Paralympic Closing Ceremony - win??? Any help appreciated!

Another day, another conundrum.

I have received an email today, with my name on it, from London 2012 Ticketing talking about my tickets for the Paralympic 7 a side Football and the Closing Ceremony and instructions for the day. I don't have tickets for this event and I've entered what feels like 100s of competitions for Olympic/Paralympic tickets over the last few weeks. Can't find anything on here, searched all sorts of word combinations, Googled too - does anyone have any ideas or does it ring any bells with anyone?

Any help gratefully received.
2012 Comping Goals:-
Gold-Win £2012 worth of prizes in 2012-£3142.54
Silver-Win 20 prizes in 2012-26/20
Bronze-Win 1) Olympics Tickets (nearly for me - tour of Olympic stadium and lunch at the restaurant; trip of a lifetime for hubby - place at Powerade Academy :j) 2) Family holiday/short-break 3) laptop/ipad

  • Not at all, I thought as much when I couldn't find it on here. I also had a slight panic that I'd bought them without realising when I was furiously trying to get what tickets I could the other week!!
