    I feel so sad for you, hope that you get things sorted and at least offered another prize which would be good for the kids.
  • got this in reply to my email -

    Hi Melanie Thanks for your email. I am very sorry that this has happened, and unfortunately the emails were sent out in error and should have only been sent to 2 people - instead they were sent to 10 people. I can only apologise for this, and can assure you this will not happen again. As an apology - if you would like to either send me details of an attraction you would like to visit I will arrange for a complimentary ticket to be sent to you or book tickets for holiday on ice, and I will reimburse you the cost of the tickets. Let me know what you would like and I will help you out. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards Daniel

    so replyed with this and hope its the end of it.

    Daniel ,

    I except your apology but do feel you should have explained things better in your first email. I'm disappointed but my children will be even more so when they get home so to make it up to them i would like tickets to lazy town live in oxford. i see you are running competitions for them.This should work out to the same value of my win.There are three dates but any will be fine. I will continue to enter your competitions and hope my name does not have a big black cross next to it now (joke)

    Thank you for resolving this in a professional manner.

    Melanie

    thanks for all your replys and help fellow compers, your brill xxxxxx

    You could mention that you are an mse member too and that you often chat on the forums.
    I think it is very bad form all round to say you have wn and then not even come up with a sensible reason as to why you now can't have tickets for the show.
    Maybe we should all boycott their site that might help!
    If at first you don't succeed try, try, try again.
