Free train tickets with Virgin 10,000 first come!

Options
Just got an email from Virgin...
2007 marks Virgin Trains' 10th birthday, and to help us celebrate we are giving away 10,000 tickets* to be made any day (except Sundays) between 05 January and 30 March 07 inclusive! (Please note this excludes the half term school holiday between 10 February and 25 February 2007 inclusive).
You can apply for you (and one other passenger) to travel by simply filling in the form below, along with your preferred journey details in order of preference. Journeys are distributed subject to availability, therefore it is advisable not to choose peak times (such as Friday afternoons) when trains invariably get booked up very quickly.
You will hear back from us at least 10 days before your specified journey time. You will either receive a ticket to travel on one of your specified dates, or be notified by email if we cannot reserve you on any of your chosen journeys.
But hurry, our generous streak won't last forever, we are giving out tickets on a first come first served basis until stocks last...
Closing date for receiving entries:
Monday 18 December 2006 (or until stocks last)
* Two tickets equals one return journey.

    If you have been successful, we will post your tickets to you at least ten days before your date of travel. In the meantime, why not get some inspiration for your next Virgin Trains destination by visiting the City Guides section on our website?

  • Just read up on the details again on their website and it is definately first come first served. I guess they just can't count to 10,000 on the computer and will do it manually!!!!!!!! Hee hee

    More like they want as many people as they can possibly get to put on their spam email list.
    Time is an illusion - lunch time doubly so.
