    Seems pretty clear to me too.

    They will have sent them all out by 4th June - so until that date you wait.

    They are also unable to send a person down to the mail holding areas to route through THOUSANDS of applications looking for yours.

    Did you really think they would?

    No I didn't - what I meant was it seems to contradict itself.

    "Unfortunately we are unable to advise on individual applications. However, we have been advised that you should receive your tickets no later than 4th June 2014. "

    If they can't guarantee, they should have said "if you have been successful you should receive your tickets..." etc.

    This email implies "you" - as in me. I should receive my tickets. Not that I might.

    Well no not really - it says we can't advise on individual applications, so really it's just a holding email saying oh we can't say if you in particular are getting any, but you'll have them by 4th June.

    Exactly. So not really difficult to understand then - you should have your tickets by 4th June.

    'Should' indicates a probability or expectation, not a guarantee.

    I fail to see any ambiguity or what the issue is.

    I had tickets booked for the 2nd June, I still haven't had mine :(

    THey said that they can't resend them cause then I will have 2 sets!! I said I don't have ANY sets at the moment. The email I got back said they would look into it on the 4th June.. 2 days after I should have gone :(

    I am so upset as I booked a day off work to go

    Are these different ones where you choose the date?

    How did you get them - was it the Sun+ offer?

    I have had a response from the email I sent -

    Thank you for your recent correspondence. Your enquiry has been escalated to a Manager to look into. As soon as they have had the opportunity to confirm what the situation is with regards to this application they will respond to your enquiry.


    Fingers crossed it gets resolved, tho it is unlikely to be before I actually go up there now! We live in Berks, and were going up that way for half term.

    Have the same issue as you, sun online chat and there manager says i have declined tickets, when I haven't and even had confirmation from them for the date. The manager just says its my fault and that there's nothing they can do as all the tickets are gone. Even thou, there still sending replacement ones out to other customers. Total joke from the sun, especially as a sun+ member.

    Is anybody still waiting for tickets or is it just us?

    Providing you collected all the tokens, was it possible to order as many as you like of these at the same address?

    I understood it to be one per household but I don't have the terms and conditions to hand to confirm.

    No. One per household, if multiple applications were made they would void ALL applications.
