    Oh what a shame I would email them back and tell them, you may get some thing else, I got tickets for a comp late so emailed the company and they gave me another prize, good luck let us know ;)

    I also missed out on the tickets, teach me not to check my emails regularly. Just checked the time of the email and it was sent at 3.21pm so I did not have a hope of winning them anyway.

    Such a pity it's as if some of them are trying to catch you out by giving an impossible deadline that unless you are sitting on your inbox you will miss :(
    Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out :smiley:

  • I won tickets as well, apparently would have been my first win and it was emailed after 4pm with a 3pm deadline. :rolleyes:

    If I were one of the people who had been emailed AFTER the deadline I'd definitely be complaining. They should have sent the emails with 'read receipts' on them, so they _should_ know when people actually opened them too ... though I bet they don't ...

    Sounds a bit of a scam if the emails are timed AFTER the deadline. I'd definitely be complaining. Who was the competition run by ?
