    How annoying, what day did they send them out?
    That would have been 4 empty seats, they could have phoned and you picked them up on night.
    Have a good moan at them.

    It was franked on 2 July so must have been delayed in the post so I guess it's not their fault.... disappointing though... got excited when I saw the tickets until I read the date of the screening....

    I'm in agreement with everyone else, give them a call and let them know they didn't arrive on time.

    It obviously wasn't their fault, but a phone call to say you'd won would have been helpful because you would have known to look out for them.
