    Hope not asking to post form as it would not possible with time schedule worried when saying about sign and post back hope at minimum scan and email just hope can ID with us.

    Thanks everyone. I've been watching Twitter too and there are quite a few people with events very soon who are very nervous (@cokezone if you want to look).

    I can't face phoning today, and will sit tight. On one hand I'm grateful for the chance they've given us, but the process has been far from painless. Needless paperwork, delays sending out for the early wins, and for the late winners a lack of realisation of the need for prompt communication.

    Good luck to all!

    Have been calling Cokezone every other day since 25th Jul, the only response I had was they have escalated to the head office and they have no information regarding the prize details or procedures.

    I have just rang them up again today @ 11:20am, a female customer service operator mentioned that they have received 'some details' regarding the winners and will be contacted within today or latest tomorrow.

    FYI - My event is on 10th Aug.

    I have just made yet another phone call and still nothing other than a different version of events. Now Head Office are supposedly ringing me over the next couple of days to sort out how to dispatch the tickets. I have never heard anything quite like it- Erm post man- Sure we have them in the UK!! Considering last week they told me they had been dispatched I don't understand what the problem is.I've told them I 've had enough of all the stories and excuses and if I don't get a call today from Head Office, I am going to the Press. I suggest anyone else who has been messed around by Coke does the same. No wonder they have empty seats when they are taking so long to get tickets out. They said they were still dispatching tickets from 4th August- Told her that was a lie as I know people on here had tickets for later dates!!

    Full terms and conditions & FAQ for the prize draw:

    yyy.cokezone.co.uk/pages/olympics_win_tickets

    Please replace the "yyy" with "www" as new user are not allowed to post with links.

    Click on the yellow small print "TERMS AND CONDITIONS" and "FAQS" for the full details. This will solve all your mystery price claiming procedures.

    In short, you will receive your tickets and 4 x £75 pre-loaded visa card for your spending, which you are required to sign a participation form and provide 4 x photographic IDs (Preferably Passport or Driving License) to claim your prize.

    This is inferred from the following excerpt:

    IF I WIN WILL COCA-COLA BOOK THE TRANSPORT FOR ME TO COME TO LONDON?

    Booking and payment of travel is the responsibility of the winner.
    If you win, Coca-Cola will provide you with a contribution of £75 per person, by means of a pre-loaded Visa card, toward travel. Winners of tickets only will be issued their contribution of £75 per person toward travel via post after claiming the tickets. Winners of tickets and hospitality will be issued their contribution of £75 per person toward travel upon arrival at the hospitality venue on the day of the event they have won. The £75 will come by means of a pre-loaded VISA card. Booking and payment of travel is the responsibility of the winner. When it has been issued to the winner, the pre-loaded Visa card becomes the responsibility of the winner. The Promoter will not provide replacement cards in the instance that cards are lost or stolen.

    DO I REQUIRE ANY IDENTIFICATION TO REDEEM MY PRIZE?

    If you are one of our lucky winners we will ask you and your guests to provide a form of photographic ID to prove that all attending parties conform to the terms of entry for this promotion. Winners or guests aged 12 or over who are not able to prove their ID (preferably a passport or driver's licence; however if you do not have photo ID we will accept confirmation of ID by a professional person who knows you) may not be awarded the prize. If you're under 18 and you win, we will need to get parental or legal guardian consent in order for you to accept the prize. You will also be required to sign a winner's participation agreement form in order to accept your prize.

    Those terms and conditions are for the win every 2012 seconds draw, we won ours on their last minute draw where you picked your dates and were in the draw to win one of 77 sets of tickets.

    Besides when I have rang I have been told that many different stories I don't believe that those terms and conditions apply to this.

    I've just rang again and been told that there will not be an email sent and that someone will call this afternoon or tomorrow. Sorry guys, seems like we're back to that old chestnut again!!
