I won but SO disappointed!

I won tickets to a screening of the new Ramones documentary (thanks for posting Cheeky Chicken) but they sent the email telling me of my win less than 2 hours before the film was due to begin making it impossible for us to attend! I'm so disappointed and a bit fed up because it doesn't seem there was any effort to allow us to actually use the prize! :confused:

    Maybe you could email them and explain that getting the prize 2 hours before the screening made it impossible for you to attend and feel that it would be nice for them to offer you something else , could be a waste of time but you never know ;)

    well done, what a shame they left it so late. Let them know what you think about it, you never know they might offer something else

    definately phone them/email them, doesn't really seem practical to inform you 2 hours before.

    That seems to have happened to a lot of people who've won tickets for show or films. Hope you get something else instead! Good luck!
    If you have nothing constructive to say just move along.
