Seems a bit harsh to let people enter who have no chance of winning though? That was exactly my thinking after i'd entered last year. 25+ gets filtered out!

fatyeti24 Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 I'd be very surprised if they are putting age restrictions on competition prizes, given that: it's the BBC, funded by us Radio 1's actual audience contains huge amounts of over 25s it's illegal to discriminate on age without a very good reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bovla Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 The age thing is probably to filter out those who are too young. Don't know what the T&Cs are but probably have to be 16+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and don't say you're over 25 you're entry will be rejected!! That's not true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisque Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 I doubt the BBC would filter out people of a certain age after the last time they got in trouble with having competitions on their shows. I guess it just averages out that someone younger might win as older people will likely now be listening to Radio X, Absolute, 5Live & 6. Only us over a certain age on here will probably know about the competition due to being Glasto obsessives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshire Chris Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Havnt lied about my age since trying to buy booze in the 70s! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisque Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Not saying older people don’t listen to Radio 1. Sometimes we used to have it on in the car when Bluetooth was playing up as OH was ten years younger than me.
