What next?

I won a competition for tickets to an event, and had a phone call to confirm this.

The show is tomorrow and I've not received the tickets. I have tried to phone and have sent an email but I'm not willing to travel hundreds of miles the other end of the UK when I don't know how I'll get into the show.

Should I refer this to the IPM?

    Maybe the tickets have been 'left at the door'....maybe you could phone and ask for the ticket office there to see if they have them.Such a shame you have been messed about like this...
  • :jWell done on winning the tickets! I can certainly understand your reluctance to travel. If you can't get through to them to get satisfaction or tellig them you're going to complain, I certainly would. If they give a prize they should honour it!!!:mad:

    Did you actually enter the competition? some rouges send out freebies to get you away from the house so they can rob it.
    If no response from your email then write it off.
  • Any ticket's I've won for an event - the tickets are usually collected at the event.
    Thank you, to all those who make the comps forum, what it is.

    Was it for the outdoor show event at all. I won but they wont email back
    I hope that my child, looking back on today
    Will remember a mother who had time to play;
    Because children grow up while you're not looking,
    There are years ahead for cleaning and cooking.
    So, quiet now cobwebs, dust go to sleep.
    I'm nursing my baby, and babies don't keep.
  • Thanks. Yes, I did win the tickets...I entered the comp via here and the promoter who contacted me is legit. They told me they were sending me the tickets. I was going to ring the box office again later today to check if they're there though.
