Newbury Racecourse - Meet Boyzone comp

My manager has given me me tickets to Boyzone tomorrow night (so not strictly a win for me, but I did get her hooked on comps) and she dropped them round to me earlier.

The tickets are from the racecourse, and she has a zero invoice from the racecourse, so I'm guessing it's the racecourse comp she's won?

So does that mean I get to meet them? I'm sure that was part of the prize. I didn't get to ask her as she was on a days hol today and so just dropped them off at reception for me whilst passing. But as far as I remember, the only Newbury Racecourse comp included meeting the band.

Any ideas folks?

    Possibly, if it is I am totally green. It was the only comp I was so desperate to win, I wouldn't even say it for fear of jinxing it only about I comp I really, really wanted to win.

    But yes part of the prize was to meet the lads - wow!

    Have a fantastic time and let me know how it goes!

    no it's just two, I might text her in the morning and quiz her about it! And I might try and blag it to meet them anyway!

    No, we couldn't afford it, by the time we added it all up it was over £100, which was too much for us in view of the current "credit crunch"!

    my ticket I paid for was only £14 through work, so not too bad. Funnily enough, hubby won't come, but I'm taking a mate, and I live right by the racecourse so in theory it won't be an expensive day. Although my willpower fails me after a few drinks!

    Good luck, I hope you get to meet them! I've been a fan since day one, now I am married with two small kids and nothing has changed!! LOL! The comp I knew of was for four VIP entry tickets and to meet them prior and have your photo taken etc.,
