in I won! I won! I won!

Just had an email that I have won 2 tickets to the Monster Mashup party. Unfortunately it is tonight, so not enough notice for me to go.


As it states that I have to provide ID I don't think I will be able to sell/offer them to anyone else. Shame really as the tickets are worth £40 each and there are some good artists performing.


Thanks Laks and all who post, am gutted I didn't get more notice.

LBM 12.09.12 - £53K in debt.
DFD - 11.07.2019 (OMG).
New DFD is 28.10.2018 due to paying the absolute maximum.

Thanks to everyone on the DMP forum, and to SC for helping me out of this huge hole.

    Yes these are for London.


    What do you mean by comping Karma??


    I wanted to go, but after only receiving the email at 1:£0pm today I don't have enough time to organise babysitting or transport.

    When you ask a promoter to redraw a prize so someone else has a chance of winning and it doesn't go to waste - the Karma part is you winning something else (maybe a prize another person asked to be redrawn).
    or
    When you waste a prize someone else would have loved - the Karma part is another winner doing the same with a prize you would have loved.

    Well hopefully the karma police will be in action soon. I emailed them back and said I couldn't go and asked them to redistribute them

    Am still gutted as wins are very rare!!
