First Win

Hi guys,

Just had an email saying I've won tickets to the London Car Show. I have no idea what to do with them as I wont be going. They have just provided a link to download the tickets so not really something I can flog.

Just happy I've broke my duck :) But any ideas what I should do with them?

  • Hey congrats on the win. Can you not download the tickets and sell them? I once won some tickets for a concert and they emailed the tickets i put them on Ebay and just emailed the tickets through to the person, they was happy with that.
    Not sure how much you would get for them though but might be worth a try, try Ebay or Gum tree or even face book?
    Or you could just give them away on here if your feeling generous :-)
    Hope you sort it and either way congrats :D

    Why not email back and say "Thank you for notifying me of my win, unfortunately circumstances have changed and I will no longer be able to use these tickets so please draw another winner"
    That way you get the satisfaction of knowing that you won, but somebody else also gets a win!

    PLEASE don't just waste the tickets - that's really unfair to everyone who would really like to go!

    I didn't realise that the tickets were today, I got notified at 5pm last night that I won and the tickets are for today. Oh well.

    If somebody can make use of them, let me know and I'll give you the link. I'm not going to sell them.
