    DD would have LOVED this. I think it's generally quite dodgy trying to sell tickets so most people don't enter for those they won't be able to go to. Obviously life does get in the way though sometimes and tickets are won that can't be used. Also, they probably won't even send you tickets they'll probably just put your name on a guestlist, so you can't really sell that on eBay. What a shame.

    Congrats :T

    Have you got the tickets, they are usually in your name, or whoever uses them will maybe need id.
