The Sun Competitions!

Hello,

I had a call on Tuesday 15th May from The Sun to say I'd won the Jay-Z and Kanye West VIP tickets at the London O2 this Saturday 19th May and they stated that the sponsors would be in touch to give me the details. I've not heard anything since and am wondering is this usual to find out the day before etc?

If anybody knows then please could they let me know! Thank you!!

    I don't think this would be typical but I haven't had any dealings with The Sun competitions - I would give them a call.

    Hey :) I did have my prize delivered and it was amazing!!! I was in the VIP box with Rihanna all night!

    I am a little confused as to why the Sun said that the prize included travel and even though the prize was actually with Mercury Records I didn't receive any voucher etc towards travel!?

    I have emailed Mercury Records to question this last week but haven't heard anything :( The travel cost me and my friend £60 each.

    I guess I can't complain too much though as the tickets and accomodation were paid for!
