    Hi sophiaa - I've been checking on Twitter and all they're saying is that you have to wait until 19th May to see if you've been successful, that tickets aren't guaranteed and it's first come first served blah blah blah.

    There are A LOT of people complaining about it though...

    This isn't good! I know it mentions in the terms that it is first come, first served, but since they made such a big deal out of it you'd hope/expect that they had enough (or can get enough) for all applicants :(

    Only 4 days until this deadline and still nothing... is there any way at all of contacting them if I still haven't got the tickets by the 19th?

    I've not had mine either, and came to look here. Sent for 3 lots, one to here and 2 to relatives, so we can all go. Nothing for either. I have been doing this for years and have always received tickets. It said in the advert "2 free tickets for every reader" so i don't see how they can renege on it. It isn't right you spend money on buying the paper and then on 2 stamps per application only for them to knock it back!

    Just received my stamped addressed envelope - which was opened and no tickets inside! :( How are people contacting The Sun about problems with this promotion? Trying to find a contact number but haven't been able find one so far...
  • Still not received mine. Sent 3 lots (2 for friends) recorded delivery 25 march, signed for 27 march so the 3rd date could possibly have been received by the sun. Got the same spiel on twitter, wait til 19th and if not am successful as first come first served! What is going on this year? Are they trying to tell me they'd ran out of tickets in 2 days?! Seriously?! I've done this offer for years and never had this problem. I'll be calling Monday after the postman has been and if no tickets I want refunding for the papers and recorded delivery as obviously their error! Anyone had tickets in last few days?

    I had mine come through yesterday. My parents sent theirs on the same day and haven't had anything. I sent mine off just before the closing deadline

    And this is what makes me think it isn't first come first served - I sent mine on 27th March!

    The dates I've been given were my last choice. They are for October.
