Hallam Fm £1000...

Had a call from Hallam FM at 1.20 and he told me I had entered a competition to win my works christmas party. I told him I worked in London and he said they were based in Sheffield! I asked if that was okay and I wouldnt have a problem getting to Sheffield, considering it was for a £1000 vouchers!

He asked me if I still wanted to play and I said Yes! So he said he would call me back in 5 minutes.... No phone call since :(..Nearly half hour ago :(

    Did you get called back hun? That's appalling. If it doesn't state that it is for sheffield only then they should no way discriminate against you for being in london. x
  • Hope you got the call back!

    Were you told implicitly that you were going to be on the air if you got called back, or was it just a call to say you might go on air.

    I had a call once which said i "might go on air" if the first three people on their list didn't answer the call. Perhaps this was the situation you were in as well.

  • Thanks for your replies. I was told I would be on air and I would be playing. He didn't say it was problem that I was in London he just said that we can say i travel to sheffield on work purposes.

    I never got a call back. I don't normally enter comps that are far away but if its for a high amount then its worth it! Should i complain?

    Someone called Elaine won it, I'm sure it was for a specific venue in sheffield that the vouchers had to be spent for your workmates party, although I was half listening whilst the kids were acting up in the car.

    Been called by Hallam a few times to play on air comps and its just the way that they do it, sometimes they call sometimes they don't.

    Hope you get lucky with something else soon. x
    :j It doesn't get any better than this :j

    If it was this one it doesn't say anything about a restriction on location. How many workmates did you nominate? if you went the full 10 that's only £90 each, if you all have to collect personally it's hardly worth travelling to sheffield just to spend in a shopping centre there.

    For your chance to win simply nominate you and your workmates below.
    Ollie will be calling back lucky nominees to take part in a live on air competition and the winner at the end of the week will win *£1000 to spend on a makeover for them and their workmates

    *The £1000 prize is in the form of Meadowhall Gift Cards and will be split between the winner and the nominated workmates. There is no cash alternative available.

    You have not thanked the win a works lunch for up to 30 which was also in sheffield but does not mention a prize value.
  • I don't think it was for make over but I guess I could be wrong. On the phone he said to me it was for £1000 in shopping vouchers.

    Thanks x
