I won but missed the boat

Have just checked my hotmail and I had a message saying

Congratulations, you are a lucky winner of 2 tickets to 'Art on Ice' featuring Chris De Burgh at the Hallam FM Arena on Saturday 10th February at 8pm.

To claim your tickets ......on Saturday 10th February between 9am and 4.30pm.

Thank you for entering our competition, we hope you enjoy the show.

E-mail was sent late Friday 9th and I was out all day and most of yesterday evening so have only just managed to log on.

  • Perhaps you could email them to tell them what's happened - it might make them change their prize-giving timescale for futrue comps.
  • I had the same email as well but didn't read the email until this morning as I use my yahoo account for comps only. Oh well. C'est Le Vie
