Muddlin_thru Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 Are any of you budding photographers? Bit random but I saw a post on reddit which claimed to be from a band/artist willing to offer a free ticket if someone was willing to take photos of their performances. I mean I assume it could be a scam…they ask for a deposit to secure your ticket and make sure you don’t drop out, but might be worth asking for more info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillieBobs Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 Sorry team! I’ve been off on my drunken weekend adventures again so haven’t been online 🙈 Does anyone need brothers codes? I can pop out tomorrow to grab a few cans. Also there’s a Co-op in Porthcawl so I can have a look for the tea in there tomorrow before I head back to Barry if anyone needs it 🍀🤞 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one's even asking for money The poster might ask for a deposit as guarantee that you’ll do the work and not just take the ticket and run, like when you volunteer. Still might be legit, just wanted to raise the possibility that it might not be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, My best mate who is a photographer has an unavoidable family engagement and time is ticking, and I've exhausted my immediate circle. This is a legitimate you scratch my back I'll scratch yours so a ticket doesn't go to waste. But yes look out for scams, don't send me any money, and for the love god don't doxx yourself unless you really want to help. The successful applicant will be subject to a zoom meeting and a contract of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how much more cider we can get through 💪😂. Don't make any special trips though! We have a few ciders to try, tea comp, Greenpeace comp and any others that haven't been drawn yet🤞.

Back to the desperate ticket search Oh, that's not the news we were all hoping for. I don't know how many entries there were, but you did get in the top 10. That's an achievement. You (like everyone on here) get 10 out of 10 for determination as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
