    Have been tirelessly searching for spare wristbands after failing to win some! Foolishly booked accommodation and travel as a surprise for my other half before realising that the event was going to be ticketed again this year. Am begging anybody with spare wristbands or can no longer use theirs, there is a loving home waiting for 2 wristbands! We have been every year for the past 10 years at least. I know that there are a lot of people looking for wristbands, if anybody has some, please please help xxx
  • My spare wrist bands have arrived! First come first served! Need address as wanna post these first thing

    Arrrghh so i got two tickets for this and cant go now :(

    If anyone wants them pm me, im not 100% sure i can get them to you in time though as i wont get them until two days before the event.

    Im in Glasgow if that helps

    Edit to add the i got the tickets for free so i dont want money for them

    Edit: Tickets gone, i had a much higher response than i was anticipating so i just offered them to a fellow glaswegian as i thought they had the best chance of getting them on time. Thanks everyone
    you say you had a very high response but there was only one, me, to thankyou for offering them. i'm not bothered that someone else has got them but i think people could click thanks

    I see someone has got them for sale on ebay. Two wrist bands and the latest bid is £16.
    I have reported it to ebay and also notified the visit Blackpool office as this definitely isn't allowed.
    I was very lucky and won 6 wrist bands and had hoped to go with sister, brother and spouses, but due to work commitments we now can't go.
    When I actually receive the wrist bands through the post, I will offer them on here for free, to be picked up, as I am only a few minutes away from Blackpool.
    I may be very cheeky and ask for a donation to be made to the local lifeboat station, which is next to where I work!

    no need to say sorry, i have now got some tickets, i was just pointing out the fact that even though you had got loads of pms noone could be bothered to thankyou.
