Terms & Conditions

Thanks for entering Lonely Planet’s Dream Tickets promotion.
Who's running the show?

The promoter is Lonely Planet Publications Ltd (Reg. No 03970495) of 2ndFloor, 186 City Road, London EC1V 2NT, United Kingdom. Our friends at STA Travel Ltd(Reg. No. 1263330),Priory House, 6 Wrights Lane, London W8 6TA, United Kingdom are our promotional partner. Information about the prizes and how to enter forms part of these conditions of entry. By entering the promotion, these conditions of entry apply to your entry. Any changes to these conditions of entry will be subject to regulatory approval and published on the Lonely Planet website at www.lonelyplanet.com, so you should check these conditions of entry regularly.
Can I play?

This promotion is open only to legal residents of the United Kingdom, aged 18 years or older at the time of the promotion. The laws in some places don't allow Lonely Planet to run this promotion, in which case the promotion and these conditions of entry are void in those places. Also, you can't enter this promotion if you (or your immediate families or housemates) are employed by Lonely Planet, STA or their subsidiaries and affiliated companies.
How do I play?

To enter, go to www.lonelyplanet.com/competitions/dreamtickets and enter your details. You don't have to buy anything to enter. Details regarding each prize draw are set out below in the 'Promotion Timeline' table. You can enter the competition any time from 12am on 15 August 2011 GMT and 11.59pm on 31 October 2011 GMT. Each Promotion Period commences at 12.00am GMT on the specified start date, and closes at 11.59pm GMT on the end date. Your entry will be valid for all Promotion Periods subsequent to your entry date, unless you win a prize (in which case you will be ineligible to receive any further prizes for the duration of this competition).
You can only enter once we'll make confetti out of any extra entries you submit. Your entry is received at the time Lonely Planet receives it. If your dog eats your entry, it's not Lonely Planet's fault. If your entry gets lost in cyberspace or doesn't arrive for any other reason, that's not Lonely Planet's fault either. Lonely Planet might have to extend the dates of the promotion but only if it's totally unavoidable and we'll let you know if we do.
Draw no. Promotion Period Date of draw Date of notification Date of redraw Start date End date 1 15 August 2011 26 August 2011 29 August 2011 31 August 2011 7 September 2011 2 27 August 2011 9 September 2011 12 September 2011 14 September 2011 21 September 2011 3 10 September 2011 23 September 2011 26 September 2011 28 September 2011 5 October 2011 4 24 September 2011 7 October 2011 10 October 2011 12 October 2011 19 October 2011 5 8 October 2011 31 October 2011 2 November 2011 4 November 2011 11 November 2011 How do you pick the winner?

There will be one winner drawn for each Promotion Period as set out in the Promotion Timeline. The winners will be determined by a random draw of all eligible entries. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received during that Promotion Period. The unenviable tasks will happen in a small, dark room at 186 City Road, London, EC1V 2NT, United Kingdom on the dates set out in the Promotion Timeline. The draw is random and so no correspondence will be entered into.
Lonely Planet can cancel or modify the promotion if there are compelling technical or administrative reasons which we cannot control. If that happens, Lonely Planet will conduct the draw from all eligible entries received at that time.
What can I win?

First prize consists of 2 return economy class tickets to Boston, USA, flying Virgin Atlantic (approximate retail value £760).
Second prize consists of 2 return economy class tickets to Nairobi, Kenya, flying Virgin Atlantic (approximate retail value £970).
Third prize consists of 2 return economy class tickets to Los Angeles, USA, flying Virgin Atlantic (approximate retail value £1,000).
Fourth prize consists of 2 return economy class tickets to Delhi, India, flying Virgin Atlantic (approximate retail value £1,040).
Fifth prize consists of 2 return economy class tickets to Shanghai, China, flying Virgin Atlantic(approximate retail value £1350).
All flights will depart from the closest international airport (within the UK) to the winner which services flights to the destination specified in the prize description. Information on how to book will be provided to each eligible winner within 6 weeks of notification that they have won a prize. Flights are subject to availability at the time of booking . Blackout periods may apply, which will be notified to each winner at the time of booking. Winners have 12 months from the date the prize is award in which to complete their travel. Once issued, tickets cannot be changed. Lounge passes and upgrades are not permitted to be used in conjunction with these tickets. Both STA's standard booking conditions and Virgin Atlantic's standard conditions of carriage apply.
Winners will be required to verify their identity and age before they can receive their prizes.
All prizes are provided by STA. Total prize value is approximately £8,250. These prize values are accurate at the start of the promotion.
How do I find out if I won?

We'll give the winner the good news by contacting them by email. If you're riddled with curiosity, send us a stamped, self-addressed envelope (including the name of the promotion) within 3 months of the date of the draw, and we'll write back and tell you who won.
Lonely Planet will do its best to find each winner. But if we can't, or if a particular winner hasn't accepted the prize within 7 days of notification that they have won, or if the winner's entry does not comply with these terms and conditions, a redraw for the relevant Promotion Period will be conducted on the date set out in the Promotion Timeline and a new winner announced.
If you do win …

To collect your prize you will need to visit your nearest STA store - STA will give you a goodie bag and invite you to enjoy a celebratory glass of champagne when you arrive. STA will also take your photo, so bring your best smile! You can't exchange the prize for cash, or ask us to give it to someone else (not that you'd want to!). We will use reasonable efforts to award the prize as described but if, due to unforeseen circumstances, we are unable to do that, we'll substitute it either for cash or another prize of comparable value, but we'll decide which.
You'll be responsible for all taxes, insurance, accommodation, airport transfers and any other expenses, fees and costs connected with that prize that are not included in the prize description.
If, in order to take the prize, you're lucky enough to need a valid passport and/or other necessary travel documentation and visas, you'll need to sort those out for yourself (including finding out what documents you need).
You are responsible for your use of the prize, including complying with any applicable terms and conditions of use.
Of course, if you win a prize, you'll be good and comply with all relevant laws, rules and regulations.
What happens to my entry?

You agree that all of your entry is your own work. On submission, your entry becomes the property of Lonely Planet.
Lonely Planet and its promotional partners will only use the personal information contained in your entry to conduct the promotion and award the prize (but if you've told Lonely Planet that you want to receive stuff from us and/or our promotional partners, we'll use your personal information for that too). If you win a prize, you agree that your name may be used in post-draw publicity (including via blog on STA's preferred blogging system) during and after the promotion. If you win a prize, Lonely Planet and STA can use your name and photo for future marketing purposes unless you tell us not to. We will keep your personal information in accordance with Lonely Planet's privacy policy at http://www.lonelyplanet.com/legal/privacy-policyand STA's privacy policy at http://www.statravel.co.uk/cps/rde/x...ral-policy.htm.
Good luck!

    thanks for the comp but as the link is the same for all the draws please could you edit your title to state 'not open until 08/10'or people may enter & disqualify themselves from the other draw

    Edit, just realised that you only enter once to be included in all the draws for each destination unless you win a prize so make sure you haven't entered the comps for the other destinations first
    Positivity is the key to success
