Can my dad take these tickets or do I have to go, which I cant

The terms and conditions on the email says:-

Tickets must be collected on the night from an Opera House representative between 7.00pm and 7.30pm show starts at 8.00pm

Tickets are non-transferable and no cash alternative is available.

    I won concert tickets and took my ID but they never asked for it, - they just handed them over.

    If your worried ring the opera house and see what they say.
    Thanks to everyone who posts comps :T

    I have won a fair few ticket events and have never been asked for I.D just my name, once I had to take the email with me.

    Hopefully it will be OK, good luck on the win ;)
    What we see depends mainly on what we look for

    I wonder if the "non-transferable" means you can't ask for another date?
    Hope you get it sorted and your Dad enjoys it!
    Good luck.

  • Yeah i won some tickets for brandshatch and i gave them to my dad and his mate and i just rang and they changed it. I would just do the same in this case, i dont think they would mind as they are your tickets and you have the right to give them to who you wish! I would defo ring in advance though to put your minds at rest!
    Congratulations by the way!

    I would email her as it does say contact with any questions.

    By the way, are the tickets for the motown show at the Opera House on Mon? When did you get your email? I was really hoping to win that one as there were 50 pairs to give away. Not heard anything though :(

    too many comps..not enough time!
