    no idea

    just curious as to why you would enter a comp when i'm presuming the dates were specified and then complain about it being too short notice

    Comp was probably aimed at people who could attend at short notice - lots of Londoners probably could have. Maybe they can redraw if you ask them
  • alright say it like you mean, dont you think the day of the festival is short notice.
    anyway i think i will return to lurking instead of posting then.

    yeah should do really, give someone else a chance, thanks for the tip.
    yeah i'm far from london
  • will definitely look at dates more closely i just saw closing dates at the top not the dates when winners announced.
    i'll learn

    This is why I rarely enter for tickets after I had two lots in one week which arrived after the event and since my time machine is on the blink... mind you I did kick up and they both (grudgingly) provided an alternative prize of equal or greater value ;)

    There are some odd Ts and Cs sometimes - Family holiday prizes where the kids holidays are blocked out seem to crop up quite a bit!
