We never heard anything back from MNHQ re the cinema tickets, so never got to go. Pity. First thing we had won for a long while.

magnolia74 · 18/01/2010 20:01

Omg Hula thats bloody awful and reaaly not on. Have you contacted mnhq?

Hulababy · 18/01/2010 21:10

I have done today yes. Mainly just to update MNHQ so they know that not all prize winners recieved their tickets. I half expected to ehar something up to Saturday sometime, maybe for Sunday, but never did. I knew it was very short notice for the tickets. Maybe it is our post, although we did recieve post the latter part of last week and this weekend.

Eddas · 18/01/2010 21:12

oh hulababy had you told your dc?

Hulababy · 18/01/2010 21:16

DD did know about it yes. As she is a bit older she wasn't desperately desperate IYSWIM, but we had talked of her going with her friend and younger sister, and considered a friend talking them all so that had a nice afternoon out - esp as I wasn;t sure I could go out at all as recovering from pneumonia. Obviously DD was looking forward to it as a whole package. So, at least it isn't a disaster int hat sense - luckily had not told the other children, or made proper arrangements.

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 18/01/2010 21:24

Right.

I'm going to start entering more.

I'm very of all the winners but will never win if I don't enter!

Watch this space !

Hulababy - that's so rubbish, v sorry if your daughter was disappointed.

Did anyone else who won these tickets get them in time?

We'll get on to PR company pronto and make a fuss/find out what happened.

Hulababy · 19/01/2010 11:18

Thnaks for chasing this up

Lilyloo · 19/01/2010 11:24

I got mine Geraldine

SpottyMaldoon · 19/01/2010 11:38

I won the Wiggles Tickets too Hula.

Clare from the Vue press office called me on Thursday night. She said that they had sent vouchers for the free tickets to my house (they arrived Friday). She wanted to know which cinema/showing I was going to so she could let the cinema staff know to give me free tickets just incase my mail didn't arrive in time.

I'm sorry you didn't get to go perhaps Vue could give you a voucher to see something else?

Hulababy · 19/01/2010 14:36

No message on answer machine from Vue, and no tickets in today's post either - so mot sure what happened. MN looking into it.

GeraldineMumsnet · 19/01/2010 14:38

Anyone else around who can confirm they got their tickets? thanks to everyone who has posted so far

Lilyloo · 19/01/2010 17:35

Hula check your mail and spam , they said they had incorrect number when they called me but left email which went into spam.
Hope you get replacement.

Hulababy · 19/01/2010 19:07

I check my Spam daily and nothing there.

AwayWithTheFaries · 20/01/2010 12:05

sorry you couldnt go hula

Hulababy · 20/01/2010 14:04

Didn't arrive in today's post either, so don't think lost in the post.

ByThePowerOfGreyskull · 21/01/2010 15:15

still very happy but Alexia can you let me know timescales for expecting my prize?

tis DS1's birthday coming up and wondered if it would be here in time to give it to him as his pressie.

Thanks

ByThePowerOfGreyskull · 21/01/2010 17:29

my god that is scarey efficiency!!!

just after I posted I got a call to find out my postcode from a publicity company, then about 5 minutes ago I had my prize delivered

THANKYOU!!!

Hulababy · 21/01/2010 17:31

Thank you so much MN. Vue have sent me a letter today to apologise for us not recieving the Wiggles tickets, and have included 8 free cinema tickets, for films of our choice. Thank you so much; that is way more than I expected.

Eddas · 21/01/2010 19:35

that's fab hulababy, nice to hear they sorted something out for you, now you can see whatever you choose

Lilyloo · 21/01/2010 20:21

Prob works out better for you then Hula

mummyofexcitedprincesses · 21/01/2010 20:36

Just saw this, our Wiggles tickets came on the Saturday with the Sunday's date on them. We couldn't go on the Sunday which was a shame.

Rather than waste them, I gave them to my friend, who had a lovely time with her 3 kids. I'm not too bothered as they were used and enjoyed.

BonzoDoodah · 22/01/2010 09:35

I had a phone call from the nice lady at Vue too on Thursday Unfortunately we couldn't make it to the showing but she said she'd see if we could go another day - but I didn't hear back from her

Hulababy · 22/01/2010 10:22

True lilyloo Very pleased with our free tickets. Means we can all go together to see something when I am properly better, rather than me sending DD off with others.

AlexiaMumsnet · 22/01/2010 12:22

Halfords winners, your prizes are now in the post (as of yesterday). They should hopefully be with you early next week at the latest, do let me know if they don't arrive though
