    I didnt even get an email, maybe that means I got them!!! I wont get too carried away with myself though, unless the tickets in fact arrive. xx

    Hey :wave:

    Just following up on what others have said! If you applied and haven't had an email from virgin, does that mean you were sucessful in getting tickets? I haven't had any emails, but I haven't had anything by post either!

    Hmmmm, fingers crossed I guess!!

    IF YOU'RE SKINT......
    Do I need it? Can I afford it? Can I find it cheaper anywhere else?

    IF YOU'RE NOT SKINT......
    Will I use it? Is it worth it? Can I find it cheaper anywhere else?

    I got some tickets. I can't use the out part of my journey but the return is all good. Still saving me money though. I'm going down first class as at late notice that was the cheapest. :) Already had the hoxton booked and am staying with relatives for the other nights. It's a shame I can't use the outward part - got 13.15 on the 8th and asked for either 7th afternoon or 8th morning - 13.15 is too late unfortunately.

    This is interesting some seem to have had tickets others have received a email and others have heard absolutely nothing at all. I belong in the latter class which is irritating as I applied on the first day of the offer.

    it says on the voucher they may ask for ID to prove that the person travelling is the name on the ticket....did they check?
