Prizes at an event

If a prize is tickets to an invent eg concert, festival or yearly event (example Crufts) and includes another prize such as camera, watch or cash prize. Do you have to attend the event? Do they give you the prize at the event or do you have to show evidence you've been or do they post prize out separately?

I mean if a prize was concert tickets to watch Justin Bieber singing the songs of The Osmonds and also voucher for £250 high street I'd have to question could I sit through that before peeling the skin off my body with a veg peeler just for the voucher :rotfl:

voucher / cash prizes probably get sent separately..

I personally don't enter these ones, especially if the tickets are for something I know a genuine fan would find amazing and it's a once in a lifetime kind of thing, especially as lots of tickets are non transferable so would go to waste. I do understand the temptation where there is a big prize alongside it, wouldn't judge others who do it but it wouldn't feel right to me.

It totally depends what it says in the Ts&Cs. Some companies send everything separately and some stipulate prizes are to be collected from the event so just check the Ts&Cs of each competition you enter of this sort.

It will be different from comp to comp. I tend not to enter for these unless the physical prize is the main part of the prize, if you see what I mean. Ie. If it was a £500 phone and a pair of £10 tickets to a food show, then I'd enter and give the tickets away, but if it was Glastonbury tickets, and you also get a tent, then I wouldn't, as I wouldn't want the main part of the prize.

I don't enter many ticket comps as they're not usually local to me, but I did once win tickets to the races with a hairdryer and straightener and the prizes had to be collected from the race course on race day.
