    Sorry if this is the wrong thread..I joined the forum last Tuesday and notice quite a few abbreviations, WEM, LEM, OP etc. Is there a thread / Link that will tell us newbies what they all mean?

    Thought it might be a good idea for a thread that shows you how the different websites or prize promoters etc usually let you know that you have won. Ill post the ones I know here so if there are anymore etc let me know and Ill update the original post. If its not a good idea Ill quite happily delete the thread but thought some people might find it useful and didnt think it had already been done. I dont know which ones you have to check the website for and dont know for ones I havent won through! Couldnt decide how to put them so have put them alphabetically by website/promoter
    Listed 607 prizes Wow
    So approx:
    304 by email 50%
    184 just turn up 30%
    83 by phone 14%
    36 by letter 6%

    Check your emails!!

  • I got emailed about a hour ago for a gig tomorrow! Woo!

    This is the 3rd time I've won gig tickets - but always, always the day before! It's so annoying as I have to ring around good mates and see if they want to go - and inevitably they are always busy (with girlfriends) or out-of-town! There's always one free friend, but it takes effort + time! Grrrrh! It's so very annoying!

    Has anyone else experienced this?
    2010:
    3 gig tickets, including 'The Drums' :), indie Xmas party tickets! More gig tickets :j

    2011:
    January: Superdrug win, online viewing of film, 2x gig tickets for (Egyptian Hip Hop + The Vaccines!)
