A few wins to thank and help please!

Options
I'm a bit behind with my thanks but had a couple of wins from here the last couple of months I need to thank for:

the first big one of the year was a Smeg fridge from here: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4804262
It arrived the other day and I've always wanted one of these so a big thanks to claire21!

also got an wem the other day to say I won this: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4805667
not sure what it involves yet as I'm still waiting to hear back from the prize fulfilment company but a big thanks to sandyking1986!

and another wem for this: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4882002
unfortunately I had to let them know I can't make it but thanks all the same MaineBlue.

also won something from Who Do You Think You Are? not exactly sure what (think it might be some kind of tutorial) as they called me to say I won and are meant to be calling back with prize details but haven't yet and I can't for the life of me find it again on here but thanks to whoever posted it!

I also won one of the Max Factor Mascaras so another thanks to Hermanni for that!

Also I don't know if anyone can help or if I'm posting in the right place but a few months ago I entered a competition on a company's facebook to win a subscription to their magazine, an Amazon voucher and two tickets to see Fall Out Boy in concert. I then didn't hear anything for a couple of months and when I chased it up they said they can't get hold of the tickets because they are sold out despite saying at the time they already had them. Anyway they said I could choose any other tickets I want so I did but I didn't hear anything back for a few weeks and I had to chase it up again and they've now sent me a message not even mentioning the new tickets I asked for and saying that they'll "hook me up with some goodies in the near future" whatever that means! The thing is I've since found out that the Fall Out Boy concert isn't even sold out at that venue. I'm not sure what to do next, I don't want to come across as a cow and threaten to report them to someone but at the same time they advertised a prize which they should fulfill! Can anyone please advise?

    Or a Ticketmaster gift card? You can buy them all over these days ...

    Well done on your wins and hope you get it sorted :) xx

    Edit: or a cheeky lil email saying you've noticed there's still some tickets available for the venue you'd like to go to ... ;) x

    Well done. If it is a Fab30 then think twice about keeping it. Three years on mine needs defrosting all the time, lots of problems with it. Smeg look nice but the quality is cheap and nasty. Seal falling off and sharp bits where plastic has cracked at edges. If I won mine again I would sell it and buy another instead. Hth x
    MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOUR
  • Wow! Some amazing wins!
  • Thanks everyone and thanks for the advice, I didn't think about a ticketmaster card Melvin so I will ask them but I think the problem is they don't actually want to honour any of the prize :(

    Also thanks for letting me know about the problems with Smeg softpad, I wasn't aware of them but I will definitely think about selling it now, it's in the garage at the minute anyway until I move out because it won't fit in my mum's house!
