TICKET COMPETITIONS THREAD - IT BEGINS

[Joshuwarr]

Friend messaged to say their work colleague text in to the radio 1 competition on a whim and within a minute had the call to say they'd won. How surreal!

Tesco in Newbury has still got 4packs and 12 packs of Malletts left if anyone wants to get in a last minute entry

I emailed Mallets Cider today to confirm closing time for the competition. For some reason I thought it was 1800 tonight,  it is actually 23.59, so still time to find a big Tesco and get some more. 

Just drove to Tesco for some... 

[alibear]

FIVE PAIRS OF TICKETS! 

 

[ciderlass]

When does the Mallets competition get drawn? 

[Windupradio]

I think that it said within 5days of closing

If you set yourself to going it should come up! A bit backwards I know!

It's just appeared on my feed, I think I've answered it wrong tho! The cure played in 1986 and 1999, which did they headline?

They didn't play in 1999. They headlined 86, 90 and 95.

The Social announce their winner tomorrow.

Did anyone else on here apart from me, enter?

[Ozanne]

I don’t think that one was mentioned on here much, so could be just you!

Yes, this was the one for DJs. So pretty niche. 

[Madyaker]

Was gonna mention the comp on the EE glasto app. It seems anyone can download the app and enter. When your setting it up and it asks you if you are watching on telly or attending make sure you choose attending

[al_coholic]

So looks like just the 2 competitions left. Mallets and EE app. 10 pairs to be won. It's getting a bit desperate now. Hopefully someone on here will win.

Still haven’t seen the local paper competitions, I’m sure there’s usually more comps by this time?

Yeah really surprised nothing from Somersetlive. I had them on twitter but omg there's only so much crap I can put up with. 

[a6l6e6x]

Really need BBC to do some mega competition with 100 pairs to give away. Still wouldn't win mind..

[Ozanne]

EE have given away more this year, through various other vendors. So maybe they get them nowadays!?

I recorded a mix but didn't enter it in the end as I managed to get in with Oxfam, and didn't want to fork out £20.

Good luck with yours!
