Yeah but only 90 winners.

 

Sorry I'll shush, there's still hope :D :kiss:

I just went out for a few hours.... no phone call.

 

Gah. Guess that's it then. Thats the thing about it being Radio 2, they have an enormous audience. We had no chance really.

 

The poor guys won't have their best fans there now :p

this guy potsed that two days ago and the t&cs said FROM 7 AUGUST meaning anytime from today......................................................

Listeners, who have secured a place, will be contacted by phone from Thursday 7 August and then issued a confirmation letter.

so there could be more than 90 people contacted. they approach the first 90 people, and if they decline or they can't get hold of them after a few tries, they can move to the reserves. in the same way that employers will contact a successful applicant first, and can then approach the runners-up if the first declines.

interesting :thinking:

No call for me either. I'll soldier on then.

Why is it that NBC (who aren't that bloody smart) can grasp the concept that Coldplay's fans are on this board and if you want "fans" at the show, contact this site to give out the tickets....but other contests just don't get it. :dozey:

Strongly agreed Mel!!!!! :veryangry:

That does seem logical Jenjie, as I wrote before. The issue then becomes did they really start contacting people on Tuesday (in which case the places are surely all already filled), or was that guy lying (and to what end only goodness knows why, it's unfathomable).

 

There are a few more twists and turns left in this, I'm sure. But I'd really like to know how things stand tomorrow, does anyone have a useful phone number for the BBC for this? I've had a good look around their site and can't find one (things seem to have changed there since I last looked, before the first BBC gig).

You could try the number you rang to register...

Good call RedGirl, I did just that. Unfortunately the Radio 2 helpline staff take their information from the webpage we entered from, so it appears we know as much as they do.

 

If anyone has another useful number for the main BBC please let me know, I will get on to them tomorrow and try to get through to the people who are actually running the comp.

I thought that number just went through to the robotic answering machine thing :sad:

 

I know these people try to make it as hard as possible for us minions to get in contact with them :angry:

I thought that too Kara, but it's actually the/a (?) radio 2 helpline/show access number. Not the people you need to speak to if you want answers, that much is clear!!

 

If someone gives me the main switchboard no I'll phone tomorrow and be most persistent till I get an answer for us all.

If I remember correctly once you went through the 3000 options on that automated line there was a 'any other enquiries' option at the end...

 

At least I think there was...

Oh, right.

Yeah, it would be nice to be filled in on the situation.... thanks Pete :)

 

I really wish they contacted Ian for this one......seriously :sneaky: a la today show.

Yep, that's what I just did Mimi. But that's the radio 2 phoneline, and the competition's being run by another part of the BBC. I want either the main switchboard number or another one that will get me an answer.

 

Better luck tomorrow I hope, for all of us :)

 

G'night

Oh sorry, serves me right for only reading half the thread :lol: Silly me.

 

Thanks for trying :D

No worries :) We may not get to heaven, but I'll give some BBC flunkys a damn good ear-bashing in the process of trying :D

 

Sweet dreams one and all, still hope to see old friends and new from here at the BBC Radio Theatre on the 30th!!

Thanks for trying that, Pete! :)

No call for me either. I'll soldier on then.

 

i cant believe nobody with a ticket have entered here,

have good luck calling, maybe this weekend i can give it a try too, looking for the apropiate number to do so.

 

i sooo want it... and cant believe i will still have to wait for more days.... :(

Sorry guys, been absolutely rushed off my feet here all day, and it doesn't look like I'll have a spare fifteen minutes till well after office hours, but I will try then.

 

The BBC switchboard number can be found here (the second one they give is one I've seen elsewhere too):

Ah, here's another page with the main number for radio as well:

I have managed to fire off a quick email query, but don't expect to hear about that for days really, if ever, just something I did have time to do.

 

Fingers, arms, legs and toes all crossed that some of us get in :)

I'm guessing no one had a call yet then?

sorry guys.... for me also that means no live reports on this board...:cry:

Is it time for everyone to shout "Fix (You)!!"??:rolleyes:
