I've won tickets to glade festival and have decided to sell them on as I can't make it. the problem is, i recieved a code, which was the same code sent to all the winners, then someone decided to post the code on a forum so now posibly hundreds of people have obtained free tickets, MY free ticket and I'm left with nothing!

I hate you ravetalk, i really do..

I've already phoned clashmusic.com where i've won them from and they're getting back to me, so unfair that all these randomers have got free tickets from doing absolutely nothing! :mad:

edit: clashmusic have got back to me and have redeemed themselves by offering me another prize!

    You sold a competition win - I imagine they'll be less than sympathetic. It's sort of an unspoken rule that tickets should not be sold on... ;)
    Best wins: Luxury weekend in Russia, family holiday to France, catered BBQ for 20, Selfridges shopping spree, jolly to Majorca, £1,000 See Tickets vouchers, £500 John Lewis vouchers, five-star weekend in Provence!

    Can`t see why you have a problem you didn`t want to use them.
    Make £2 a day challenge - doing well so far.

    yes but the person that i sold it to did..
    I know it's an unspoken rule to sell wins on but those tickets I won belonged to me! thankfully, they were sympathetic and ive been offerered another prize. It's more than unfair that other people who have won this competition can't go because the PR for seetickets gave out the same code which could be used multiple times and random people have got winners tickets!

    Well good on you then for getting another prize but you can't really complain at least the people that posted the code were giving them away free and not selling them.

    Can you advise what number you contacted them on? I emailed and have had no reply. I won, and want to use the tickets but the link and code do not work.

    Dont understand why you are moaning, you have been given another prize for something you was not gonna use. Be grateful for what you get.
    You was only gonna sell them on. If I win tickets and cant go I normally give them away as they where FREE
    Thanks to everyone who posts

    There has been a lot of ticket giveaways recently from what I suspect is people just entering comps for the sake of it and not actually looking at the dates/location.
    Thank you all who post.
