I knew I couldn't be the only one.  This is the majority of Brothers entries so far (109+), with another 40 unopened to go.

I don't know if its monumental stupidity or triumph of hope over experience. Or I just really want to get to the festival again.

how much of this are you drinking ?

The Guardian competition is also live now. https://www.theguardian.com/info/2024/apr/15/nominate-a-friend-to-go-to-glastonbury-festival-2024 
All I need is some friends to nominate me...(in all likelihood I only need the one ticket as should have a PA application).

It is worth noting that the ts and cs are somewhat inconsistent.
Clause 8 reads: The nominees of the 10 winners will each receive two General Admission Full Weekend tickets for Glastonbury festival 2024.
Clause 11 reads: The prize tickets will be issued in the name of the nominee and their guest and will be sent to the nominee by post by Wednesday 19 June 2024.

So it looks like tickets are in the name of the nominator and nominee, but it really isn't clear given clause 8 suggests 2 tickets go to the nominees.

All I can say is that I'm in a similar cheezy boozy situation, hence the random recipes I'm attempting!

Looks very pretty (much nicer than the contents anyway). Perhaps you could sell it as an art installation?

I was wondering what I could build out of them when the competition is over. I got as far as deciding hot glue maybe a way to join them, but I don't know what what form the arrangement should take.

Seems pretty clear and consistent to me.

 

The nominee gets two tickets - one of them is in their name, the other in the name of their guest which could be but doesn't have to be the original nominator. Don't see it suggesting that the nominator automatically gets one of the tickets anywhere.

Further info on Vodafone competition coming later.

I’m now full of cheese, cider and chocolate again. I hope I make it to Glastonbury as I’ll need the farm to walk it all off 🤣

Quite right. I'm too tired.

You and I both! I finished the last of my chocolate yesterday and I simply cannot face any more. It’s lovely but that’s precisely the bloody issue!!

from memory last year they asked easy to answer questions and asked people to reply to their posts with the answer to be entered into the competition

I enter a lot of competitions 🤪

 

I do too (via Loquax). 

 

The most expensive prize I won was a high end hand made garden table which sat 10 people and was about £3.5K to buy retail. I received the table when me and my wife were right skint. I sold it within the week on ebay for £650. It less than I had hoped (I was asking £850 for it) to get, but it sure did come in handy at the time.

 

I also entered a PG tips competition while drunk one evening. They had asked what the taste of PG Tips invoked for you. I had thought of putting in a proper entry and saying something like it tasted of nectar. However, a bit of naughtiness crept into me and what I actually wrote down was the word 'vomit'. The main prize was for a car, and the 2nd prize was a years supply of PG Tips. They gave me 2nd prize for my entry - which meant that they wanted me to vomit every day for a year. i guess they had the last laugh on that one. Mind you, I did give the years supply of vouchers to one of my brothers and a mate who were sharing a house and were also very skint at that time. Not only that, but the both of them were heavy tea drinkers - so it all panned out well in the end.

You could build a tall top hat out of them. Contact Crazyfool01 (The Master) for guidance on how to construct.

Same!! Thought I’d won

[bovrilla]

I know - me too!  Also, just realised someone above had already posted this but I seemed to miss a whole page... hard to keep up with the competitions at the moment!  Here's hoping some of us on here win some tickets!

I think because it had winner in the title 🤣

If the answer isn't 8, there will be a lot of disappointed people.

Looks like 8 but I’d be tempted to take a risk to up my chances by going 9 ? 

[Lucy92]

Ooh that’s a tricky one! Theres one you could argue is an emoji
