    I have to say that I was never so glad to know it was a mistake. I already was flying abroad to celebrate my son's birthday on those dates and we were making calculations of how to flight back to the UK in order to go to the final.


    I wouldn't be surprised if some people has already incurred in some financial losses trying to arrange things asap. I can see lawsuits coming their way.


    In fact I think that everyone who got an email should join together and sue them.

    Received the same email myself. Thought it was genuine as you had to go to the Zavvi site log in and send them a message

    I remember this happening to hundreds of us a few years ago with a Boots competition we all thought we had won.
    I think they offered everybody £10 worth of Boots points as an apology.

    I cant remember where the holiday was for, but I do remember a lot of us were upset at the time. xx

    This also happened a while back but it was for a huge haul of fragrances I believe - everyone won! The company offered a 10% discount code to all affected I think. It's very disappointing getting a WEM to then find out it was an error...
