in I won! I won! I won!
I didn't just go and win a runner up prize in THIS one I posted :cool: :j :T :xmassign: (well I feel like it is!!)

Just goes to show that the NPN route does pay off sometimes.

I have a tent that was narrowly saved from being sold on ebay. By the looks of the weather on Metcheck.com (2 weeks ahead if you've never heard of it) I need to locate some wellies!!

I'm so excited as I've always wanted to go but could never afford to. If it wasn't for someone earlier posting another Q magazine comp, that I got the email to post this one, I'd never have known about it. Thank you whoever you were! ;)

    Well done :j :j

    I've just won this too. When I entered I had every intention of going but now my cousin has announced she's getting married that weekend (she's always been one to do things on the spur of the moment). I told the lady this who rang me and said I couldnt go but she said that the draw had been made. I asked her if they could be sent to my step daughter instead who wanted to go but she said they are non transferable. So my only option now is to ebay them but looking at ebay it looks more difficult than I first thought. Anyone got any ideas?

    You can't sell them on ebay & they are non-transferable! There is a group of Glastonbury supporters who are sabotaging the auctions of people selling tickets The tickets have a photograph printed on them & they will not allow entry to a person not on the ticket & with valid photo ID.

    I'm going too & am so excited!
    nothing to see here, move along...

    These tickets won't have a photo on them. The woman who rang me told me that.

    Have they got your photo already Black Saturn?, if not, and they require one, why don't you send whose you want to give the ticket to, and they can be you for the weekend.

    I asked about the photo thing as I wondered if I needed to send a pair in. The tickets are actually being posted out today recorded delivery so won't require the photo ID thing reserved for standard tickets.

    I'd be worried about selling them as I'd heard about all the ebay goings on before today. A bit of a conundrum!!
