Can't enter, but that's a pretty good idea for earning tickets.
Hope you'll publish the winners

I can't enter either - I can't be in London to watch the premier.
Good job I won two cinema tickets at my local cinema for a film of my choice () last week on my local radio station.

Seeing as every winner only gets one ticket, I've taken the liberty of correcting the (somewhat misleading) subject line.

If I win then EV has to win too, or I'm smuggling him in

And that'll be awkward, because I haven't entered.

No EV can have my ticket if I win.

Don't be a fool Croz, sell it on ebay.

What good is a ticket like that being on sale on EBay? There's only 24 hours between the close of the competition and the premiere, and to be frank there's not a hope in hell that the post office being able to get them out to everyone in time.

That's okay, because there's no chance of anyone who lives more than 20 miles away from London being able to arrange transport and accommodation at such short notice either.

It hasn't been thought out very well at all

Well the time lag inbetween the wonderful PR company offering us the tickets (which is remarkably generous of them!) and the the competition going up on the site was less than an hour...

That is quick and I'm not disputing that, it's the fact that there is so little time between the close of the competition and the premiere. And the fact that as I've entered, EV can't go with me. Suppose it's my fault for not reading the blurb properly, but I saw 'win tickets' and assumed (wrongly) that it'd be a pair of tickets. It might have been wiser to offer 10 pairs instead of 20 single ones

I guess it would be just about feasible if the winners collected the tickets in person at the Towers rather than posting them out
