the number of people who registered via email.

[brettredmayne]

I have been checking my email non stop since this guardian thing was announced, think I can safely say I didn't get one

Well done to the winners though, some of you really went out the way to win this and deserve it
