And it's only open to UK residents. Confused

AlisonMoyet · 03/03/2013 22:18

what IS it for?

OP posts:
AlisonMoyet · 03/03/2013 22:18

Is it just an advert pretending to be a comp?

OP posts:
coppertop · 03/03/2013 22:24

It says it's a "cruel competition" - so is it meant to be cruel because the prizes are probably useless to most people?

Very odd.

AlisonMoyet · 03/03/2013 22:24

AlisonMoyet · 03/03/2013 22:29

T&Cs: The prize is a family ticket (up to 5 tickets ? between Tuesday 2nd July 2013-Saturday 13th July 2013) to the Horrible Histories stage show, Awful Egyptians, at the Drama Theatre in the Sydney Opera House, Australia.
Please note NO TRAVEL IS INCLUDED and the prize is non-transferable

OP posts:
coppertop · 03/03/2013 22:34

It's only the competition link that was on the side of the MN page. It goes to the Horrible Histories website.

Or you can find it by googling "cruel competition sydney" if you're worried about spam.

AlisonMoyet · 03/03/2013 22:35

yes - chillax

OP posts:

The team at MNHQ that deal with comps.

There has been lots of spam so it may be another element of that.

AlisonMoyet · 03/03/2013 23:16

I know. I was kidding.

OP posts:
HelenMumsnet · 04/03/2013 08:14

Morning. Sorry for the initial confusion: I think CatherineMumsnet thought you were referring to a Competition run by MNHQ.

This is a comp being advertised on a banner ad, from what I can work out. If so, it's not a comp run by us. But we'll contact the client who bought the ad as soon as we can, and see what we can find out.
