If you look through their account, they've never announced a winner publically, like ever, and they do these sorts of comps all the time it seems. One of the reasons I thought it was bollocks! But apparently not. Eyes on the DMs

if it's none of us, and the winner doesn't brag about it on twitter, not even sure how we'd find out if they drew anything at all. Doesn't look like they reply to any tweets, and as above, they don't announce winners on their twitter. Gonna have to pester EE (who seem to be almost impossibly on top of their twitter mentions).

I messaged metro on Facebook asking for terms and conditions but they have an auto reply so you never actually get a real response which is frustrating. EE on the other hand are bloody fantastic with their replies.

Just a reminder we have a two competitions ending this week and I believe the local newspapers one begins on 26/05.

23/05 Thatchers (12 pairs I think) 

25/05 Wateraid (1 pair)

Turns out the Wateraid one closed today? They're announcing on Wednesday. I swore I read that it was the 25th it closed like you said but just saw a tweet that it was closing and now it's been taken down. Weird.

Almost makes me want to get a contract with them! (not really I only ever hear terrible things). Yeah I can't imagine the Metro ever actually addressing anyone, but I'll be pestering EE a bit later if no one's come forward. 
Interestingly if you search 'Glastonbury ticket' as I just did on twitter, someone comes up claiming to not have paid for their coach ticket but being sent an eticket anyway. Instant reaction is 'what bollocks' but there we go

That is very strange. Definitely not going to admit that I picked the first bloody Google answer I saw. I didn't get an entry into wateraid because I'm a numpty. v v embarrassed.

The Metro one was with EE as well, they'd got the tickets from that. And if you get a coach ticket you get emailed an e ticket which gets you on the coach, where you get the paper ticket (I believe).

Ah yeah, it was easy to do if you googled it! I was tempted to put Crapper as well but thought I'd double check the wiki. Only one pair to be honest so it's still slim pickings. More likely to be lucky with thatchers (praaaay)

EE are help the treasure hunters who don't know how the competition works..... That's just wrong!! A bit like a teacher giving you the answers during an exam!!

Anyone here a Unison member? There's a competition exclusively for members at https://build.falcon.io/-KHUSYumFm3Fx9vE28wt/

I'm not sure what the closing date is, but the page is still up so I'm guessing it's still open. I would have thought that the odds are better than one open to the general public.

11/05 I believe. Not sure why they've still got the page live

@emilyboris oh I see. Did EE come back to you re the metro comp? Fingers crossed for tomorrow and the thatchers competition.

I'll be in France. Going to see Coldplay but regretting buying tickets now, I'm not a huge Coldplay fan and hate flying so really not feeling it right now. Yippee!

Not bugged them yet, might tweet them now. Definitely, fingers crossed all this week! 

Not the biggest Coldplay fan ever but they put on an amazing show, proper entertaining spectacle. Hopefully you'll feel better about it once you're there (and off the plane)! If you need any help with entering competitions and whatnot let me know.

Yeah I know I'll enjoy it once I'm there! Should be grateful haha! Thank you! If I have no wifi there I'll brave the 3G phone bill for 5 mins and message you if that's ok
