    I haven't had mine yet either. Can't remember which date bands I requested but I didn't request any for pre-CBeebies land opening and avoided summer holidays.

    Tweeted them and they replied saying: "If you do not receive any tickets by May 19th 2014, you have been unsuccessful on this occasion"

    So a little while yet.

    This should be sorted well in advanced in my opinion. There should be a dedicated webpage where you apply before you start collecting the papers. All the papers have a unique code printed in them, so this would not be impossible to implement. Then it would save people wasting time collecting the tokens if they are not going to get any tickets. Moving to a online system would be much better and cost effective.

    It really should be moved online I believe. At first you register and this then tells you that your in. Then these unique codes could be added and a date assigned to you. It would work much better then just charge people 50p on their card to cover postage it would work better imo.
