New comper - first WEM! Itunes Live Tickets (up for grabs)

I've been entering competitions since last week and I've just had an email from Itunes saying I've won 2 tickets to see The Little Ones - Peggy Sue - Ava Leigh // iTunes Live: London Festival '08 :D

Unfortunately it's tomorrow night (7:30pm, at Koko in Camden) and I live in Scotland so can't make it! They're e-tickets so I can forward them to someone, it has my name on them but it doesn't say anything about needing proof of ID, it just has two barcodes on which I presume they scan. It says non-transferable but I'm sure I've read about people offering tickets before on these boards so if you live nearby it's worth a try!

PM me if you're interested :)

HUGE thanks to the OP, hopefully it's the start of many more! xxx

    Well done..... However, do wonder why people enter competitions such as this one where they know they aren't going to be able to go if they win and there is little value in the tickets so can't exactly sell them on or anything. Could be stopping a genuine fan who wants to go from winning.

    I find entering comps addictive, i've done it on and off for years, but only more regulary since I found this forum, and am now much more selective about what I enter, if I know I can't go, or wouldn't want the prize, then I just leave it to those who would appreciate it much more than me!

    I totally agree - the reason I've been entering the ones I couldn't possibly attend is in the hope that if I do win, I can pass them on to someone on here. I'm not very good at finding competitions that haven't already been posted here, so I suppose this is my way of giving something back, if that makes any sense? xxx

    I just think its best not entering them and leaving them for people who actually want to go, whilst you are giving something back to people on here by offering them to others, you've also reduced their chances of winning them in the first place.

    Ah well, maybe its just me.

    Hope it will be the first win of many and that you go onto win some more useful things in the future
