Quickie 2-day Forum Giveaway Draw for 2x Standing tickets for Wembley!

Cheers for the good wishes for Mr W's recovery, wth updated gory details here.

Seeing as we've two standing tickets for Wembley going spare, we thought it might be nicer and more fun to give them away via a draw for devoted fans & Elbow Room forum members, rather than pass them to mates who might be available but not appreciate the night as much .

Here's the craic:
1. Before entering the draw, please be 100% sure you can get down to Wembley for Saturday night. It'd be a shame for someone to get them, then not be able to use them because they couldn't get the lift they were promised, time off work, right trains etc.

2. The draw closes at Midnight Wednesday 11th March. This is so I can Special Delivery them to the winner the next day/Thursday morning and they'll arrive Friday before 1pm, so if you win I'll text you for an address where you'll be to receive them (work, parents etc).

3. To enter, just email me via the link on my profile, so I have your username. I also need your mobile phone number so if you win I can text you and get your address either late on Weds night or earlier-on Thursday morning.

4. The winner will be picked by me on Weds night in the time honoured method; writing down all entered usernames on bits of paper, then picking one at random from a hat/bowl/paper bag. If for some reason the first person drawn out doesn't get back to me with an address by 10am Thursday, I'll pick out a back-up person, assuming more than one person enters! So, if you're interested, please keep your mobile nearby Weds night/Thursday am.

Hopefully MT & Dabamash are up for this, but thought I'd best post this ASAP to give people a chance. Good luck!

After glancing at train prices (and wincing!) there's really no reasonable way Sarah and I would be able to go, sniff. This is a great idea though, and so generous of both of you to give your tickets to people who will really appreciate them! People like me and sarah, bloody bills and stupid overpriced train tickets..

Cheers Al: Shame Mr Branson is asking too many readies for the journey, but if things change & you can go, let me know and I'll put you &/or Sarah in the hat.

Well Sarah's still at work, if she comes home after finding a wallet in the street I'll definitely let you know

What a fantastic idea and how kind of you!
Youz are little stars, ye know!

Stickied. Good Luck all, I can't enter cos I'm working that night

I would enter, but i'm unable to go on the weekend, good luck to everyone who is entering.

Oh you're great, but I'm from Germany... :-S

Must admit I've never been abroad just for a gig, but if you know someone near London, plus enough spare time and money to come over, would it be worth having a go, EF? Like Peter Gabriel once sang, 'Games Without Frontiers'

And for anyone else half-tempted...roll up, roll up, just over 24 hours to go.

I REALLY want to enter this draw but cant get time off, was thinking of doing a 'sickie' but cant get my beloved to do the same-damn his principles. But wanted to say what an extremely generous thing to do Mrs Woman, I hope Mr W is well very soon. They say 'what goes around comes around' so something lovely is sure to happen to you soon.

Mrs W (and Mr W), you're both absolute blooming stars! Thank you so much.

You're not alone, EF: Are you off to any of the German festivals or big gigs in summer instead?

As you'll have already guessed, the lucky winner was holmes73, a 'long-time listener, first-time caller' on the forum.
Cheers to those who had a go as well. Have a great gig holmes!

What a really nice thing to do, hope the lucky gent enjoys the gig !

Not not really. But I'm not into festivals and camping! For these reasons there's MTV! They broadcast a few live concerts!
